It didn't help that we moved our nuclear arsenal from Turkey to Romania, but the prick in charge over there really left us no choice. We had to move them someplace or risk his country taking the bases over.
watching this guy right now, very interesting piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wln6lNTxVpY
↑ Uncommon Knowledge: Thomas Sowell on the Vulgar Pride of Intellectuals
Good choice.
Lest we forget he's one of the original uncle Thoms
😄
I'd love to hear him on AOC.
Socrates was one of the first to talk about those who spoke on issues they knew nothing about.
After 2000 years, they still don't understand this.
hmm. that just makes him look like another man with a broom trying to clean up at least a bit of the intellectual garbage out there.
As are we all.
which just reminded me rather briskly to what the internet really is.
as in, quite the landfill.
The trash heap of good ideas
Eww more slowmode
Shit its also.slow.mode
Vc general @Existence is identity
Thomas Sowell
isn't he the guy who wrote the book on basic economics
He wrote many books
I love him
There was some video of him on an old TV show facing of with a feminist and it was so beautiful
Hazlitt's economics in one lesson > Sowell's basic bitch commie economics.
I like that he's able to explain the issues in the black community bluntly without being immediately labeled a racist
"basic bitch commie economics" do you know who Thomas Sowell is
he is the furthest you could get from a commie
Thomas Sowell actually started out as a commie.
Check out Walter E Williams. He's good on the black question.
Well if he started out as a commie he clearly isn't one anymore
Most economists do. That's why the undergrad AOC is so socialist.
Sowell ended up a cicago school commie. He's just not an explicit Marxist anymore.

You really want to try and understand the complexities of our economics today, do some research on the end of WWII with special reverence to everything that happened starting with FDR, and his One World principles, leading into the rebuilding of Europe via several economic packages, and the Marshall Plan. That continues into the development of the European Union. All of this happened as a response to the Soviet buildup in Europe.
