what do y’all think of this? It makes some good points and Micheal Hudson is probably not right, but I have one criticism to make. One of his arguments that the richest people are still industrial capitalists (because they started businesses that do stuff), not finance capitalists, but as Cory Doctorow points out, those companies are basically just rentiers at this point. Amazon makes most of its money hosting other businesses on their site, “Meta” makes most of its money hosting being a middleman connecting advertisers and unpaid content creators poorly. Thus, it seems at least the emperial core has increased rentierism. This doesn’t mean it’s not built on peripheral industry and that reindustrializing the west would benefit average people, but it does seem to be good news about the decline of empire. Other thoughts?
It’s strange to me that being responsive to questions, regardless of the amount of social clout someone has, is somehow spun as a bad characteristic about Roderic here.
I think the insanity is the extent to which he is terminally online, not necessarily that he will reply to anyone.
They haven’t posted in four months 👀👀👀
Can you please let me know how often I should post such that I am neither terminally online nor suspiciously off-line?
Lol, that’s not what I meant I find the weak “too/under online” comments annoying
i mean, being terminally online is objectively bad. I think we can all agree even while being guilty of it.
Look at how long they went without commenting before this lmfao
Responding in ten seconds abt how your claims would never be taken seriously for identity politics reasons is not being responsive to questions. They’re just seething attempts at pithy remarks 60% of the time.
Literally saying nobody in Latin America would take Ruy Mauro Marini’s theories seriously. What a useless suckup Twitter blowhard.
Wow you really logged in after 4 months to defend your liege 😵💫
