If Mort Divine ruled the world

I highlight the following points: 1) financial globalization raises wealth inequality in a financially-developed economy initially due to foreign capital pressing up domestic asset prices; 2) much of this increase is transitory and can be reversed as future expected returns on domestic assets fall; and 3) despite the low-interest-rate environment, newly accessed foreign capital provides incentives for affluent households to reallocate wealth toward risky assets while impoverished households increase their debt. Wealth concentration ensues only if this rebalancing effect is large enough to counteract diminished return on domestic assets. Quantitative analysis suggests that global financial integration alone can account for 34% to 55% of the observed increase in the current top one percent wealth share in the U.S., but indicates a possible reversal in the future.

Not news to me. Globalization makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer, in the US. Guess who is pro-globalization: our "moral" rich liberal elites.

Milo Yeahimafaggotopolos just dropped this on his YT channel:

Leaked audio of white nationalist Richard Spencer, published here for the first time, shows him fuming after the death of Charlottesville counter-protester Heather Heyer. In the recording, Spencer is heard raging against Jews and blacks. “My ancestors fucking enslaved those little pieces of fucking shit,” Spencer is heard shouting on the recording. “They don’t do this to fucking me. We’re going to fucking ritualistically humiliate them.”

“Little fucking kikes,” Spencer is heard screaming in a terrifying minute-long rant. “They get ruled by people like me. Little fucking octaroons.” A source close to Spencer confirmed to FreeSpeech.tv that the audio was recorded in Charlottesville at an “emergency meeting” Spencer assembled immediately after he learned of Heather Heyer’s death. It is not clear why Spencer was blaming Jews and black people for the death.

Autoethnographies are the final form of female academic solipsism and navel gazing."I'm an academic because I write about myself as an academic for (faux) journals that legitimate (faux) academic work."

I lost just reading the title. I attended one of my brothers' PhD ceremonies last year and they passed out brochures containing the title of every graduating student's thesis/dissertation. Most were dominated by engineers and scientists, but there were a handful of ones like "What is in a hook-up? A personal reflection on one night stands" or the racial shit like the one you've provided, and it really made me realize that the qualities that make academia good (you know, objectivity and scientific investigation, not double-spaced MLA-format diary entries) are intrinsically male. Thanks to academic imperialism even women can be subjugated to investigative rigor and become world-class scientists, but that's eroding rather quickly. All of the worst titles came from white women, and not even Jewish ones, it'd be like 200 Ranjeeta Patels with research about AI or new materials chemistry, and then 10 Stephanie McAnglosons talking about the struggles of their vaginas.

And I fully acknowledge that were I not also raised in an environment that fostered basic research practices, my own dissertation (successfully defended last month) would have had a title like "Shitposting: a huwhite male's latent contrarian disposition and the internet pornography that enables him".

EDIT: Decided to see what numerical/objective analysis there was at all...

Traditionally, higher education and academia appear highly white-male dominant in terms of demography. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 49.6% of the faculty and instructional staff in degree-granting postsecondary institutions were white males in 2015 (Snyder, de Brey, & Dillow, 2016). When considering both males and females, white faculty and staff comprised 80.3% of faculty, an overwhelming majority of faculty in the U.S. On the other hand, female Asian/Pacific Islanders comprised only 2.8% of the entire faculty and staff number.

Race as a social construct reveals...

Just nuke higher education.

EDIT #2: I skimmed the Wikipedia autoethnography page to see what form of criticism there was of it as a method of research, and wasn't surprised that the page is mostly rambling bullshit. Not sure whether this means that the Wikipedia author was suppressing it or whether real academics just ignore and tolerate it, and I didn't really care enough, so I simply googled 'autoethnographies are bullshit', which yielded...



Internet trolling, the new gold standard in academic critique.

Charlie Kirk was riding a gravy train for a minute there dunking on lefties and blue hairs, but he seems absolutely incapable of dealing with these nationalists at his events lmao.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Has there been a new Q&A? I saw the one recently where Shapiro pre-emptively btfo'd the alt-right nazis with FACTS and LOGIC but nothing since then.

 

[CiG]

I just saw a video on Twitter of an entire crowd booing Kirk and cheering "AMERICA FIRST" as he left the stage but I'm not sure when it went down. They also went to Dan Crenshaw's event and asked him a bunch of questions, which lead to him basically saying BDS isn't protected by the first amendment or something like that, I don't 100% remember.

Edit: Last #CultureWar event was October 29th, next one is tomorrow. I guess the video is either from a different event that Kirk happened to be at, or it's dated footage that is only now making the rounds.

Edit 2: Holy fuck so it looks like it was at this event with Kirk and Trump Jnr lmfao and they booed at the end because they cancelled the Q&A and bounced.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

They shut that down quickly. Apparently Apple and others are banning Fuentes' podcast app or whatever from marketplaces, so he's clearly making real waves now. Only a matter of time until YouTube and Twitter tries shutting it down too.

 

[CiG]

Oh yeah there's a shitstorm coming that kid's way lmfao. He's throwing wrenches in Conservative Inc big time.
