That's pretty hypocritical, given how out of touch your comments are.
You post in r/neoliberal, no wonder why you are so salty with PK.
lol
I can't believe you make stupid comments like "sweden has the highest wealth inequality in the world".
Actually, the USA, Mexico, Turkey and Chile are the worst for wealth inequality.
Total nonsense.
The countries with the highest wealth inequality are Russia, Ukraine, Lebanon, the United States, Chile, Greece, Mexico, Israel.
You seem to be propping up such nonsense in order to attempt to sabotage Bernie Sander's support for a more Scandinavian social democracy.
What are you on about? I'm sure your ridiculous claim to some sort of secret knowledge about my paper can all be put to rest once you point out what you think I'm missing.
Wealth inequality is not income inequality. Wealth is about how much net assets are held. Income is about how much income one makes. They are somewhat correlated but less than you you would expect. After all, lots of people have negative net worth due to debt. A poor chinese farmer would be ranked higher than many people because he simply owns effectively nothing, rather than the debt a lot of people have.
I already debunked your nonsense about Denmark having the highest wealth inequality. It comes as no surprise that neoliberals have to always lie and make up information to suit their beliefs.
You can't even read the link you have provided everyone.
Denmark isn't the highest for wealth inequality.
It's much, much lower compared to the USA, Mexico, Chile.
There was an argument a while back where he would make a claim, I'd prove it wrong and then he'd move onto another one. This happened a good solid 20 or so times. His whole style of debate is 'be as disingenuous as possible, never take a tangible position unless absolutely required, never admit you're wrong regardless of how overwhelming the evidence against you is, and never acknowledge the specific evidence brought against you, instead focusing on broad, abstract metaphysics that aren't directly disprovable'.
He sprayed some concentrated autism on me, in other words.
I don't know, all these /r/neoliberal people are basically the same third year econ major tripping over their own dick in their haste to defend sweatshops on the Internet.
third year econ major tripping over their own dick in their haste to defend sweatshops on the Internet.
No kidding, just talked to this dude who told me it's cool to pay Mexicans shit wages because apparently they like doing back breaking labor, and that I should stop "treating them like Americans".
I've taken three showers and I still can't get the smell of cracker off me.
What's interesting is that these same r/neoliberal edgy radical "centrists" will defend Chile's "economic growth", including Pinochet.
Chile has one of the highest levels of wealth inequality.
Way, way up! If it's a measurable statistic than our friends at /r/neoliberal are on it. After all, their intellectual forebears backed the Pinochet regime to the hilt because of all those markets that were freed when the pesky trade unionists and democrats were murdered.
You're unironically a moron. Pinochet-apologism is immediately castigated in /r/neoliberal. Since you haven't read your Acemoglu, since you're unlearned, you don't understand that Pinochet was in charge of a regime that utilized extractive institutions, which neoliberals are decidedly against.
The only way to disagree with the neoliberal belief system is to have an idiotic philosophy (as you do) and/or (usually and) totally ignoring statistics and evidence.
Only after gleeful sweatshop defense and scorning of poor whites dying of opioids. You're unironically an awful person.
Neoliberals are against things like Pinochet but they are happy to take advantage of the results. It's like how you can search for Iraq War and find no results in your sub but you're happy to circlejerk about American peace and security.
You know who else is taking advantage of the results? The millions and millions of people who have been lifted out of abject poverty over the last few decades due to free trade and outsourcing.
We aren't uniformly in favor of sweatshops, but we are capable of comprehending nuance and understanding that some sweatshops are a net gain over the other options, and that you can't immediately turn everybody into a first world country and that these things have to go through stages.
You're so entrenched in your absurd ideology that you scoff at evidence and results so that you can call people "bad people" for actually paying attention to them. You have the mind of a child.
