There's a (very gross and crass) old college humor video specifically about this style of argument, and specifically involving poop.

Don't worry, they are tariff-free :-)

Defenders aren't using factual arguments only smearing and "hope". Critics have many factual arguments.

stephen-fine.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also, insane to expect some rando on an app will write a thread to convince you when if you’re interested it’s obviously an issue that a lot of ink has been spilled.

thatianeliott.bsky.social•5 days ago

Imagine pointing at the chaos and disruption of the past week and claiming no one is making compelling arguments against it.

countdeathtoll.bsky.social•5 days ago

PE-G just likes the smell of smeared feces.

rozorosso.bsky.social•5 days ago

(very intelligently) hmm yes in fact I DO believe whatever anyone tells me as long as they'll be my friend

merz.bsky.social•5 days ago

Who the fuck is he? Never mind. I don’t give a fuck.

samonek.bsky.social•5 days ago

It seems like there's a never ending supply of These Guys who normies have never heard of but have big followings and bad takes.

merz.bsky.social•5 days ago

I figured

wildgorillaman.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's a funny analogy because I remember when PEG was mostly-sane

Then he went batshit. Could be toxoplasmosis or something

travisatkins.bsky.social•4 days ago

tbh he’s giving recently divorced Gen X guy vibes

green496.bsky.social•5 days ago

The argument for international trade is simple: more stuff for less money. That’s it. And PEG simply refuses to engage with it because he doesn’t have a counter argument.

green496.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bonus points for the argument that trying to unwind existing trade agreements could also trigger financial collapses in random sectors of the economy.

"basically" doing a herculean lift here

The market is looking for a reduction to only 55% poop saturation on the walls before it regains confidence in Trump's economic leadership.

naming your baby pascal-emmanuel is kinda crazy

marbleliberal.bsky.social•4 days ago

You should see what my parents named me

rusty-nail.bsky.social•4 days ago

Whats even more crazy is googling how these profile pictures shitgibbons looks like from the front

policyg.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't think the BlueSky servers can handle a Derek/Medlock interaction - tread lightly!

boomies-n-zoomies.bsky.social•4 days ago

I mean, given how that guy acts I suspect naming decisions are the least of his parents sins.

Not if you want your baby to grow up to be a world-class dipshit.

I feel like no one got why you said that but you still got 200 likes

rolodexpropaganda.bsky.social•4 days ago

The thing I hate most about this guy is how hard he tries to sound intellectual while being really fucking stupid. What’s so complicated about “tariffs raise prices for consumers”? Seems like a pretty good argument to me…

ankylodad.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ah yes, the eternal wisdom of the contrarian mind.

kiymon.bsky.social•5 days ago

So like, if someone reacted emotionally to the Holocaust, does that mean the people against the Holocaust were wrong simply because they're emotional about millions of deaths of humans?

danielwbrody.bsky.social•5 days ago

You can tell Trump is confident in his worldview because he never resorts to “screeching assertions and toddler tantrums”

“Poop icky” is a perfectly valid argument here.

alwaysadorecats.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t need to make a three-part video essay to explain to chuds that poop is icky and I don’t want it on my walls.

thecraftybear.bsky.social•5 days ago

Funny how they didn't mind as long as it wasn't *their* walls

caderoux.bsky.social•5 days ago

Another disingenuous bozo to add to the pile of them. I assume he mostly lives in a substack underneath the marketplace of ideas?

werrrp.bsky.social•5 days ago

*hunting for unopened cans of food in rubble during nuclear winter* I sure hope a lib is being owned somewhere right now

smhten.bsky.social•5 days ago

This guy thinks I need to have a good argument in the face of my 401(k) being destroyed? That is the argument! PEG is just a dumbass who thinks he fucken Aquinas.

rolfingsimichigan.com•4 days ago

Wow he makes such a good point. Can't believe no credible economists have given any arguments whatsoever against a trade war.

jasonjdelaney.bsky.social•4 days ago

Also I did!

"Advocates of gravity have screeched and hollered but have done nothing to disprove the four Aristotelian elements."

What part of "it's a tax; you're putting a vexatious duty on imports that limits gross supplies, raises prices, and risks retaliation" does he feel is insufficient?

ericjmorey.com•5 days ago

How does that make him leas scared of "the others"?

headasploding.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is there any reason to take this person seriously? Seems like a random clout chasing account that has to stay the course to keep his audience.

I want this guy and chatterton to enter a room to debate each other and then we quietly brick up the door, they wouldn't even notice, they'd only realize when all the oxygen has been replaced by their farts

noamchompers.bsky.social•5 days ago

it's also funny because anyone with even a passing familiarity with the underlying issues would have substantially more stable priors than tripling their confidence on the basis of posts they saw in the last three days

"I believe something idiotic because I do not respect the people who have pointed out it's idiotic."

Seriously if any one of those guys he had a crush on growing up had just kissed him... even just once... the world would never have known about him.
