the dual-pronged attack of MMT and bitcoin/blockchain has made talking to econ-curious leftists so painful

Those are ideologically opposed projects!

MMT is enjoying a renaissance on the young left due in no small part to Bernie's economic advisor being a booster

I don't even know any leftists who like BTC/blockchain. It's ancaps and techno-libertarians all the way down.
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Friday, 2 November 2018 00:50 (seven years ago)
I work ~in this space~ at the moment so it's particularly annoying to me lol
xp hoos- maybe that made an impact, but i think the MMT people actually put a lot of work into making it into a movement. it's actually kind of impressive tbh

This prompts me to recall the time I was watching a friend play a Civ-style game and he asked "how much should I spend on transportation infrastructure" and I said casually 'spend it all, money is fake,' to which he says "whatever you say I do, Robert Mugabe!"
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 2 November 2018 00:53 (seven years ago)
Yeah flops you're right about that--and the advisor I have in mind thinks of herself as one of those people!
xp simon- blockchain has a hold on the left; different circles than MMT but it's there ime

A little obscure maybe, but this parody of Jimmy Dore and like Youtube leftists is a bit like a Chapo opening bit extended to an hour. Some parts very funny.

I checked out after one of Matt's first rants - either the initial Senate results coming in & eliminating any chance of the Dems taking it back, or how our electoral system is broken & dysfunctional, and intentionally so, "a bipartisan effort to suppress the vote," so depressing... then I watched a movie and by the time I tuned back in Dasha had replaced Matt lol
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:22 (seven years ago)
Dasha's not as bad as Anna but that's still a depressing dip
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 November 2018 18:24 (seven years ago)
well she didn't say anything she just wore matt's hat and drank his rum
