A thread reflecting on recent #MMT discussion/debate/name calling in Aus Twitter.

I've been watching detractors and critics of MMT battling it out with proponents and it has led me to hate the internet even more and spend less time on Twitter lately. #auspol #ausecon My feed seems full of people on both sides calling each other names and weaponising quote tweets in what appear to be mindless attempts to win the internet, and generally assuming the worst of each other. Often these are people whose values are 90% aligned.
