Probably just whoman nature or something.
mfs will imagine up shit like “K-shaped economy” before doing any sort of class analysis
huh the rich are getting richer but the poor are getting poorer what a historical anomaly that r > g if only someone would write a book about this
the unprecedented part is that unemployment is low, but they cannot fathom why are people getting poorer and the wages are not rising. destroying unions and deskilling people from high productivity professions in manufacturing to low productivity professions like delivery driver and coffee shop barista (or just services in general) does not seem to register for them at all.
It’s like there’s this weird shape in the area of the rich graph that can fit the area of the poor graph 🤔🤔
make it make sense
this phrase irks me so fucking badly. what a fecklessly liberal thing to say.
The revolutionary optimistic way to look at it is as a genuine question that we can answer
If a lib asks, we answer and maybe we make a new comrade
“make it make sense in a way that doesn’t trigger a defense reaction from my ideology”
If genuinely trying to do this seriously tho, the best approach is usually a dialectical one, you do your best to account for both their ideology and material conditions to figure out if they have the right incentives to be a comrade or not and then if they are make a good faith effort to meet them where they are to radicalize best you can.
If they’re just trolling, drop a PPB and move on
“What’s your ideology?”
Whatever you want it to be sugar ;)
Sick, revolutionary Marxism-Leninism then, we can talk theory over our preferred vices
To a point. This Reddit phrase is thrown around far too often for people seeking an actual answer.
For sure, but the person asking isn’t the only one who will see it online, still a vector to radicalize
Sometimes they really are the only one who sees it. Radicalization via an internet comment is greatly over exaggerated here in this echo chamber.
Not everything is a teaching moment.
That’s true and fair, but also if you stop looking for opportunities you stop finding them
I mostly try to radicalize in person, I don’t use much social media outside of this anymore tbh, but the overall approach is the same irl or online
make it make sense without disqualifying any of my core beliefs
The math doesn’t math!
I hate that phrase too.
Oh hi Marx!
Let me guess, they use a huge number of (possibly AI generated) words to just say that it is a big mystery but the rich probably deserve it and it is actually a good thing the average household can’t afford to live anymore.
“fear and greed index” is a bit, right? right???
That’s the only emotions they experience depending on whether stonk is going up or down.
incredible screenshot
The author seems to use the “Make It Make Sense” as a recurring bit. Just rehashing the same stuff over and over too. Must be nice to get that salary for making pathetic propaganda for the ruling class.
“For subscribers”
🤔🧐
why is consumer confidence so low when the stock market is reaching all-time highs? explain this paradox!
::Kelly:: k-hole economy
my eyebrows show how confusing this all is
