I don’t let others think for me…here’s the link to a podcast I got my ideas from.
So, is your galaxy-brain take here that voting for fascism leads to fascism, voting against fascism leads to fascism and not voting leads to fascism and all 3 get us there at the same time? I mean, that sure sounds like you’re saying not to vote.
I don’t doubt the guys credentials…but John Maynard Keynes was an author and Kings College fellow, and he got a lot of shit wrong, too.
Either there’s a lot of nuance that you filtered out of his theories, or the guy is playing the same game as Jordan Peterson (another author and professor who likes to talk out his ass).
The only logical conclusion of the argument you made was that voting has no economic or policy outcomes, and all democratic systems will inexorably lead to fascism. There is not sufficient evidence to support that claim.
I have. He’s a psychologist though. August H. Nimtz, Ph.D., is a professor of political science and African American and African studies in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota.
He specializes in Marxism, political economy, politics of race, class & ethnicity, and African politics. So I trust he has more insight into politics. I don’t discount anyone’s opinions based on their political leanings. I’ll listen to Kim Jung-UN if you give me recommendations. I’ll admit I have trouble with Trump though, he lied too much.
John Money was a professor and owned his own practice but was found much later to have lied about his data. So being a professor doesn’t really mean anything. Why do you as a person believe this other person?
Until Jesus comes back and tells us the truth, which isn’t happening anytime soon, experts appointed by the rigors of science is the closest socially we can get to an arbiter of truth. Individuals may fail us, but the framework still holds value.

He’s an expert and a professor, and I am sure he knows eating sausage causes heart disease. Who are you?

We will see. I didn’t come to this conclusion from one podcast. It’s been years of reading that did that.

Just a guy that reads and enjoys learning about political theory.
