The more posts I see from the English the more I realise how little the English know of their own history. The English have killed exponentially more Welsh and Scotsman than the Argentinians ever have. Not to mention the almost complete erasure of our language and culture.

If you live in the UK and want Argentina to beat England, you should be ashamed of yourself. British blood was spilled at the hands of the Argentines in the Falklands when they tried to take something that wasn't theirs 👍🏻

It is fascinating how Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, unprovoked, got their arses handed to them and manage to flip the narrative that they are the victims.

@devilfruitbat Could be confusing - there is already a West Falkland. How about North Georgia?

@JAYAFC23 @IrishUnity El Reino Unido invadió las islas 1833 sacando a los civiles argentinos por la fuerza. Son piratas, no respetaron la soberanía de argentina

@Ben_A_Hopkinson Funny how £1.8m not extracted from a social tenant is called a "subsidy", but £1.8m extracted from a private tenant and transferred to landlords is just called "the market".

Someone who gets a social tenancy in Kensington and Chelsea at age 25 will receive £1.8m in implicitly subsidised rent over their lifetime

@TheEconomist Cut-price rents for social housing can be worth £32k a year - with no means testing once you are in the home

@Athers83 Even more controversial take You can acknowledge murder is bad whilst also holding ZERO sympathy for the person who was murdered

Controversial take but hear me out: I don’t think you have to share the same political views to think a 78 year old woman being bludgeoned to death in her own home is fucking awful

@mr_james_c What is the solution for growing wealth inequality? We know it'll lead to social problems for all of us. Gated communities and shit?

A question for anyone who advocates wealth taxes: What about pets? Pets have a financial value. How do you calculate them in wealth valuations? What about furniture? What about clothes? Do you value them at purchase or resale value? What about cutlery sets? What about the stuff you've forgotten on the back of the closet? Is it tax avoidance if you forget to include that? And do you revalue all this every year? And who values it? What if there's a dispute about the valuation? These questions never get asked but they should be.

@DanNeidle @technopopulist It's Olympic gold medal standard mental gymnastics and it's lapped up by many who it directly harms because of a weird cultural subservience and/or delusional aspirationalism.

It is a very satisfying video, and I implore everyone to watch it. But what is really fascinating is not that @DanNeidle and Gary disagree over wealth taxes. It's that they approach public policy from completely different *mindsets*. Dan is fairly ruthless in separating morally appealing policies ('vibes') from their real-world effects. He asks: 'Will this do what it says on the tin?' 'What are the unintended consequences?' 'What does the evidence say?' and 'Could this be counterproductive?' Gary asks none of those questions because, in my view, he fails to distinguish between good intentions and real-world outcomes. If something feels good and righteous, then the evidence must support it and nothing can possibly go wrong. To me, that is a big problem with much of the Left's approach to economics. There is an assumption that moral feelings and good intentions naturally translate into good outcomes in the real world. THEY DON'T.
