fuck it I want the world to burn after what they did to Uhlig

is everyone aware that the American Economic Association was founded

by white eugenicists

and promoted their agenda aggressively in its early years?

lets consult an expert Scholarly source

I havent even gotten to economists yet but we have got to put a stop to all Fields

Biology? Canceled. Law? Canceled. Theater, literature, the Democratic Party, the State of Wisconsin but especially its University?

You better believe that's a cancelling

Socialism? CANCELED

The Left? CANCELED

Birth control? CANCELED

(overall I would say the Catholic Church is the last man standing think about THAT)

lets turn now to the eras Progressive economists

Have you heard the tragedy of Commons?

I thought not. It is not a story the AEA would tell you

Its a Eugenic's story

meanwhile, AEA cofounder Simon Patten was Breeding Supermen and measuring skulls

(@newrepublic: canceled as fuck)

i wonder what view's @AEAjournals published about black people

(@Prudential: canceled. Is it not the same firm? Tear it for its bad verses)

(Sociology: canceled)

And now it gets interesting.

@HowardU? Canceled.

WEB Du Bois: toast

wonder what the future 28th president of the United states was up to during these times

I think my point is clear

Any discipline or entity with its origins in the progressive era must be Purged

As a starting point, here is what I suggest

I have in my hand a list of 500--a list of names which are known to be members of the American Economics Association and who are nevertheless still working and shaping policy in economics across the United States

@DistractedAnna @wrongbutkind Happy to field questions as you like. I know the most about economics, but some lessons are broadly applicable, and this is a good place to get inside information on navigating schools.

Good luck, and stay safe. 🙏

@selentelechia so skimming, a few years later, i notice @ProfEmilyOster signed this letter and i no longer feel bad about what mommy groups are doing to her and in fact you know what i hope they succeed in cancelling her

economics is outstanding amongst the social scientists in its willingness to consider second-order effects

so we shouldnt be surprised that with typical lucidity, cancellations in the field are not just for an alleged offender, but for his defenders too

im aware of a group of chinese economists with evidence suggesting we implement cancellations out to nine degrees of separation but they havent put out a working paper yet so i think its a bit early to discuss the results

everyone on this list should frankly die of shame

imbens is especially disappointing to me

whole fucking profession letting me down but him in particular. i looked up to him.
