My rule of thumb is that if you wouldnβt write for Das Reich, you probably also shouldnβt post on X.
At a recent conference I went to a LSE professor said βI canβt leave X, Iβve got 170K followers!β I checked, and nearly half of those were gone already - only just over 100K left.

The casual way this post dismisses legitimate criticism of the casino capitalism world we live in, coupled with the offensive and suggestive juxtaposition of a principled leftwing leader with a far-right rabble-rouser makes this possibly the worst Economist take Iβve come across.

Eh. Again, ~90% of the reason it's all politics all the time is <gestures at the daily onslaught of lawless authoritarianism>. This is not a Bluesky problem. It's a society/polity problem. We will all go back to sh*tposting about TV, cocktails, sports, music, food, & puppies in the after-times.
