FINKELSTEIN METHOD

Years ago I came across this article that laid out the Finkelstein Method of negative campaigning used globally by cons and libertarians.

The article is convoluted so I made a few slides to capture the main points.

@EddieSheerr Is there a critical water temperature necessary for this ? How do they ‘work’?

Morning from Ukraine!

The night was with missiles. russia launched an overnight attack across Ukraine. Ukrainian Air Force destroyed 12 missiles and 31 drones. 2 Kinzhal missiles were not downed, unfortunately.
Explosions were heard in some oblasts but not in Kyiv.

As for yesterday's awful attack on the Kharkiv hypermarket, the death toll has risen to 12 💔.

I am having a #warcoffee and absolutely no mood. Today is Kyiv Day. Please don't ask me what you can do to show your support on this day. I won't start any special hashtag or visit some interesting place. I am going to write my Sunday Letter and mourn those whom russia kills every day.

It was a hard day in Ukraine.
Again.
As of now, at least 6 people were killed and 40 injured in a russian strike on the Kharkiv hypermarket.
💔
And I am reading that, according to preliminary information, a few TU-95ms were launched from russia. That almost always meant a massive missile attack.

putin has a peace plan? Let's call this plan by its real name: death plan.

Freedom, but not you.
Protest, but not that.
Free market, except there.
Taxation, except me.
Law and order, except for them.
Medicine, but not that kind.

Modern conservatism is the epitome of hypocrisy.

126 years ago today the most stylish painter in history was born.

She was called Tamara de Lempicka and everything about her life and art embodied the spirit of the 1920s.

If you like Art Deco, you'll love Tamara de Lempicka...

Every day - flooded with witness to genocide - I make myself watch them - to honor the dead - and stay enraged to seek justice for them

Capitalism vs communism - what a bunch of horseshit.

Communism never worked.

The reason is not philosophical, nor moral, nor malicious.

It’s mechanical. Committees make bad decisions, then stick with them.

The hubris of trying to make all decisions for everyone left the Soviets starving. It was only through the proliferation of black markets that the USSR stayed functioning. (see Olson)

You can still see this today in China, where many of state businesses are continually losing money, but stay open regardless.

Capitalism doesn’t have these problems, because it distributes decision making to all the market participants. They are free to try other solutions, even contrary decisions, and then either adapt to reality or go out of business.

Markets are very good at distribution and logistics, hedging and contingencies, innovation and progress.

But they totally suck at fairly dispersing the resulting profits and don’t do morals, at all.

All of which we have recognized and solved before.

Utilities are regulated, because they are natural inclined to become monopolies.

People complain about “communism”, but don’t recognize state ownership of crown corporations, public health systems, and the military as being exactly the “ownership of the means of production” that Marx envisioned.

We have many sectors that are either government owned or highly regulated, and always will have.

Thinking that any modern economy is going to be entirely free market or entirely state directed and still function is moronic.

Let us instead ask what markets work, and which ones don’t, and protect consumers from the clutches of the latter.
