Your blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness.

That's why people are leaving it, right? That's why you didn't want migrants back, right?

Whether it's international politics or not, the lines about slavery are rich given everything down there. You're still doing it with that cartel bullshit, and he's stopping it by kicking economic migrants out of his country. This posturing is nonsense.

Gay autism. You know where you might be able to find people to discuss Georgism with you? Reddit.

You have to go back.

This, but instead of "Hitler" it's "Reddit."

I wasn't impressed with what little of Progress and Poverty I read and there's a strong streak of anti-car and environmentalist faggotry among Georgists that I don't like. But the basic pitch of why a land value tax is good is such common sense that economics as a whole supports it and I think the moral aspect of it makes a lot of sense too.

At the rate President Trump is going, before long people will forget Biden was even President. Heck, Joe is likely starting to forget he was President.

Re Colombia, imposing the tariffs is good, gets their attention. Every country whose people came here illegally needs to take those people back. Period. Not our problem, we didn't invite them and we take plenty of immigrants legally.

Our imports from Colombia, 2022.


Our exports to Colombia, as of January 2025.


Something from the State Department re relations with Colombia, dated 20 January 2025.

Surely the Soros kid is smarter than that.

George Soros disowned his older son, Jonathan Soros, who inherited his financial brains and removed him from his foundation for reasons neither will talk about around 2011-2012. It's all rather opaque, as Jonathan both before and after being removed championed the same neoliberal causes. The younger Soros kid, Alex, is a progressive dipshit more interested in hanging out with celebrities, and doesn't even have a financial background.

Regarding the ICE stuff, does anyone know what the deal is around coordinates
34°03'18"N 118°13'30"W on Google Maps? It's a thing going around Twitter now:

If you look around those coordinates, which are in LA, you get a lot of HELP etched into the ground, as well as words like TRAFFICO.

The writing is real, mind, so I am wondering what the heck.

Probably late but using street view you can see it happened between Feb and July 2023.

Ok. Jefferson would also call it gay autism. That's my argument, you can go back to Tumblr if you prefer.