We've discussed the Iraq war in the sub before and the consensus was that it wasn't a good idea. What do you want us to do about it? We don't uniformly bootlick authority, but we don't have the infantile opinion that all world leaders are working in favor of (((the rich bankers))) at the expense of the poor and that every action they take should be rejected for that reason.
what about the millions and millions of people who have been pushed into abject poverty by your shitty ideas?
are you gonna tell people in the rust belt that their suffering is worth it because some Chinese peasants are better off? talk about being "entrenched in an absurd ideology".
what about the millions and millions of people who have been pushed into abject poverty by your shitty ideas?
Show them to me. I provided you the statistic of the world share of people in abject poverty which has plummeted. Do you think this is negated because some people (clearly a tiny minority) shifted the other way? Are you unaware that this is unavoidable?
are you gonna tell people in the rust belt that their suffering is worth it because some Chinese peasants are better off? talk about being "entrenched in an absurd ideology".
I'm going to tell you that the rust belt isn't dead, unemployment isn't that bad there and is getting, for the most part, better, and that the employment has shifted primarily from manufacturing to service, and that evidence shows the main reasons for the fall in manufacturing jobs is UNIONS and an inability to adapt (aka Luddism).
And let's talk about how flippantly you scoff at "some Chinese peasants being better off", when in reality this is MILLIONS of people NOT STARVING.
You, objectively racist in your beliefs, dares to call me an awful person. It beggars belief, but then again, you're an unironic anarchist, so what hope is there of you possibly questioning your own ideology.
Okay. Look at this. Can you deny how many people were lifted out of extreme poverty? If (and this is a strong if) a few million underemployed factory workers were the cost of this, then that is a great tradeoff.
We have to be realistic about what works. Extreme poverty is the worst problem in the world, and there are really two policies that are extremely succesful at solving it. One is free trade, and the other is letting the people migrate to rich countries. We at r/neoliberal want both of these policies for these reasons.
Then why debate. If you want to ignore the fact that a billion people have risen out of extreme poverty in the last 20 years you can. It just is obnoxious at best to do so while loudly opposing it, and then ignoring evidence when someone points it out to you.
Do you not realize you're in /r/drama? I like debating with the regulars but this constant flood of brigading idiots that occurs whenever anyone burns a /r/neoliberal regular reminds me of what happens when you insult a Trump supporter
Why not answer the answer the question rather than evade?
When you ask for evidence, then someone provides evidence, and then you say "All y'all are dumb for debating me, I ain't gonna read that lol", it is annoying behaviour.
You guys are like the KiA sealions. Obsessed with people debating you and "showing their model" and stupid shit like that. Has it ever occurred to you that people don't owe you a conversation?
You people spend hours a day obsessively seeking out people who don't share your delusions, spam them with the same old bullshit and then get mad when they tell you to fuck off. You're gamergaters for capitalism.
Literally any time I ever get in a conversation with any of you people you link it to /r/neoliberal and a bunch of annoying dorks show up. Calling in a brigade every time you comment is so tiresome.
I used to work with immigrant day laborers. Most of them were Salvadorans who had to flee their country because a civil war, which America had a major hand in, utterly shattered that country. So these people sleep on the streets here instead of getting brutally murdered by the gangs we left there. My job was to help the workers file wage theft complaints. These guys would work 10 hour days 7 days a week, and then their employers would short them, threaten to deport them, or just disappear overnight. Rarely did we win a claim.
But to this dixiecrat honky it's just happy sombrero people who are happy to pick vegetables for us and ride their pickups back to Tijuana by nightfall. These "neoliberals" live in a fantasy world, and the worst part is they think they're the most enlightened and progressive people ever to grace the internet, that if you're not down with this you must be some idiot racist.
They can all go fuck themselves. Most of them have never even paid taxes yet, and they're taking third year statistics classes (one of the mods threw a tantrum and banned me when I pointed that out) while talking shit about poor people dying of opioids and how their models prove they know everything about the world. Completely ignorant assholes.
Wait I'm confused, is this a far left subreddit, far right, or is this the new racist left I've been hearing about? Regardless you are probably some obese ugly mother fucker.
It feels good man. Part of the perks for being a Soros shill is a $2000 stipend every month to go fuck poor college girls on seeking arrangement. It's almost as good as buying clothes from sweatshops.
