cringe

>>15562999
Literally no black man makes whites seethe harder just because he won’t be their obedient house nigger
The most based; bring on the would-be-slaveowning whitebois who don’t like a nigger with self sufficiency

>>15562999
Incredibly based

Not a libertarian but you can't deny Sowell and Friedman had some huge brainpower

>>15562999
is he some american? african american? 13% of 4% of the world?

You forget Malcolm X, and more recently, Floyd.
You forget your political caveat, anon.

crypto marxist

Sowell is my nigga but this based/cringe dichotomy is reductive and unhelpful.
Try to lead discussion about the actual content of his works and the reasons they appeal (or don't) to your sensibilities.

The first book I read of his was Race & Culture: A Worldview. The international perspective opened my eyes to patterns of behavior outside the insular US.

I think thomas makes people seethe harder because malcolm is dismissed as not being part of polite society. You can sidestep the idea by pointing to the means or tone and call it icky. Thomas can not be dismissed in such a matter, he jumped every hoop and landed higher than they did.

>>15563672
Now this makes me curious.

>>15563672
He used to be when younger, but he snapped out of it after being predictably disillusioned working for the federal government.

>>15563730
Based

>>15563097
They hate a black man who criticizes the gangster rap and victimhood cultures

>>15562999
House negro of the white establishment.

>>15562999
He should have been the first black president with Friedman as vice. Nigger culture would not exist today.

your seething only makes him stronger, tranny

>>15563866
Friedman and Sowell in charge of the country might have been enough to turn the place around. Too late now though.

>>15563541
>white-guilting crypto-racists don’t love being scolded by chiding black activists
the one thing a bitch boy liberal crypto racist hates more than anything is a black person saying they don’t need/care about them.

>>15564086
seethe dilate cope cuck simp bluepill cringe.

>>15562999
Based and empiricism-pilled.

>>15563866
Friedman already had his libertarian dream tested in Chile and it failed miserably.

he's just OK
many people here definitely just want a smart house nigger to point to when they need to justify cutting social insurance programmes because of "welfare queens" to counter claims of racism
on the other hand, many are dismissive because of his polished appearance and beliefs to the point where their refusal to even engage with his works, though not revolutionary, makes them appear to be childish brats

>>15562999
extremely cringe

>I think thomas makes people seethe harder because malcolm is dismissed as not being part of polite society.
Well you think stupidly. Sowbug defends a bankrupt system to feather his nest, like any common liberal. MX transformed over and over into something formidable until J. Edgar had to snuff him out. Now that’s seethe.

>Not a libertarian but you can't deny Sowell and Friedman had some huge brainpower
When your central theoretical claim turned out to be totally empirically wrong you shouldn't be taken serious. Around the end of his life Friedman said he would of placed less stress on the money supply but he never really admitted he was ever wrong about anything and Sowell was predicting hyperinflation around the time Obama was elected.

>>15564541
Chile isn't his prime failure... it's the fact all the major central banks tried to follow Friedmans ideas in the early 1980s, went into major recession, abandoned his targeting money growth ideas and then excessive inflation disappeared nonetheless.

>>15562999
I don't agree with everything he says, but he is extremely careful and rigorous in his writings.

You can disagree with him, but you can't deny the intellectual value of his work.

Only Humanities students who are unfamiliar with rigorous thinking would say he's ''cringe''. Even his critics are very respectful of him, just like they were of Milton Friedman.

Based. 89 years old. Still writing writing about book a year.

>>15562999
neoliberal negroid sounds kinda cringe.

>>15563866
friedmen was de facto president for almost 40 years without having to show up at the office

funny way to spell louis farrakahn

>>15565601
would make a great hip hop album title tho

>>15563845
Nobody gives a fuck about his critiques of kneegrow culture. He is hated because he's a talentless shill for neoliberal capitalism.

>>15565886
The dudes were black. Were they NoI people?
Even if so, FBI could have manipulated and set them up to assassinate him

>>15563822
He literally uses Marxist arguments when trying to argue against Marx. He tried to distance himself from Marx while still operating under the Marxist formula

>>15565920
whites won't even let blacks have their own assassinations, gotta colonize everything

>>15565957
>>15565886
Farrakhan didn’t really have a motive. The US security state did and clearly assassinated JFK and MLK

>>15565989
bro farrakhan even admitted to it

>>15566007
Compelling YouTube link, brew

>>15565989
Franken?

>>15565903
He's not even really a neoliberal though

>>15562999
Swell is based, but his fans are cringe (me included).

>>15566074
He promotes 'free-market' global capitalism. That's cringe enough for me.

Based. Very based. Second only to Friedman.

Cringe and utterly btfo

Anyone have any good reading material about the success or failure of Friedman's ideas? It seems like his defenders just claim everything that went wrong was because of government interference and his ideas were never properly tried.
