Caplan doesn't believe in the blank slatism, nonetheless he attempts to justify his position with a mix of libertarian autism, utilitarian autism and hypothesized GDP maximisation.

Well, if you paid attention what Trump was actually saying on the right you would get called a traitor / globalist / a fed / blackpiller / loser / brown / some combination thereof, so there wasn't a lot of critical examination going on.
Then there is the 4d chess plan truster thing - "of course he has to say that to get elected, but he's actually based you guys, once election is done all doubters will be deported / put into crystals". For some reason they never consider that 4d chess is for tricking them.

Turkey being accepted into the EU seemed like a real possibility before Erdogan went all strongman, so was it really a lie at the time of Brexit?
In a similar vein:
UK voters: we want less immigration.
Boris Johnson: you want less Eastern Europeans? Heard you loud and clear! A million non-EU immigrants a year coming right up!
American conservatives: we're sick of the wokeness in universities.
Politicians: we will clear out protesters against Israel's atrocities immediately.

Increasing labor supply drives down the prevailing wages in and of itself (else being equal).

Elon Musk demands that Republican party be purged of “contemptible fools”, "hateful, unrepentant racists" because otherwise Indians won't vote for it (not that they were likely to anyway) and therefore it will fail.
He's certainly doubling down.
He said he will staple green cards to diplomas and that US needs mass legal skilled immigration because something something AI. I think he promised to deal with h1b when he ran in 2016, not now?

Pro-proxy war isn't pro-Ukraine.
If the system isn't working for the people of Uk they might as well Starve the Beast.

Who cares about some assasination once in the blue moon as a measure of the healthcare system? It doesn't register in the grand scheme of death and misery involved.
Tate Brothers asked their followers to go undercover in her gangbang and literally preach the gospel to a cum infested e celeb.
Absolutely insane levels of grift given their source of wealth and fame.

It didn't just occur a decade ago. US aircraft were even bombing Syrian army after Allepo was taken over.
Getting injured and dealing with the medical industry was probably the motivating incident, but was frying his brains on psychodelics also a factor?
"Drug abuse" isn't fair criteria imo. The most intelligent, open-minded individuals I know all manipulate and push the buttons of their pysche via specific drugs.
"Drug abuse" should distinguish psilocybin, marijuana from addictive soul-suckers like meth, fentanyl, etc

Israel is invading Syria through the Golan heights "to establish a buffer zone", so far unopposed (?).
It's "blinkered thinking" to think that a country has responsibility to limit damage it causes abroad? Nobody made US get involved under Obama but it did.
In all likelihood, Syria will be a complete mess, so no hope of that from me.

If you can't trust those guys, whom can you trust?
American government supported the "moderate" head-chopper rebels, so responsibility would be under "you broke it, you bought it" clause.

That's such a cop-out and a distraction. Criminals shouldn't have been born in the first place? Unless you have a time machine that's entirely irrelevant as to how to punish them in the meantime.
Jones act came was passed 104 years ago. Clearly it isn't working to make American shipbuilding great again at the moment. How long are you prepared to keep it and wait around for it to cause the golden age of American shipbuilding - 104 years more?

Sounds like we agree?
There's a huge age confounder afaik. Boomers do, because they have been propagandized for decades.
No? Because openly agitating against whites, males, conservatives is still acceptable? At best it's less perverse than the Boris Johnson case.
