There are two separate equations. The third panel shows the negatives cancelling.

One might call him the Jordan Peterson of the left, if one wanted to piss off everyone.

It's not exactly relevant to a modern conversation, even if the history does highlight the Overton Window and how being the "left" or "right" is still different from being a "leftist" or a "right winger" as left or right wing is usually relative to local politics and "leftist" vs "right winger" refers to broad ideologies.

I'm personally excited for the release after that, Christian Hunting Season. The evangelicals have been hyping it for a while, they're honestly so into it I'm a little worried it's a fetish thing but it certainly sounds like a good time!

No no he just needs to appease his murderous posturing!

Abbot will be satisfied with getting what he wants for no cost to him, surely.

God, I'm a political genius.

Just to be clear for those that don't know, the Autobahn was actually planned and almost entirely built by the Weimar Republic.

The economic successes are interesting because, other than their looting of the Austrian and Czech treasuries, it was actually based on a rejection of the austerity politics favored by modern conservatives and an emphasis on deficit spending, very much like in America under FDR.

Build infrastructure, build production, provide stable jobs and demand and the system will both right itself and allow you to pay your new debts.

The American model for solving the deficit was based on increasing tax revenue through the investments and the German was based on war looting, but the core idea was the same, borrow money and sink it into production.

The Germans, btw, also extensively privatized national industries during this time. Whether this was necessary or not is debatable, especially with Hitler and the Wehrmacht looking over their shoulders the whole time telling them what to do anyways, but what isn't debatable is that it outright proves they weren't socialists.

And what would you say his primary qualifications and experience were before his election?

The traditional definition of middle class was being able to afford a servant or two.

These days it's certainly well within middle class income to hire a cleaning service, have groceries delivered, etc.
