Embarrassing. Reeves has a masters from LSE and so she must know that, even in terms of mainstream economics, this is drivel. Notice it is not challenged.

But it serves a purpose: it justifies the doom loop. And the doom loop means finance always wins even if the rest of us lose

This post is problematic for a number of reasons.

A thread…🧵

1. For those attempting to make sense of Trump’s victory and the rise of the far-right across Europe - look no further than the PMs statement below.

Whether you like it or not, the far-right has a set of common narratives. We can probably all recite them…

[Guy Shrubsole @guyshrubsole]

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own.

Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest?... 1/

Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.

[Musa al-Gharbi @Musa_alGharbi]

For Symbolic Capital(ism), I just published a piece pulling together lots of empirical data to answer questions like:

Did Trump win because of racism?
Did Trump win because of sexism?
Did Trump win because "elites" bought the election?
Did Trump win because of third-party "spoilers"?
Did Trump win because of weak turnout?
Did Trump win because Harris chose the wrong running mate?

As the essay details at length, the answer to all of these questions is "no." It's easy to see how people would be drawn to these questions, but none of these hypotheses do a good job of explaining what actually happened in 2024 (or the previous Trump cycles, for that matter). 🧵

[Johanna Ray Vollhardt (jrvollhardt.bsky.social) @JoRayVo]

Germany's new "Resolution against Antisemitism" is a self-serving joke: full of contradictions, abusing Holocaust memory to legitimize repression, racism, xenophobia, geopolitical interests, undermine Jewish pluralism & harm Jews it claims to serve. https://t.co/3Rcqhd983L 🧵(1/)
