@DAcemogluMIT Most importantly, consider how lucky you are as academic to merit a 'hit piece' from @TheEconomist. Did you ever imagine you would be so relevant?
This is the price of relevance. You aren't going to ever 'argue' it away, no matter how brilliant your response.
@DAcemogluMIT I'd encourage you to take some long walks, and pause before sending your response @DAcemogluMIT . Yes it's bitchy - but at its core is a critique of ideas. Some of them are answerable, others are not (after all, there is no 'model' that will ever 'prove' ideas in economics).
@AdarWeinreb Name one 'Western supporter of Palestine' who calls for Jews to be expelled @AdarWeinreb. Just one. Since the belief is so 'widespread', you shouldn't need to pull out someone nobody has ever heard of. This is pure projection.
Νo disrespect - but given what we know about their genetic history, going back over 1,000 years, I'd have expected them to be hotter.
In America - 3 generations of family wealth and your kids look like Kennedys, or Paris Hilton.
What's going on here?
The Ottoman imperial family members who were in exile in Egypt in mid-1940s.

@akdadas@JohnKiriakou And then accidentally carried out an ethnic cleansing. Oops! We know how easily that happens, especially when you have so much practice. You should advise the Israelis on how to do it nice and quick.
@Tenbrooks2@martyrmade I'm Greek. You don't need to convince me that Greek Orthodox liturgy is beautiful. I LOVE it.
My problem is - when I have to pretend I believe it's anything more than something we humans have invented and do, I feel fake.
The threat of radical Islam is real. Hollywood has refused to tell that story for three decades. Now, we’re saying the thing with the biggest, most audacious, funniest and most kickass film Daily Wire has ever released. Here’s the trailer.
@EmpirePodUK So the #EIC spent decades playing kingmaker in every squabble between nawabs to loot the world's richest economy, then used the $$ to pack lackies into the legislature of its military power?
Is that right @DalrympleWill ?
I thought #AIPAC were impressive! #EIC were the #GOAT!
@RonniSalt@jumbarrawa@RealCandaceO - I imagine there'll be few fans of hers on this thread, but if you watch this you'll see how cynically she was slandered, and thus how nationally humiliating, degrading and imasculating before the world was our willingess to just go along.

@RonniSalt@jumbarrawa The #Tiktokumentary is WIP. I am an FS consultant not a content creator, and some episodes need revision (marked OLD). In face of broken national dialogue, it's a lesson about multiculturalism and democracy I wanted my kids to hear. If you know a young person, please pass on
@RonniSalt@jumbarrawa That episode is the one from which the 'Lattouf'' and 'Josh and Maggie Mae Moshe' vignettes drawn, so you can skip those if you watch this.
@LeaOonthePond@RonniSalt@jumbarrawa Yes Peter MacDonald - Melbourne not Sydney. He pioneered 'heart in box' transplant procedure that can work ~1-2 hrs after heart stopped beating. Suspended for offhand comment at a nonwor event that was caught on camera. Total CEO emasculation. Ultimately wasn't fired however.
@DegenerateBoy@RonniSalt@jumbarrawa Self-abasement is a choice. He's not a victim. This is a list of people who have been victims of unfair exercise of power. If we added everyone who was simply compromised and cowed it would be 1m people long.
