So I saw a post on X yesterday that got me thinking.

Here's part of it:

Leftists have a hunter-gatherer mentality.

Hunter-gatherers don't create the things they consume. They find them, they capture them, and they divide them up amongst the tribe.

This is how leftists look at value in the modern economy. Some store of value exists, they see it, they focus on capturing it, then dividing up amongst their constituents, according to whatever they mean at the moment by this nebulous word "fair".

But that isn't how value works in modern society, and hasn't been since the Agricultural Revolution ended the Paleolithic Era.

This is why rightists approach the economy with a herdsman-farmer mentality.

Herdsmen and farmers do work to create the things they consume. They have breeding stock, and seeds, and they must take care of them, invest in them, so that they can grow.

This is how rightists look at value in the modern economy. Some store of value exists because someone created and grew it, therefore they control it. If it is left in their hands, it will continue to make more value, some of which will reach others in exchange for their work.

The left's failure with white men is not about messaging at all. The messaging is just a side effect. The left's failure with white men is fundamental to its hunter-gatherer mentality.

You see, white men are the only net taxpayers.

He's painting with a fairly wide brush when he says "white men are the only net taxpayers." but he's pretty much right.

And the whole Multiculturalism and "white supremacy", etc. stuff that the Left has been pushing on the culture for a long time now goes into the real goal of the Left/Hunter-Gatherers:

Demonize the people who produce so the Left can justify stealing their stuff because we are incapable of producing anything.

Leftists have a hunter-gatherer mentality.

It would make sense for them to have that mentality if herding/farming didn't exist, but since it does, they're just being barbarians.

Demonize the people who produce so the Left can justify stealing their stuff because we are incapable of producing anything.

That's a realistic analogy. Not all humans evolved the same way. As strange as it may sound, there are people who seem to have survived hundreds of generations with caveman mentality. They don't think for themselves, they are impulsive, and they think that they should have what others have just because they can see what we have.

We need physical division representative to our political division; we need the free thinkers to band together in the southeastern states to do the farmwork, and the hunter-gatherers to band together in the northern states to hunt all the wild animals to extinction.
