his analysis of the indian situation is utterly facile, like everything he tries to talk about

he needs to think more about muh feefees?

2018-04-12 23:21:50 UTC  

dot or feather?

2018-04-12 23:21:51 UTC  

no he needs to stop being an idiot

2018-04-12 23:22:43 UTC  

he needs to examine the specific policy changes that led to the shift we have seen in India's economy since the early 90's and their effects

2018-04-12 23:23:09 UTC  

especially as you could provide strong counterexamples

2018-04-12 23:23:28 UTC  

like with Japan growing rapidly under heavy state intervention and experiencing anemic growth after liberalization

2018-04-12 23:24:29 UTC  

or how in Chile poverty skyrocketed and growth was stagnant during Pinochet's administration and after his laissez faire policies were scaled back by the succession of center left governments that came after Chile started growing and poverty started dropping

2018-04-12 23:25:03 UTC  

or how most Russians are poorer today than they were 20 years ago under socialism

but I'm not Japanese or Chilean

2018-04-12 23:25:38 UTC  

how is "dot or feather?" even remotely offensive?

2018-04-12 23:25:48 UTC  

the specific reasons why India has grown is because of a change in trade policy and loosening of burdensome private sector regulations in an economy reliant on the private sector

they still pursue dirigiste policies to a degree

2018-04-12 23:26:15 UTC

2018-04-12 23:31:04 UTC

jordan peterson is so desperate to paint post-modernism and modern progressivism as being marxist

2018-04-12 23:37:02 UTC  

um, that's because it is

2018-04-12 23:37:16 UTC  

why do you think that

2018-04-12 23:37:20 UTC  

It is quite literally an application of Marxist theory to social structure

2018-04-12 23:37:23 UTC  

is it because of oppressor/oppressed memes

2018-04-12 23:37:37 UTC  

No, it's because of my experience dealing with progressives

2018-04-12 23:38:15 UTC  

what does "application of Marxist theory to social structure" mean

2018-04-12 23:38:51 UTC  

Replace economics with social structure, replace bourgeoisie with white men, replace proletariat with minorities.

2018-04-12 23:40:17 UTC  

you could do the same thing with early liberals who were an influence on marx's class theory
