North Carolina citizens are victims of Hanlon’s Razor, or critical economic theory

Occasionally this site has had a critical look at the expression known as Hanlon’s Razor, without knowing it was called Hanlon’s Razor. The expression goes: Never assume malice whne incompetence can explain the results”. We just knew it was bullshit. In fact, it is a classically dialectic approach for negating obvious malice in such a way that we fail to investigate it for what it really is. In fact, we think it is the reverse. Never assume incompetence when malice is more consistent with the results.

Let’s add to that what is becoming increasingly obvious about government spending. It has sweet bugger all to do with taxes. Taxation increasingly appears to be a way to control the middle class as the wealthy really don’t pay much from what we see and the poor pay nothing. In fact, taxes appear to have two purposes, neither of which is funding public works. Punishing the middle class, and enslaving them through never allowing them to retain enough money to be free of the system unless they are leftists. Then of course, well you know the rest.

How these two ideas tie together is easier than it should be.

Governments in North America never have the money to do anything constructive cause tax money ran out, but they have infinite money to do things which are destructive. Let’s see how that applies to the recent victims of the hurricane in NC:

Feds say there’s no money left to respond to hurricanes — after FEMA spent $1.4B on migrants

You know what? I could stop here. The headline says it all. But let’s flesh it out a little as it gets more interesting when yuou see that it appears the federal government is actively criminalizing citizens who try and help the stranded and destitute in NC:

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “does not have the funds” to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season — after the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina.

“We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” he added. “We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what — what is imminent.”

Anyone who sits down to do the books on this really doesn’t get it. Money is invented for destructive things. Money is withheld for things that make anything better. There is no better definition of dialectics. Let’s call this Dialectical economics and add it to the post from the other day.

Frankly, there are just too many of these to ignore them altogether:

Instagram guy makes really serious claims about the state of NC. No way to verify.

Some of his claims I have seen made independently though.

Another Instagram from a gentleman who claims to be a member of the Florida State Guard recovery unit. He explains what is going on quite clearly.

Same video on Twitter:

There is a lot lot more out there. But I think this enough to fortify the theory. Hanlon’s razor is backwards, and the explanation for US government policy over the last years since Obama was first elected, excluding 2016 to 2020 can be explained by Critical economic theory and the proper examination of Hanlon as a dialectic device.

As an aside, this is a constant in Canada and across Western Europe as well.
