It's literally the Fascist playbook. While Liberals twist themselves into knots over the latest "outrage", the jack boots are mobilizing and hitting the streets. There was a quote from a "famous" Nazi jurist that explains this.

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,…

So with the last bit of my belief that you might be engaging in good faith, I as that you please go do the work on this one. Lynchings were executions. Many were state sanctioned, even if unofficially. There were postcards and church gatherings, celebrations and trophies. They were not mobs

polerin @polerin.bsky.social · 22h

+ intent of wasting people's time and energy, toying with us and our pain. To have a fruitful conversation about this kind of history, you need a better understanding of the ways that governments legitimized and took advantage of lynching, and the ways that lynching isn't normal mob violence

polerin @polerin.bsky.social · 22h

It's *exhausting* and there is an inherent imbalance in the energy required by everyone in the interaction. You might be asking this in good faith, I don't know, but your line of questioning is familiar for many of us. It feels very much like the other people who have engaged with the explicit +

polerin @polerin.bsky.social · 22h

Look at the history of lynching, how they were used to forward a political project, create fear in a population (which this execution is intended to do), and how they had a pseudo-official nature in many cases. Lynching is far closer to a state directed and performed execution than "a mob killing"

That is such an obtuse and sealiony line of argument on their part holy fuck. It also doesn't even attempt to understand the history of lynching and their semi-official nature, nor the impacts they were intended to have. Fuuuucking butts that is so obnoxious.

Yes, trans people have been fleeting red states in a manner that can be called "precedented" in only the loosest sense. But if you look, there aren't MAGA militia on the streets right now. They're at home drinking beer, just watching FOX and reading social media. This is different from before.

"The plane came down April 6. A very small number of local Hutus went straight for retaliation. But most waited four days in their houses and in the nearest cabarets, listening to the radio, watching Tutsis flee, chatting and joking without planning a thing.
