Yikes
These are the people we're fighting against, ladies and gents.
Shucks
this a better place to ask, but you guys reckon this is like our "free market" go-to system to pull in some normies?
I remember Emperor Nick saying that we kinda need a book list a long time ago like the Libertarians have for Mises and Friedman and shit like that.
macroeconomics will never interest normies
literally no normie would understand this
Are we normies?
Anyone with over 110 IQ can understand it tho
we're not, just saying normies wouldn't
Yeah, I know
Well
It's not that hard to understand
They'd just have read it carefully
you overestimate the average normie
Weird. Cause I can't understand, but I have 150 iq
(can you understand it)
<:sheeeit:786313493312831508> sarcasm you nigger
Yeah I get you, but surely there are things we can quote, facts we can extract to make points contrary to the free market crap
On an interesting note though, guess which president ended the National protectionist system? Wilson. Global liberal interventionism is still called Wilsonianism by some and another name for Neoconservatism is Straussian wilsonianism.
The financial class, spearheaded by one particular group, always had a gripe against the two "holy" empires in Europe, Austria and Russia, cause they tended to come to America after getting expelled from Eastern Europe. Plus, Capital always benefits from eroding tradition. Seperate church from state and balkanise the countries, people automatically move from traditional identities to consumer ones.
well as much as it would be nice in an ideal world, mercantilism is literally impossible for the US as world hegemon
you can do it as a secondary power
or maybe in a multipolar world
but if America seriously abandoned their monetary and trade policy tomorrow, the whole world economy would go under pretty fucking quick
Yeah that's an issue we gotta address for those intellectuals amongst us. A proper protectionist policy would be great for the Midwest, it would revitalise it. But yeah, we can't just say fuck the rest of the world
Mainly because Wilson's justification was that if an Eurasian land power became too big, they would inevitably come for America.
Which is fair enough. I think we can implement protectionism through tactical retreat, keep Europe, India, Japan and South America in the hegemony, create a federated economic system, like German benefits from the EU currently. But the get the fuck out of the Middle East and leave some difficult areas for the boa constrictors(China and Russia) to swallow.
It aint gonna be clean like that
once the world goes multipolar, America is going to have everyone gunning for them
only nations the US is going to be able to depend on is mexico, canada, australia and japan
not that I like war, but its going to be pretty interesting - all of the bottled-up tensions from the last 80 years of "peace" are going to be unleashed
its going to be chaos, but it will be the good kind of chaos, where things are put where they belong
also russia is going to sweep into eastern europe as soon as shit pops off - mark my words
