Wait are you serious? I thought this was a bit.

I doubt ARM’s designs have backdoors in them, too many people can look at them. It is better to just put the backdoors in a level lower, especially because those companies, Qualcomm and Apple are American but ARM isn’t.

There is great disorder under heaven; the situation is excellent.

Not true. LLMs are quite new and have all had slightly ‘woke’ tendencies. Previous things weren’t trained on large internet data.

“balanced budgets” are recessionary. lots of government debt is generally preferable because it means the government is spending more money than taking in. that money eventually goes to citizens and fuels growth.

This is completely wrong, both empirically and theoretically and shows the liberal ideology deeply embedded in MMT theory.

The stuff above is largely correct but better stated in the Marxist way. There are two kinds of government appropriation, real and symbolic. Real appropriation is spending, the government ordering people to do something, build a road, teach some students, etc. Symbolic appropriation is taxation, it doesn’t actually matter that the government takes some bits of paper (or gold), but it justifies the real appropriation and sort of determines how the burden of government action is distributed.

None of this is to say that getting rid of taxation is a good idea, indeed, it is impossible to get rid of government appropriation without getting rid of government entirely. It is worse to have a hidden appropriation that has distorting effects as in the case of the Soviet Union and better to have transparent taxation which doesn’t punish certain kinds of enterprises (namely the state owned ones, by requiring them to fund the whole government).

The reason citizens paid little tax was because the government got most of its funding from SOE profit. It has nothing to do with MMT.

do you want all your youtube habits to be in the hands of the government?

They already are

Just for the sake of clarity, what exactly do you think will happen?

Presumably you believe Marx shouldn’t have written The Poverty of Philosophy.

The MMTers are wrong and their ideas largely come from Keynes, a diehard anti-communist. MMT has a fundamentally anti-communist and anti-planning character which should be criticized.

Ironically, it is the exact opposite. Soros is trying to destroy any alternatives to Western civilization.

This, except its the other way around. The amount of American crying about cyberattacks is crazy given the amount of evidence they have provided.

There can be a revolution in Taiwan.

Don’t bother replying. I don’t want waste my time talking to people who can’t answer a simple question

Different opinions are scary aren’t they? Don’t worry you can hide under the bed. Fortunately, the world will change around you anyways.

Death to America, of course.

Yeah, cognitive dissonance hurts, so you respond aggressively, perfectly understandable, if disappointing.

This is so adorable.

You’re being vague because you are wrong.

Tough to have decades of indoctrination questioned, isn’t it?

Least fascist liberal.
