ELI ON RESPONDING TO GODWIN’S LAW
—“Hitler was a vegetarian, an environmentalist, and he wore pants. Do you want to repudiate those positions/behaviors too, or do you want to debate the issues?”—Eli Harman.

PICKETTY’S ARGUMENT?
Um, here is what he’s saying: “There is this game of cups and balls. The economy moves the cups. The ball is missing, and this cup is my logical suspect”.
Sorry man. Its under the cup called ‘inflation’.

MY VIEW OF MAN?
My view of mankind? Mostly? Excited children running with scissors – with a precious few elder historians trying their best to prevent the worst of the injuries.

THE ONLY THINGS THAT MELT IN THIS POT, ARE RULE OF LAW, HIGH TRUST, THE COMMONS, AND THE VOLUNTARISM OF THE CIVIC SOCIETY
—-“For along with strange people, strange doctrines must come in; and novel doctrines bring novel decisions, from which there must arise many feelings and resolutions which destroy the harmony of the existing political order. Therefore he thought it more necessary to keep bad manners and customs from invading and filling the city than it was to keep out infectious diseases.”—Plutarch

[W]ell, the Nobel Prize is awarded for POLITICAL ACTIVISM, not for content. Is her work worthy of a Nobel? Not likely. Is Solzhenitzyn? Maybe. The only Nobel prizes that are not rewarded on the basis of political progressivism are the hard (physical) sciences. The nobel prize is a vehicle for promoting european social democracy. So in this sense, the Nobel prize given to this woman is equivalent to the Russian sponsorship of the Frankfurt School, The Ron Paul Institute, Global Research in Canada, and Russian funding of Muslim terrorists in Europe and America. I have gained enough (limited) understanding of Russian economics and infrastructure to grasp why Putin does what he does. The only problem I have with what he does is (a) expanding Russian influence into eastern Europe, and (b) that they lie about what they’re doing. The reason is that both American experiment has failed, and the Russian experiment has failed. And we both need to contain the barbarians and get our own houses in order, and punish troublemakers rather than try to expand our influence.

Venting would require only expression of your emotion not insult others morality. Ergo, Postmodern shaming and rallying.
