FDR, Krugman, Marx, Darwin, AMLO, Robespierre, KJV bible, Dhammapada, Bob Marley, many others.
Just because you doubt the methodology does not mean the studies are biased. It just means you like to ignore evidence.
you think krugman darwin the anglican bible and robespierre would agree with your poorly thought out assertions that not wanting random change for change's sake makes people stupid?
also:
FDR was a socialist when socialism was considered a great new idea. his cousin Theodore turned over in his grave every time Franklin made america into more of a copy of european indolence and subservience.
Krugman's views are irrelevant. he is a piss poor thinker and a failed economist. he is shackled to the political views of the progressive movement and cant take a shit unless he clears it with the the International Worker's Party and the ComIntern.
Marx was a dreamer, a dilettante, and a son of privilege who urged others to rise up and overthrow the society that made his halfassed writing possible. in earlier times he would have been stoned in the town square and buried in secret so his grave didnt get violated.
Darwin was a naturalist, and a devout christian. his views on current events can only be assumed, not stated with certainty.
i have no clue what or who "AMLO" might be but thats why you threw it in the list, so you could feel smart because i dont know your dogwhistles.
Robespierre? thats the guy you think has deep thoughts on the intellectual aptitude of those who dissent from the progressive views? you are aware that he chopped heads off any who dared question his regime and paved the way for napolean's rise to power ushering in decades of war and unrest?
Dhammapada? whatever. i suppose if i dont read every obscure text you can google then i must be ignorant of all the things you think are true. if your views are consistent with this dhammapada then i assume its also mindless bullshit.
Bob Marley makes a great bassline, and had some hits, should we also inquire as to the economic views of the Jonas Brothers or Right Said Fred? perhaps Lady Gaga can share her wisdom as well?
and last but not least, as to the King James Version of the christian bible, the anglican bible (as it should be more properly described) was crafted to curtail all the things you hold dear, i reckon you need to read that twaddle again before you start claiming jesus was a marxist prophet.
the king james bible's many references to the virtue of sacrifice and poverty were a dodge, a hustle to convince the emerging Burgher class of shopkeepers and traders to surrender their newfound wealth to the church and the state lest they face the peril of their souls. these rules never applied to the ruling class or the clergy and the church. only to the masses of peasants and the upwardly mobile craftsmen and traders who were destabilizing the social structure in the medieval era.
perhaps you could opine on the Malleus Malefacarum, or the Apocrypha of Paul to prove you rate a discussion of theology with myself. after all this is the issue at hand, religious dogma disguised as political dissent. you feel better if you decry all heretics as dimwits, while the faithful are wise and just. i suppose in your narrow world view thats all that matters, how it all makes you FEEL.
