   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.    
      
   The full post:

   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.
