BRICS are expanding and Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, plus natural gas, coal, iron ore, bauxite, gold, nickel, diamonds and lithium. I can't think why the CIA are trying to arrange another coup, can you?

Underneath the obfuscation it's simple. The West's ruling class got wealthy on the back of rent, usury, cheap labour, cheap energy and technology. The rise of BRICS threatens their global reach, so their political and media minions are banging the war drums. They must be deposed.
Economically illiterate journalists are a menace. The myth that taxes pay for public spending is bad enough, but claiming we pay off the national debt with them is stupid. Bonds/debt are complex, but nonsense like this doesn't help our understanding.

"There's not a huge amount of money there...I know the scale of the challenge I inherit....private sector investment is the lifeblood of a successful economy." If Reeves believes this, she's an idiot. If she doesn't, she's a corrupt neoliberal imposter.
Progressive neoliberalism is the primary cause of populist unrest. The recent memory of economic and social stability during a culturally conservative past is still alive. Many now associate cultural progress with socioeconomic decline. Starmer/Harris will lead us to the brink...
Austro-libertarian economics is a child's wet dream in which free individuals act in self-correcting markets that produce equality. The reality of their offspring neoliberalism is inequality, narcissism, plutocracy, oligarchy, regular market crashes and unpredictable reaction.
Global neoliberals at work. Reeves is Mises in disguise. Kill the state, privatize everything, kill socialism, subjugate the w-class, keep the casino open at all costs. We've reached a stage where only nationalists will rise against this. Dark times ahead.
Incredible. The new Chancellor has just handed the fiscal keys to the unelected OBR. Elected governments must now ask permission from a non-departmental body to make decisions on spending and taxation - powers Parliament fought a Civil War for. Britain is finished. 🇬🇧
Pointless arguing with libertarians. Ask them who puts up prices, they throw high-school graphs at you showing correlations between money supply, prices and inflation. Causality is restricted to consumers 'bidding up'. Bereft or scared of aetiological understanding. I give up
For the libertarian numpties who think prices are set by individual exchanges in markets, here's how businesses are forming automated cartels with algorithms to fix prices and circumvent anti-trust laws. If there's a way, the wide boys will find it.

There is nothing wrong with chanting intifada. However, protesting outside a synagogue conflates the Jewish religion and Jewish Americans with the actions of Israel. That is problematic. As well, protesting outside any house of worship looks terrible.
