All your heroes were content chasing tax $$ in a fiat regime & they couldn't sac up to change shit.

Now #MMT has gotten in front of incrementalists & begun doing what you couldn't & wouldn't do for the last BAZILLION years. Some of the victories are different than what you think
It's ok to HATE #BlueAnon & despise sell outs & point out when Progressives fail to do the minimum resistance & watch Joe Manchin do solo what the squad would not do for Medicare for All or wars or lies like Russia Gate & all the other horseshit the horrific establishment pushes
It's ok to point out how shitty the party is and how they leverage rotating villains to kill legislation
It's ok to point out rigged elections and the way the evil parasites shit all over Progressives and the sheer hate they have for the working class.
But if you didn't understand #MMT & didn't advance the bold economic understanding that has led to an overt acceptance of deficits, then you should step back & ask why you didn't know & why you have the sac to critique MMT economists & consultants who did & are changing the world
Our job is to tear down strongholds and make become unwilling to accept politicians lies and deceit. To organize. To take to the streets and become ungovernable. To demand change. To give aircover to the change makers wherever they are. Like Navy Seals and other special forces.
It takes more than slagging folks on social media. Trust that. It requires commitment and focus. A focus far too many cannot be bothered with.
It also requires working together instead of trying to be big fish in small ponds.

Neoliberals represent an existential threat to even their most ardent defenders for the following 3 key reasons:
1. Neoliberals represent the status quo during times when drastic action is required. They tell everyone everything is impossible and then ensure it is impossible by instituting austerity measures of deficit reduction and tax hikes.
2. Neoliberals allow lesser intellects and wealthy people to feel they have done their Civic duty example preventing Trump and then go back to sleep...

What I hope people get from this Biden stimulus bill: we could have solved the problems and we chose to celebrate bandaids, even with a Democratic super majority. We still allowed @JoeManchinWV to hurt millions of people. We allowed a lot of people to be left in the cold.
Remember we Backstopped Wall Street and other FIRE sector corporations with TRILLIONS of zero interest loans and took bad debt off their balance sheets without flinching but we had to reduce unemployment benefits by $100 to appease... Democrats?
We still have not eliminated student debt, why?

The absolutely ONLY thing I can think of to celebrate about the stimulus is it serves to shatter the Deficit Myth and yet it was too tiny and now the counter strike will attack this pittance.
Don't let the bad guys talk about inflation. We are nowhere near full employment, so any talk of inflation should be met with guillotines
Bbbbut inflation= guillotines
Bbbut confidence in the dollar = guillotines
Bbbbut personal responsibility = guillotines

I have consistently put solutions on the table in the activism I perform.

Every single podcast and video is solutions based.

The powers that be & their advisors know we can do so much more.

I know this for sure & that is what is so disturbing.

There is NOTHING to celebrate.
We new we could nationalize payroll...

Who paid attention? Not a fucking soul.

We knew that corruption and control fraud run thick and deep through both vile parties yet folks sheeped up to the gods of "vote blue".

NEVER FORGET THAT THE DUMB FUCK DEMOCRATS BELIEVE A PERSON MAKING $80K IS RICH... forget they have no capital, buried in child support, student debt & a host of neoliberal taxes and fees. So they will just keep fucking families to hide the theft of Wall Street 2 keep fucking us.
Possibly the next grossest thing aside from the Dems fetish with means testing is the "Progressives" who believe this shit as well, punching their neighbors rather than tearing down the oligarchy.
If you are not holding capital and beyond a paycheck, you are working class even if you drive a new car or wear a tie. People need to get the 99% will be needed in this battle.

FYI... The costs of Medicare for All are estimated at 30 Trillion. The costs of a Federal Job Guarantee & Free College? Lots. The cost of eliminating student Debt... Trillions. The costs of rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure trillions ...the costs of universal childcare 1/x
Trillions. The costs of a Green New Deal TRILLIONS...
Being completely coherent and well versed in macroeconomics, it is obvious to me without even doing the homework that if you play by conservative talking points of tax payer dollars "paying for" programs... It will suck every dollar in existence into the shredder and...
