@ShadowJonathan fascists also loves these ideas, they are very used to twisting their interpretation to call some less then humans. The motivation for empire is built on ideas like competitive advantage, and (un)equal exchange. As a result of value being built on Fiat (belief) they can simply define some peoples labour, and resources as less valuable.

@ShadowJonathan The international financial community, The world bank, IMF, G7, and IBS, has all moved passed these outdated ideas. Some notebale holdouts are The UK (until labour took over), and Russia. Other then that it's mostly soggy old professors that setup their teaching plan in the 80's.

@ShadowJonathan sorry to say it, but it seems like our mutual friend @Patricia is trapped in an outdated idea about economics, kept alive by Russian propaganda. Everything changed after the 2008 financial crisis, when the last holdouts of neoliberalism was discredited.

@karolherbst A Recommendation

Ryan McBeth @ YouTube has done excellent things about russian propaganda.

@karolherbst people can't afford food, they aren't doing well.

Russian propaganda is designed to look organic, don't be fooled.

@ShadowJonathan @Patricia I treat it as an fascist dog whistle, it's useful to call poor people "unrational" if you want to dehumanise them.

@karolherbst I have responded otherwise in this thread that in my opinion it's mostly down to Russian propaganda. It's in Russian intresset to keep neoliberalism alive.

@Patricia
This is what the war in Ukraine is about, Russia is one of the last holdouts concerning neoliberal ideals. The the war is Democracy (The west) vs. Neoliberalism (Russia), and neoliberalism is losing.

Russia is very good at propaganda and has done everything in their power to keep neoliberal ideas alive, because they believe they will destroy the west. Witch is true neoliberal ideas if genuinely believed will destroy everything, including Russia.

@Patricia Economics as you know it is. After the 2008 financial crisis actors like The World Bank, IMF, and IBS riped up the textbooks and started anew. Thats why I was malding so hard the other day when you were talking shit about the IMF, they have completely change their tune since the incidents you recalled.

@Patricia some pointers, Behavioural Economics disputes the idea of "rational actors", Morden Monetary Theory disputes the rational for austerity, and the 2008 financial crisis was the last straw for neoliberalism.

@Patricia economics is moving very fast, if anyone is referring to something from the 20th century without a lot of caveat they don't know what they are talking about.

@GossiTheDog I think it's trying to suggest that you can burn calories simple by trying to use copilot. Therefore suggest it has a use.

@futurebird the internet was invented in 60s, but old is a relative term. The telegraph, a technology with much in common with the Internet, was invented in the 19th century. Standardised clocks require global instant communication technology, something we have had for long enough to define large part of our reality.

@matthew_d_green honestly finding a good editor is probably more important. Most editors on YouTube has some experience doing thumbnails as well.
