The Rogue Scholar

Who cares if everyone DemExits if they are still economically illiterate? Pushing for austerity? Not getting the deal and focusing on a simple exit of a party misses how to radicalize the uninitiated. Those who are still leading normie lives believing their hard-earned tax dollars are paying for whatever the fuck ever they think the government is spending. Taxes do not pay for programs and that in...

The most important topic not covered by those bickering about Peter Daou, Cornel West, RFK Jr and the Democrats' bad gang. This is it and it has to have pressure focused on the real stuff.

The insanity of conspiracies surrounding money and other nonsense that just absolutely destroys any chance of success for the good guys.

It comes in all shapes and sizes, but suffice it to say, we are surrounded by people intent on preserving poverty.

Bandaids and placebos are being handed out to student debtors and why? Garbage economics in left spaces and the lies the establishment and reichwing nutters spread about "How ya gonna pay for it" brings us to a whole new level of terror as the tsunami is set to hit people October 2023. The price we all pay for the liars and the misguided who spread lies about how money comes to be and how to solve...

I rarely agree with Elon Musk, in fact, his libertarian ideals are incredibly dangerous and society killing, however, he makes the most poignant tweet that we will capture for this episode and use it to explain the most basic, yet apparently misunderstood truth hiding in plain sight. It is the real resources that matter. Not the money. #UBI #Musk #Neoliberalism #UBS #LearnMMT #RealResources Video...

I hate fighting with friends. I hate Milton Friedman more. I loathe the monetarist mindset that has us all in tatters. UBI was a libertarian ideal that was to wipe out the gains of the New Deal and thus empower capitalism even more as it turned us into consumption units without any safety nets. The lone thing we own is our labor. Our time. When we leverage the 40 hours a job guarantee provides, it...

Always missing the target is an unforced error.

Fear prevents us from fighting for almost everything we want. It certainly blocks sooo much of progress and people-centric society not a capital driven one.

(A response to MMT critiques) Ever meet someone that simply complicates the most basic shit? To understand MMT, we need to learn its operations and avoid letting our ideologies get in the way. THEN superimpose your values against the lens. MMT is a lens for assessing the macroeconomy. It isn't about your household budget any more than federal finance is or the war economy. #LearnMMT #Marxim #Fiat...

What are we celebrating? What defines a win? Would we know a win if it bit us in the ass? Can the left define what a win even is?

Poets used to get censored for language that made prudes lose their minds. Now, we have fake outrage for the wrong crimes being committed. We revile those who pull back the curtain and call murder out for what it is. In a poetic sense, the language of truth may sound like violence... because in the end... nothing hurts more than the truth. #Violence #Poverty #Capitalism #Neoliberalism #Austerity #...

The debt ceiling issue has revealed the true nature of many individuals who I once believed were advocating for what's right. Regrettably, it seems that these individuals have demonstrated their loyalty to the Democratic Party above all else, even to the detriment of their personal beliefs and principles. They have shown themselves to be political opportunists who will compromise their values in o...

Craziness has said hold my beer in Florida! Full metal stupid with Rick Scott and Florida going all-in cray cray land. Psst... If we keep allowing Democrats to take the heat and disavow socialism, neoliberalism will pull us even further to the right.

If you are wondering why it always feels like we are losing, it is because we are, and the best politicians can do is put on a show that they are "Fighting for you!" but alas, they are merely going through a dance.
