Chinese people also lived under much worse conditions, including a century of humiliation and two Japanese invasions. USians aren’t yet living under deprivations anything like early 20th century Russians, Chinese, Cubans, Koreans, or Vietnamese.
It’s only a dumb game for the people left holding the bag when the music stops, and that won’t be people like Sam Altman or early investors who’ve already cashed out.
If Harris wins, the Democratic base will continue to sleep. You can do anything when the Dems are in the WH. It was under Trump that protesters shut down airport terminals, but under Biden the base sleeps regarding immigration & asylum. That’s what Glenn Greenwald and I learned from the GWB to Obama transition: the Dems sleep when their team is in office. Greenwald “changed” from hero to villain without changing the least bit; the only difference was who was in office. Unlike the Dem-aligned media, he didn’t go to sleep.
You can war as much as you want. You can run a fucking star chamber. You can stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.
If Harris is the harm reduction candidate, who for?
Another thing that gives fiat money value (at least domestically) is that the state will only accept tax payments in its own currency. Those taxes, which remove money from circulation, also moderate inflation. The sovereign’s debt is the money in the economy[^1], which is why it’s in no one’s interest for the sovereign to pay off its debt.
[^1]: There’s also money created by private banks, with permission from the sovereign, by writing loans.
I think some of the MoG power posters know that it’s bullshit and are doing it anyway. Maybe they’ve convinced themselves that they’re counter-balancing “tankie lies.”
Posting about MoG is cheating tho. It’s nothing but scratched liberals because any other point of view gets removed and permabanned. Your troll account would last ten seconds.
S4A is a social chauvinist. He doesn’t believe in AES states. https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Social-imperialism
