You literally stated that you had created an account only to tell me that I suck. Which was a lie, you created an account to talk about Bosnia which is fine but fundamentally, I piss in your cheerios is not the sort of introduction that gets you civil discourse. I read the damn book. You didn't. As stated, it's 95% "things other than MMT" and "things that are MMT" fits on a napkin. It is truly Laffer Curve communism; the four points I listed (or five if you want to go Wiki on it) are all you need to know. I, too, thought there was more to it than that. There is not. What else do you expect me to state? As far as "elaborate explanations for why I shouldn’t read something" I have elaborate explanations both ways. I even have a justification for pontification if you were to ask. You did not. Instead you said hi new here u sukk and then expected civil discourse. "Sorry if I came off as brash or something?" Followed by more backhanded snark? So far you've displayed - indignance - superiority - disappointment - scorn - sarcasm - haughtyness - condescension - false humility - incredulousness - and dismissal in that order and we've only traded a couple dozen words. So yeah - I could absolutely delve deeper into this shit; after all, I read the damn book. But I need a reason to interact with you. Right now, that reason is to demonstrate as convivially as possible that if you decide to interact with me in this manner you will come out on the short end. But that's done now. So. Would you like to try again? Or would you like to be on your merry way?
I actually said that your review sucks, which imo is pretty different. Didn't mean it as a personal attack or anything. If your argument relies on the premise that your opponents are simply too stupid to know what they're talking about then yeah, I'm pretty sure you're arguing in bad faith. I'm honestly not that interested in engaging beyond this point. I'll give you this though: your screes do have a lot of entertainment value.
How about some actual discussion and arguments beyond "this sux" ? So far, you're just starting shit with no explanation - don't see why anyone would engage. It's also not twitter - you're allowed to write more than 150 characters if you actually have anything constructive to say.
I actually deliberately don't mention this place on subs like /redditalternatives. I don't want more of them here LOL. That said, I'm not sure we're famous for our friendly discourse? I would be skeptical of that claim anyway. Everyone seems to agree we're rough around the edges and maybe just as rough as we were 5 years ago. A comment which I've considered and I am willing to accept. I remember many times telling people who made posts about how they didn't like hubski, that they should just leave. And that was when I thought it was in its heyday. That said I also kind of suspected this guy might be an alt. But who knows. My sister speculated that our home state was "hiding something" from us because she didn't see new COVID data posted for the past 4 days. Turns out she was looking in the wrong place. I think most conspiracy theories go like that.
