An economist fighting conservative and right wing misinterpretations of economic theory. Why? Because bad economics generates confusion and conflict. USA. 💙

Speaking of conservative grifters, have I discussed Vilfredo Pareto (1858-1920), the fellow who developed the notion of Pareto Optimality seen in neoclassical welfare economics and was an early follower of Italian fascism? (18) #EconSky #ethics
The concerns of egoistic American voters. "How can you ensure me my vote, my own, my precious, really matters?" Matters as much as the next person's. "That's simply not good enough. My views must be paramount. Set aside all others and do as I say, otherwise, I'll help the fascists burn it all down."

Answer to a question on a future cognitive exam: "Lord Dampnut is to respectable US presidents as modern conservative, Republican voters are to respectable American citizens." Aced it!

One really must applaud the courage of Mr. Ahmed al-Ahmed, the Australian fruit shop owner who managed to maneuver behind and then tackle one of the perps of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack targeting Jewish people, successfully gaining control of the weapon but getting shot twice in the process.

I see conservative, right wing, Republican president / fascist Leader / crime boss Lord Dampnut wasted no time putting pen to paper to insult Mr. Reiner and his wife after they were killed in a tragic domestic situation involving their troubled son. Because everything is politics for a fascist.

Knife wounds? Wait, did one of those conservative, Republican fascist nut jobs kill Mr. Reiner and his wife? Certainly sounds right up their alley, with their love of violence, murder, that sort of thing. I mean, I hope not but ... someone else?

The funny thing about overly elaborate scholastic bits of formal sophistry like academic bad economics in the conservative style is that those who promote it may suppose it makes them smarter than those who never bothered or rejected it straightaway, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment.

I really can't talk to hipsters about politics. Many are against (our) democracy, the US Constitution, like the fascists, but only because it's not a "real" democracy, a direct democracy, which would fix everything right up. They're "anarchists" but want government, law of the sort they support.

Funny that anti-democracy crypto-fascist / "libertarian" Sen. Paul (Republican - Kentucky) has apparently just recently discovered fascists often use war and random "regime change" for political purposes. Apparently he's never read a book or indeed seen a program or film relating to real history.

Why does Christmas at Rockefeller Center look more like Hoe Down at the Grand Ole Opry these days? Are there really that many rural southerners living in NYC or is it all part of this conservative, anti-democracy Neo-Confederate cultural domination one sees everywhere in the US these days?

Republican political rhetoricians, “If you perceive Democrats as anything less than perfection, you should do nothing and allow Republicans to win.”
December 13, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Fascists, who suppose anti-democracy fascism is perfectly acceptable and no big deal, perhaps even think it a very funny joke, can't understand why others take it so seriously. I just read a fascist telling anti-fascists to "grow up" and accept with good grace fascist relatives, neighbors, friends.

Just curious. Is there any reason to buy one of Hitler salute throwing, right wing, establishment elite, megalomaniac Mr. Musk's hideous looking Swasticars beyond the political statement one supports anti-democracy fascism? I mean, by all accounts, not exactly a quality car, is it?
December 13, 2025 at 4:32 AM
I keep seeing references to US fascist Leader Lord Dampnut covering or hiding his hand. You don't think he's just subconsciously play acting being former German fascist Leader Adolph Hitler, who famously developed a tremor in his hand from a failed assassination attempt and tried to hide it?

I really must laugh at all the non-voting clowns who did nothing to stop the fascists from coming into power and trashing the place, but who also now lambaste Dems for not stopping them and instituting their own policies instead. Good one. But it gets old and less funny with time.

Many Americans trying to deal with the force field of complacency surrounding conservatism, Republicanism: "We oppose MAGA, who are not really Republicans or conservatives but have hijacked the Republican, conservative movements and hoodwinked Republican, conservative voters into voting for them."

I think anti-liberal, anti-democracy right wingers, left wingers, and anarchists get alone so well because they're all from basically the same egoistic, hubristic subculture, only some go one way, some the other. They seem to express many of the same concerns and objectives, talk the same language.
December 12, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Saw some fatuous anti-liberal, anti-Democratic real or fake "leftist" explain Lord Dampnut's victory by saying the Democrats did not do enough to "reach" them so they, by implication, preferred to punish all by not lifting a finger to oppose fascism / gangsterism. So much hubris, egotism.
December 11, 2025 at 10:26 PM
Republicans who have been voting Republican for the past 40 years and look at crime boss Lord Dampnut and his posse of fascists / gangsters and say things like, "They're not really Republican," strike me as very stupid people who have been voting for things they don't really understand for years.

New head of FBI, some southern Neo-Confederate, fascist, conservative fellow named Michael Glasheen, explains the most immediate violent threat he thinks the USA faces is "Antifa." When asked for details on this dangerous organization, he says, "We are building out the infrastructure right now."
December 11, 2025 at 7:32 PM
Want to know a category of people I don't think I'll ever be to really respect? Conservative, Republican voters who put Lord Dampnut and his gang of Republican fascists and gangsters in charge of our government. Sorry, but there's really no coming back from that. That will always be there.
December 11, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Again reminded that in American popular discourse "liberal" often just means whoever one happens to dislike. So if one is annoyed at people who voted, they're "liberals." If it's people who didn't vote, they're "liberals." If conservatives, they're "liberals." If leftists, they're "liberals."

A nice mnemonic when thinking of the relationship between neoclassical welfare economics, anti-democracy bad economics in the conservative style, and fascism, is to mentally replace “Pareto optimality” with “Mussolini optimality.” #ethics #EconSky
December 11, 2025 at 1:06 AM
Speaking of draconian right wing fascism and big government, conservative-style, did I read Lord Dampnut wants foreign visitors to disclose five years of social media history? Because ... well, I suppose just in the interests of thought control, isn't it? Don't say bad things about The Leader?

Seems conservative, Republican voters finally got their wish. Lord Dampnut appears to be running US economic policy the way he ran his many failed businesses: grab whatever he can for himself, let the company fail, declare bankruptcy, stiff his creditors and workers, move on to the next grift.
