What nation arrests and locks up the most 5 year olds in the world? 30,000 children under 10 since 2013?
Clue #1:
~Half of the 5 year olds locked up are Black, because it's a super racist country.
Clue #2:
Other than Black parents, most of their own citizens don't care enough to oppose it.

It’s the claim that this wasn’t also obviously and mainly a signal to Trump that other NATO countries had Denmark’s back that is ludicrous. Thats how everyone instantly and correctly saw it, and claiming “no no that is a mistake we just wanted to show we responded to your criticism” is v v weak.

See, you didn’t actually do the lynching, but perhaps you printed the advertisement, or you brought something comfortable for the family to sit on while watching the spectacle. Maybe you even got a souvenir body part.
Consequences? Not too worry, you have an off-ramp. Amnesia.

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

The credit multiplier for a given interest rate is a function of household optimism about their earnings prospects (outside credit manias like the housing bubble). Despite high household net worth & home equity, consumers are cautious on debt given subdued income expectations (not a bad thing)
