Let's be fair... I can boil the #MMT pushback down to a couple demographics and their baked in need for MMT to be wrong regardless of facts. Let's go...

Academics: when online activists can destroy 50 years of economic malfeasance your work pushed forward in the academy and the journals and in the Ivory Tower... Excuse me... Your class is showing.

Economists in the field: we're unable to get ANY of the major issues correct, but MMT demonstrates your ideas are incorrect and you might lose your place as Grima Würmtongüe at the side of kings because even the proletariat are able to call BS on your work. Based.

When Media Pushes Back: "MMT, YOU ARENT PAYING THE BILLS MATE... slide the envelope in my back pocket and we will get you on, until then... Let them eat cake." Charlatans and grifters have to pay the bills. MMT isn't paying media for spots.

Alt Media: "#MMT doesn't get me likes and clicks so I will stay on the Bitcoin tip, who cares about a Green New Deal, healthcare and ending student debt... I mean, after all... Ivermectin will get me more clicks."

Aspiring Politicians: "My handlers say this MMT thingy isn't gonna sell"

Current politicians: "The master demands I apply more austerity or I reduce spending except the military... How else can we maintain control of the people when they aren't left wanting ."

Deep State Lifers who make the machine work: "MMT takes our lies and turns them on their heads and the masters don't want that"

Big Pharma: "We want subsidies, but fuck your price controls... We want it all and MMT shows the difference between money, cost, real resources and by extension, it exposes our price gouging"

Big Ag: "We love being paid not to produce, but if the people realize how much the public subsidizes us, we will not be able to crush new entrants and Monopoly power will die"

Military Industrial Complex: "#MMT would put forth a Federal Job Guarantee and that would severely impact our ability to sell dying for Multinational Corporations and Resource Extraction... Can't have them fulfilled and not desperate."

Racists: "you mean we could afford #ReparationsNow"? Shit, can't have that #MMT stuff..."

Nationalists: "#MMT means we can afford to allow immigrants without the racism and anti-immigrant nonsense because our culture will be diluted"
