Love listening to and reading Michael Hudson but this is the first time I’ve seen him referred to as a futurist

"sociopath neocons sacrifice Ukrainians" I don't know what other label you'd use, but saying it's "neocons" makes it sound like it's a small specific group, rather than something endemic to the entire government.

There is a brilliant analyst here on substack, has very good analyses and mentioned all points Hudson talked about and more. There are so many intelligent people out there but everyone is busy watching MSM. Check her out: iranalysis.substack.com

Thank you so much for getting Mr Hudson onto the podcast. His perspective on current macroeconomic trends is invaluable for those of us trying to prepare for the future as best we can.

top quality "get" with this guest. Michael Hudson is simply the best. He should be a regular person's starting point, for trying to understand how the wider world works. Compared to his analysis, corporate media is an absolute JOKE. Like, embarrassingly stupid. I can't help feeling the same for their audience, sorry. Anyway, great one here. Thanks and keep it up.

I'm so sad about the peoples around the world that the United States is going to destroy...first we won't distribute vaccine recipes, now we've going to stop them from having food. I'm so ashamed of my country.

They are 100% dark triad (high functioning sociopaths), they represent the right/left sides of the liberal fascist globalist coin.

The error WE THE PEOPLE make is in thinking that “they” are just like us; “they” are not.

We The People (66% supermajority) represent differing shades of the Light-Triad.

I live in a universe of interconnections. I was in my late 60s when they labelled this a wide spectrum disorder. My wide spectrum is my universe.

In 1845 the potato blight destroyed the Irish potato crop. Ireland's economy was a landlord economy based on food export. In London Peel's Tory government fractured on whether to feed Ireland's potato eaters. Historical Marx was unknown and post genocide the Tories became liberals and conservatives and Whigism could not compete with Marxism which offered moral clarity.

The bottom quintile of Irish Society disappeared during the genocide even as Ireland's food export economy boomed during the "famine".

You can read the let them starve side of the debate in The Economist which was first class journalism in 1845 and in 2022.

It isn't my side of the debate but it is logical and reasoned.

America doesn't have a cultural divide it has a reality divide and neither side wants anything to do with the reality of reality.

Swift's Modest Proposal was written before the potato fed Irish peasants.
