Neoclassical economics thrives on persuasion, group identity, and excluding those who don't speak its language. Brilliant at building puzzles detached from reality, it mistakes formal sophistication for knowledge. Ultimately, it serves capital, not the people.

Oh look, the global capital of social housing has the highest quality of life for the lowest cost

It’s just beyond belief the size, scale, and audacity of the giant far-right drug cartel that Narco Rubio has been steadily building across the breadth of Latin America

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

@aglouares ...they even publicly admitted that the goal was to weaken Russia and fragment it, as they did with Yugoslavia. From Russia’s perspective, this is clearly an existential war. Ukraine, on the other hand, is fighting to preserve a corrupt regime dependent on Western support.

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

@aglouares That's not a serious argument. The US and NATO provoked this war. They rejected diplomacy, admitted misleading Russia over the Minsk accords to gain time, undermined the Istanbul peace talks, destroyed the Nord Stream...

[Dirk Ehnts @DEhnts]

Funny how the same people that said MMT cannot be applied or should not be applied now say that it actually has been applied and that the results are horrible.

So, which governments were advised by MMT economists? Name just one. (And no, QE and deficit spending have nothing to do with MMT. MMT argues mostly against QE because it does not do much and it says that deficit spending does not exist because all government spending is money creation.)

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

In this dangerous moment for Ukraine, it’s worth remembering what Vladimir Putin said years ago about NATO’s role in the proxy war:

“There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives.”

My bad, it was actually a different president who said that — Volodymyr Zelensky, March 2022:

Kasparov is the best evidence that one can be both retarded and Chess grandmaster.

1. US starts war in Ukraine.
2. US tells EU to ban Russian energy.
3. US breaks all other energy supply chains.
4. US tells EU to buy energy at inflated price from US.
5. US gets that energy cheap from Russia to sell to EU at huge profit.

That's literally what has happened.

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

@aglouares Of course not, that is just pathetic.

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

@aglouares Considering Russia a genocidal state is just nonsense.

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

É importante não esquecer que Kamala Harris tinha sido vice de Biden numa administração que apoiou incondicionalmente o genocídio cometido por Israel em Gaza. Não vamos agora começar a branquear a história.

[Alexandra Leitão @Alexandrarfl]

Quem na Europa prefere Bolsonaro a Lula terá a mesma lição daqueles que em 2024 não sabiam quem escolher entre Trump e Kamala Harris.

@lingerence The guy is obnoxious and he is giving an interview to a zionist media company. Israel has dropped about 220,000 tons of explosives on Gaza, the equivalent to almost 13 Hiroshima bombs. Also, several studies point to a much larger number of civilian deaths in Gaza.

[Renzo™ @fwrenzo1]

Every billionaire "started in a garage" story conveniently leaves out the parental loans, elite university connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom was on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is aesthetics. The capital is inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.

[Marta Havryshko @HavryshkoMarta]

Just a friendly reminder that it's the HUR and SBU carrying out terrorist attacks and assassination attempts on the soil of their own Western partners.
Funded by those very same partners, no less.
Isn't that just adorable?☺️

[American Exception @Aaron_Good_]

I have said something like this for a while--China's regime is functionally far more democratic than that of the US. The Chinese state demonstrably serves the interests of the national majority far better than does the American state. There's no contest.

[J. J. Seabra @inthewoodsvoid]

What an absolute imbecile.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

French President Macron:

I ask you not to give in to the prevailing pessimism that is returning, to that spirit of defeat our country has experienced so many times throughout its history.

It is the spirit of 1870, of 1940, of so many moments in our economic history when people say, "We're finished. We look at others and say we're finished for this or that reason."

A Colômbia tem soberania monetária, é claro que tem dinheiro para pagar pensões. Trata-se apenas de uma desculpa esfarrapada para justificar uma opção ideológica muito clara.

[Malamente® @MalaMalamente]

Dos meses de gobierno de ultraderecha derecha en Colombia y no tienen dinero para pagar las pensiones.
Votad a PP y VOX, votad.
