Normally we don’t give hatred and lies oxygen, but today we have to confront economic delusion and hatred head on, with a new financial “Axis of Evil” from CPAC, combining the worst of all bogus economics, breaking out in hatred at a level that I have never seen before online. (No, I won’t quote those tweets.) Quora is free of this hatred so far. YMMV.
We have to look at the old Imperial Mercantilist economics that was one of the triggers for the American Revolution, plus, simple, old-fashioned feudal and capitalist greed, Friedman’s Market Fundamentalism, Reaganomics, Starve the Beast, and more.
We begin today in the middle of the fracas, with ESG=Environmental, social,and corporate governance. (Wikipedia)
CPAC: Put an End to Woke “ESG”
Conservatives Use CPAC Platform to Galvanize Attack on ESG
Galvanization, applying electric shocks to a dead body, is how Luigi Galvani showed that nerves in frog’s legs conduct electricity (real life), and how Dr. Frankenstein reanimated a patchwork human (early Science Fiction). Be careful what you wish for, CPACers.
Their new Axis of Evil is
- George Soros, of course. He named Friedman’s “Market Fundamentalism”.
- World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab.
- Larry Fink, CEO of asset-management behemoth BlackRock.
A bit more on each of them appears below.
