How [redacted] dare these Bernie fanboys show up to a peaceful Trump rally event only to cause disruptions and harass and attack Trump supporters?
Truly disgusting behavior. Sad!
The hypocrisy when liberals shun classic liberal values by trying to silence others' opinions! The true fascists are on the left, like these gross Bernie fanboys.
I'm misinformed for quoting Acemoglu, who is probably one of the most celebrated and awarded economists living today? Or Robinson who is also well-regarded in the economics community, along with Verdier?
"In our model (which is just that, a model), U.S. citizens would actually be worse off if they switched to a cuddly capitalism. Why? Because this would reduce the world’s growth rate, given the U.S.’s oversized contribution to the world technology frontier. In contrast, when Sweden switches from cutthroat to cuddly capitalism (or vice versa), this does not have an impact on the long-run growth rate of the world economy, because the important work is being done by U.S. innovation."
"Acemoglu and his colleagues are not right-wing conservatives, but their analysis poses one more challenge to an American left that has struggled to preserve basic progressive institutions – the labor movement, employee pension plans, a safety net for the poor – in the face of a corporate consensus that these programs weaken America’s ability to compete in an international marketplace. The three authors make the case that the interconnected world economy has reached what they call an “asymmetric equilibrium” in which the United States “adopts a ‘cutthroat’ reward structure, with high-powered incentives for success, while other countries free-ride on this frontier economy and choose a more egalitarian, ‘cuddly,’ reward structure.”"

The only thing in gonna say about what you posted Majiffy, and in general as well, is that the words "bigot" and "racist" are so overused and improperly used that they lost value in today's society
There are implications because the US is the cutthroat leader in innovation and technology.
Acemoglu, who is a famous economist and professor at MIT, and Verdier, who is a famous economist and director at the Paris School of Economics, have said if the US were to adopt "cuddly capitalism, this would reduce the growth rate of the entire world economy".
"We consider a canonical dynamic model of endogenous technological change at the world level with three basic features. First, there is technological interdependence across countries, with technological innovations by the most technologically advanced countries contributing to the world technology frontier, on which in turn other countries can build to innovate and grow. Second, we consider that effort in innovative activities requires incentives which come as a result of differential rewards to this effort. As a consequence, a greater gap in income between successful and unsuccessful entrepreneurs increases entrepreneurial effort and thus a country’s contribution to the world technology frontier. Finally, we assume that in each country the reward structure and the extent of social protection shaping work and innovation incentives are determined by (forward-looking) national social planners."
"The fact that the United States is the world technology leader puts constraints and limits on redistribution at the top. The global asymmetric equilibrium is at the root of the United States being the world technology leader, but the mechanism through which this matters for innovation and redistribution is the very fact that the United States is such a leader."
Bigamy is when someone marries another person despite still being married, right? As long as everyone agrees they should be allowed to do it. I wouldn't be interested in it myself but I can see why others would be.
Good thing we're talking about the half of Americans that are too dumb to understand these things, that are appealed to by neocons because they know their base is too dumb to understand these things!
None of those things you listed are inherently conservative. Uneducated, sure, but they're only grouped with conservatism because of close proximity to one another.
Also, what's wrong with bigamy if all 3 parties agree?
when will liberals stop overemphasizing idealism and calling it logic? it isnt that half of american are conservatives because theyre too dumb to understand logic.......
1- They just elected him, if you want more look at Brazil and Argentina right now 2- The FBI And by the way, it isnt all America or the west doing, stop thinking like the 1800s
President is part of the Socialist party. Socialist party is one of the leading parties in both the Senate and Congressional majority. But that doesn't change the fact that the traditional westernized nations have trampled many South American countries, resulting in their current states.

And even so; as a result of what? I highly doubt "neo-con values and legislation" is the answer to this question.
It's also Africa.
It's pretty telling that all of your major examples are not fully developed countries and have a history of economic repression by western states.
1- Lies, if it was true Chile would be really bad, not the best south american country 2- Lies- Crime in America is going down 3- Yea... look at his party

I guess no economic system works in the world for prolonged periods of time and we're all gonna meet our demise sooner or later
South america: Lets keep those americans out and make it worse for everyone [look at Chile and say Venezuela] Europe: Crime rate rising, terror and the extreme right rising, but its totally fine Africa: Do you know about the likes of mugabe
The Commonwealth Fund, in its annual survey, "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall", compares the performance of the health systems in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the U.S. Its 2007 study found that, although the U.S. system is the most expensive, it consistently underperforms compared to the other countries. A major difference between the U.S. and the other countries in the study is that the U.S. is the only country without universal health care.
South America, filled with nations that have been kept out from participating in the world economy as international policy and extended imperialism by "westernized states", resulting in underdevelopment and internal strife, as well as a heavily blossomed crime state.
Europe. That place that is totally on fir- oh wait that's just Greece and Iceland. Everyone else is totally fine. By the way; their MOST CONSERVATIVE positions are more left than our modern liberal party!
Africa; they haven't even been invited to modernization. They are still third-world countries. I'm not even sure where you're bringing this into the conversation as some kind of support; the biggest failure in Africa is Somalia, the actualization of the polar opposite of socialism. Literally everything fails in Africa.
