Unfortunately.

May I recommend a book by an Economics Nobel Prize winner?

Here:

"Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics, and the Fight for a Better Future" by Paul Krugman (2020)

And maybe even better:

"Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea" by Mark Blyth - 2013

I'm not sure I get your point still, I was merely describing the arguments of one side of the aisle of my country, did it give you the impression I'm somehow pro austerity? I'm not sure how you made that jump. And you still didn't explain the bear reference. Descriptive comments aren't endorsing something.

Recommending two books to someone that asks you to explain a short expression is a bit rich though. Good luck with that.

Simple: pro-austerity people made the bear show and used similar blanket generalizations to yours.

The books debunked them.

I'm not pro austerity! I didn't even make any generalizations, my whole comment is about the position of a few political parties in my country. Are you unable to distinguish relaying the position of a third party from relaying your own beliefs?

Is the bear show the kitchen TV series? I'm still trying to understand what the heck you are referencing but I'm starting to realize you are very difficult to talk to so this is me giving up. I'm sorry I don't have more patience you seem like you know some stuff but are too preoccupied with sounding smart rather than speaking plainly.

Ad hominem all you want - but I don’t really know what to say anymore.
