Great dating advice link! I really enjoyed it.

If you’re not careful, then this left-wing Pilkington guy will brand you as trying to “sell” something too, even though Mish Shedlock and Mike Norman also work for brokerage firms of some type. Perhaps include Jonathan M.F. Catalan into this category of trying to sell propaganda when he writes one of the best economics blogs I’ve come across in a while. He seems intelligent and I think some of the points he made in this article are understandable like the fearmongering that tends to go on in more fringe groups that helps to make Austrians look bad, but what if I just don’t buy MMT or Post-Keynesian economics and find myself reading those types of blogs every so often? They obviously aren’t the same thing, even though some PKers subscribe to MMT too.
Ironically, if it weren’t for people like Peter Schiff, I would have never even heard of MMT in the first place to be quite honest. I discovered Peter through a comment someone left on the College Conspiracy video that I saw last year and only came across a lot of these economics blogs months ago while going through some anarcho-monarchist website.
If you have ever watched any of Mike Norman’s YouTube videos and saw the kinds of comments that are being posted, they can get pretty brutal and sometimes even cultish.
To add to the irony, I just clicked on Naked Capitalism again and saw an ad for Lear Capital, a precious metals company on their main page and it says this:
“Learn How to Buy and Invest in Gold Today. Get your free investor kit. Get it now.”
Don’t forget to include George Selgin, Roderick T. Long, or Steve Horwitz in the people who are trying to sell people something and contribute to the fear industry.
