Economical Sophism

The use of economic language, models, and theories to defend positions that serve wealth while appearing neutral. Economical Sophism invokes "efficiency" to justify inequality, "incentives" to defend exploitation, "growth" to excuse destruction. It's sophistry with spreadsheets: using the appearance of rigor to obscure the reality of power.

"Tax cuts for the rich will trickle down, they said—decades later, it never did. Economical Sophism: using economic theory as a promise, not a prediction. The sophistry is in the confidence: they spoke with certainty about what never happened."

Economical Postmodernism

The application of postmodern insights to economics—the recognition that economic categories, models, and truths are constructed, contingent, and always serve interests. Economical Postmodernism critiques the grand narratives of economic progress (growth, development, efficiency) as stories that hide their costs and exclude alternatives. It emphasizes the multiplicity of economic forms, the contingency of markets, and the power relations embedded in economic institutions. Economical Postmodernism is the philosophy of heterodox economics, of alternative economies, of the recognition that there is no one true economic system—only different ones, with different effects, serving different interests.

Example: "He'd been taught that capitalism was just economics—natural, inevitable, universal. Economical Postmodernism showed him otherwise: it was a constructed system, one among many, serving some interests and excluding others. Other economies were possible; other truths could be told. He stopped defending capitalism and started imagining alternatives."

Economic Blackout Day

Progressive set-up to blame Trump for the stock market crash.

Hym "So, we're just going to pretend they didn't set up an economic blackout day that same day? They serious just did that just there, didn't they? They are actively trying to make it look like he has schizophrenia- I mean, make it look like he's to blame."

Economic Collapse

That has got to be brutal!

Hym "So not only do you have to sit there for 10 years and watch me be right about everything... But you ALSO have to live in a world where I am better then you... AND NOW... You're all going to lose everything! You cheered it on when it was me. You cheered it on. You could have stopped those kids from dying and DIDN'T... EXPLICITLY BECAUSE YOU WANTED ME TO SUFFER... And now the economic collapse is on it's way! Did you learn it yet? Did you learn 'WRONG' yet? I'm still here so I GUESS NOT! You'll figure it out eventually. I mean... What does it take? What has to happen for you to understand 'YOU WRONG. ME NOT WRONG?' It's crazy! Absolute insanity! I can figure out how to create AI but I can't figure out how to teach retards 'wrong' as a concept. I don't know if that irony or what but you clearly do not 'understand it now' guys."

Economic Value

You have already sold the theory to China, Cuckerbeard and, therefore...

Hym "The economic value of said theory is set in stone. Whatever China paid when you committed an act of treason is what the theory is worth and that is only the beginning of what I'm owed. Don't let this piece of shit sacrifice your kid. You don't care that much. It isn't as important to you as it is to me."
