Me, a liberal: "You need to understand that gender and ethnicity and religious tradition naturally divide us. But we can overcome all that with meritocracy. If we just stack rank everyone, we can skim the cream and anyone who works hard enough can join the professional class."

Also me, still a liberal: "Yeah, we're just firing all the women, the non-Europeans, and any out LGBTQ faculty member from the organization because we need to comply with new Anti-DEI rules. No, I don't see what that has to do with their economic position or social standing in society. Maybe they all should have just worked harder."

Hard to reach any sort of inflection point like that with infighting. Crabs in a barrel will remain crabs in a barrel. People on Reddit legit trashing Cory Booker for saying the wrong things during a filibuster right now

Leftist purity culture is the best tool the fascists have

So you're admitting that the War on Christmas is real?

The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People are okay with huge leverage into real estate because housing always goes up, as their currency always goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The gold standard ended in America during the Great Depression, and deficit spending with a fiat currency helped end the problems Wall Street's short sighted greed caused.

Inflationary policy has its problems but the vestigial remains you're referring to ending in 1970 didn't mean anything compared to the rise of neoliberalism itself.

Gold is fine if you're expecting a collapse, or your government is run by fascist twats with direct financial incentive to inflate the national currency, but the end of the standard simply wasn't the problem.

They excluded housing appreciation from the CPI in the late 80s, created 30 year loans, massive bailouts adding to moral hazard; I agree its neoliberalism, deregulating the money supply growth made people over leverage to profit off the cantillon effect, obviously leading to asset bubbles.
