@economics-that-works Theory of moral sentiments. This is Adam Smith’s lesser known work. It opens with passages on the intrinsic human sensibility of sympathy and compassion and sensitivity to others, suffering or joys. As a historical note: empathy was coined (1930s ish) and its original […]

If everyone bought themselves a dark baseball cap, dark sunglasses, a face wrap, flannel top and jeans.. basically ICE dress code.. I think it would be very interesting in a March.. this would have to be a range report because you would need a fair amount of brave migrant individuals to be […]

3 min It’s probably too much to ask that people who put their faith in the Republican Party will dust off their critical faculties and begin to realize that the party of the most ruthless psycho psychopath imaginable has any respect for the truth. And if it walks like a Nazi talks like a Nazi […]

@cryptadamist So I’m trying to map out in my brain just how a company’s like Walmart and Amazon would make use of a so-called stable coin. The most obvious avenue is that they’re essentially like gift cards. People put money on them. In this case I would buy some lump of stable for whatever […]

With shit falling apart globally, Sooo many people post things saying essentially "X will undermine the rule of law and the very concept of states!" And as an Anarchist I can tell you "I wish".

@economics-that-works This is the assignment. When I or anyone else rail against broligarchy, we are talking about the very people who hold positions of power within the federal government, and they are working on the infrastructure of our subjugation. This is an ongoing process. It is […]

Can we just cut the chase now and start pushing back and putting the far right on its heels by telling them that they are murderous terrorist thugs? And keep challenging on them on it? Why are all their promises lies? And why are all their accusations a confession?
