Venezolano 🇻🇪. Public policy and econ. Leftist. Don't worry, we're both less interesting than we think... So at least we've got that in common.

@Alex_Flinn @GermaineRubens @katrinagulliver @christress I'd be surprised if this couple runs up debt like this but they share a car. $35K in car loans for a couple is the least bonkers part of all this.

@TheWhatNow8 @arthurbillda @Austen by what metric does gold maintain pp?

@Obi_Obi_Chukwu @LIHpics You're in for a surprise if you ever learn what Reagan thought of black people. And even more so black people w guns.

Christmas has arrived again. Our war on it has failed once more. Next year, fellow liberals! NEXT YEAR!!!

@OmniPOTUSCaesar @OMG_PONIES @Pauliuskase @MaxwellFrostFL ...right. Did you entirely miss his point? About power being reserved for the wealthy? "Be wealthy or be willing to destroy yourself financially" aren't good criteria for elected office.

@promisenakpan @Jason @aoscott I don't know what game you're playing sir, but you can't just say "you're right" on Twitter. I'm pretty sure that's against the rules and it'll get you banned. Now I'm off to rethink everything I thought I knew about the internet and humanity.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@promisenakpan @Jason @aoscott "I've seen almost all movies, but know none of this top 10 list so you're wrong" is a study in irony and self delusion.
Is it a possibility (obviously unlikely) that the movie critic saw more movies than you and that you're not as informed as you believe?

@yasmeenaraviles @Jason @aoscott Spoiler alert: It's on there in other timelines. But also not on there in infinite other timelines. And none of it matters so we might as well all kill ourselves.

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Wish I could keep expressing my agreement all day as you walk in totally valid and morally upright circles, but I got other stuff to do. If you want you can just re-read my responses, since there's nothing in yours that contradicts them. So it's like I'm still responding.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest I'm sure this proves us right about the fact than anyone who criticizes Chapelle's treatment of trans people needs to be shut down. Gotta stand up for Dave, but more importantly we need to show that we don't agree with some trans people's tactics and so they deserve no support.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest You sounds so smart. I already agreed with everything you said, but if I didn't I'd know how right you are because of how smart your big words are. Amazing how necessary they are, and not at all a transparent and weak tactic.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest This is amazing. Add it to the list of perfect agreement. It's definitely a fallacy and not actually something that's been used and accepted by philosophers and mathematicians for millennia. And is also a synonym for satire and irony. Same thing. Same page.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Exactly. They're so sensitive. We're not attacking them. Just their ideas and actions. And they gotta stop policing language. They're children. With all the power. And people who defend them should be called out. Also, learn to build coalitions and grow up and stop antagonizing.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Yup! And so they should be attacked. Just be quiet, put your head down and do the work. Maybe trans people should've thought of being part of the fight from the beginning. There's no shortcuts, you gotta earn it.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Exactly! You can't achieve progress if there's so much tension. Even if I agree with your goal, I need to agree with your methods. You can't just impose what you think. You need to take your time and earn your rights the right way.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Exactly. They have all the power and are backed by everyone powerful but are also alienating so many people and so will harm everyone's properly earned rights, which have real support.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Of course not! They're the ones attacking, like you said from the beginning. It's why I counter any defense of gay people by anyone, gotta shut it down and point out they're not behaving how I want.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest I know, just learn to be civil and have reasonable disagreements. That's why I attack entire powerful groups like gay people when any act in ways I dislike. 100% of you need to toe the line, do things the right way or none of you deserve help or rights! W civil disagreements.

[Pedro Pablo Aguilar @PedroPabloAE]

@ec0anarch0 @RelentlessDog @CornelWest Yeah, like I said they're the ones with all the power, backed by academia, government, moneyed elites, and the corporate world. That's why heroes like you and I attack them when it's not actually relevant.
