Disagree forever after his comments on LePen & Ukraine. I'm a simple person. If you like him I don't like you.

The Nixon Shock brought us the financializaton and globalization that we spent decades protesting against, and now that 2008 proved it’s not really stable, we’re going to replace it with something even worse, the Trump shock and an economy built on … crypto??? I must be missing something here.

Varoufakis was just saying Free Marine LePen. He's been calling for Ukraine to surrender for ages. Naomi, he is NOT on our side, he's from Döppelgangland

Pass.

seems to be a loose-loose game, with the US betting to loose less.

I used to respect him but his recent opinion pieces on the supposed “lawfare” deployed against Marine Le Pen were awful

Ugh. I’m having trouble finding links to articles in English. Do you have any handy?

Here. It makes me angry having another look at this. Also just found out he appeared next to Glenn Greenwald in a recent interview. Yuck.

Thank you!

Yeah, I saw that while I was searching. Wtf?

The fact he's writing for Unherd is also a warning bell. Lots of signs he's gone off in quite an odd direction. Genuinely surprised that Naomi is promoting him right now

julesjimmlt.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly. This seems to be precisely the type of weird doppelgängering of the left discourse that she described in her book. If he’s now with Greenwald and UnHerd he might be with Bannon tomorrow
