We might actually be getting to a point where working class Americans, especially BIPOC, will start collectively realising that "voting blue no matter who" to "protect marginalised people" is nothing but bullshit. The American working class can't vote themselves outta blue and red maga fascism.

If you're asking marginalised groups to "vote for the lesser evil", then you're part of the privileged group that doesn't get traumatised by any of the evil. And frankly, I hope you fix yourself or die! Next time someone tells you to vote for the lesser evil, tell them to fix themselves or die. 🙂

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

Genuinely, “AOC can find some common ground and pull these ppl away from their belief,” is some big tent nonsense. A fool’s errand for fool’s gold. The only thing that’s tried and true here is NEVER convincing these types of people to go left, despite every effort. Waste of time and integrity.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Checking out the first chapter of the detective manga Don't Call it Mystery. After hearing a police officer complain about how his daughter thinks he's smelly, our MC displays his eccentric deductive bona fides by springboarding into a multi-page tangent on evolutionary incest avoidance theories.
A bushy haired protagonist is seated across an interrogation table from a bald police officer.

"Did you raise your daughter with love?"

Secondary cop: "OH MAN, YOU READ HIM LIKE A BOOK. HE GOES TO ALL THE PTA MEETINGS AND GRADUATION CEREMONIES."

"But she says your dirt and smelly...and demands that her laundry and yours are done separately, right. Does that make you angry?""It's not your daughters fault though. It's animal instinct. In the animal world...most children don't live with their fathers. So a child might grow up never meeting her father or knowing who he is. If they mate their children will be genetically predisposed to defects. That's why their genes send out a warning signal. Biologically your daughter is getting the message, "Don't mate with him." That's why she acts out.""It's not because she's a brat. Or because you really do stink. You said that you must have raised her wrong. But it's the opposite. You've raised her well. If you'd failed as a father, she'd be a daddy's girl clinging to you into adulthood and...she'd be wishing she could marry you. It's the same to with mama's boys. You might feel sad about the way things are but I think it just means that you've been a good father to her. So it's not that you did a poor job raising her. In fact, thanks to you she's going to grow up to be a fine young woman. I think that's wonderful."The cop leaves and says "This is creeping me out."

"It's only a theory. And I think it's a pretty good one."
