Ever wondered whether capital or labor income makes individuals move up the income ladder? So did my fantastic co-authors @marcoranaldi.bsky.social and @robertoiacono.org and I! Short answer: It's mostly LABOR income! 1/2

German public TV just published this poll of first-time voters. A massive lead for socialist Left party on 27%. Left + SPD + Greens on 54% among first-time-voters. Those voters were also slightly less likely to vote AfD than national average. So much for the “far-right youth”.

Der offene Staatsstreich in den USA (war immerhin angekündigt) oder das komplette - sorry, es ist mit Ausnahme der @woz.ch und @republik.ch wirklich so - komplette Versagen der Medienlandschaft Schweiz das auch nur annähernd adäquat abzubilden?

The only way the right can win state power is to acknowledge the deep suffering that has been created by decades of rising inequality, and blame this suffering on some ‘other’ - migrants, criminals, deviants etc. That othering is, of course, the prerequisite for fascism.

Funny how 5 years ago we had all these debates about wealth taxation, and a big argument was that billionaires don't have that much power really—and right after that Musk bought Twitter for $44B, used it to get Trump win, and now to prop up the global neo-nazi movement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
