@Enbyyrevived @Aiyub_Dawood The KMT was basically reliant on the landlords they could not destroy them and they did not - so they lost

That is unmistakably the Indosphere, the Indo-Greeks themselves were profoundly shaped by Indian civilisation.

Blue: directly ruled by Greek kings. Orange: influenced by the Greco-Buddhist philosophical tradition. From Portugal to Japan, Greek influence is without parallel in the ancient world.

@SolarLottery89 Why is Hinduism mentioned specifically? Is the artist an Indian atheist?

@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen Not waiting for Boomers and Gen X to die i want my housing.

@Neogorges @zanyfen You could’ve said the same thing about redlining but that eventually went away.
Even if people inherit properties that does not mean they’ll inherit NIMBY politics just because it’s convenient.
It will definitely happen to an extent, but not as much as you may think

Many of you would benefit from learning liberal economics before attempting to level a critique
Alain Beidou@avispartan1
Liberal economics tells us this isn't possible because the landlords will compete with each other to lower prices, in reality landlords aren't stupid enough to start self-ruinous price wars and instinctively understand that the tenants are the enemy!
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen Generational wealth does not automatically equal new development. Heirs who inherit real estate may become the new landlords or homeowners who oppose higher-density construction to protect their own property values.
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen Those boomers are going to die one day you know
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen Liberal democracies, especially pluralist ones, strengthen interest groups and incumbents. Liberal democracies fail to note that political power is often asymmetrical; a group of well-funded NIMBY boomers is going to defeat a swarm of YIMBYs.
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen I’m not saying sit around and do nothing—go out and vote for YIMBYs and only after that’s failed can you complain about the system not working.
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen Boomers blocking construction is bad because you just have to trust the process bro

@Neogorges @zanyfen Radical change achieved through slow internal reform, with a single exception.
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen The US has not been a static liberal democratic society for 200+ years it has seen periods of radical change
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen The first 10 amendments on this piece of paper are still the actual rule of the land two centuries after they were first signed.
All the way back when Napoleon was still a baby.
English
FDR dangerously undermined the Constitution by deliberately weakening the Constitution’s twin structural protections: federalism and separation of powers
Calling him the GOAT president is blasphemy
ThinkingWest@thinkingwest
The FDR worship needs to end. Putting him over Washington? Criminal behavior
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen The franchise has been extended and the US senate was not always directly elected
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen The procedures for electing members of congress and the president are quite literally the same as those used in 1800, deriving from the exact same law written on the exact same piece of paper.
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen The US is quite literally 250 years old, and its institutions have operated under the same laws written back then to this day.
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen That’s what every generation has been saying for the last 200 years
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen The problems of our time can not be fixed by slow, marginal progress.
English
@Neogorges @zanyfen What liberal democracy has against every other system of gov is that it’s designed to survive and make slow, marginal progress in spite of incompetent leadership (or hell, even its own leadership attempting to tear it apart) rather than rely on perpetually competent leadership
English
@loongshih That would have required Chiang to destroy the landed aristocracy
English
@Nachtel_Hussar @zanyfen And that is bad; societies should be dynamic and able to respond to social, political, and economic challenges. The inflexibility of liberalism is becoming a problem.
English
@SimonMagus That was promoted from the 1980s to the mid-2010s and failed terribly.
English
The only genuinely radical political position right now is backing open trade, global free markets, small government and less regulation
English
This is true. Very few places track LKY but loads run left populist, protectionist programmes. It is the basis of Trump's economics, of the European anti-globalist new right and Burnham's "Manchesterism". Import substitution, industrial strategy, price intervention, state regulation, rent control...

People ask - which 20th century leader most directly inspires policy in the 21st century? Some will reply Lee Kuan Yew but they would be wrong, it is actually Juan Perón. There is apparently a constant, strong political desire for people to just run their own versions of Peronism
English
@SimonMagus Protectionism and industrial strategy are how most countries have gotten rich. Singapore was an entrepôt located on a critical strait.

"pretending it’s something it isn’t" is when you ackolwedge China was incredibly poor under Maoism, abandoned Maoism, and became modestly well off
Harold🇺🇸🚩@Harold_2036
The biggest cope of the 21st century is either ignoring China or pretending it’s something it isn’t.
