> Blaming academics is just fascist garbage

isn't this flamebait?

Your initial post mirrors fascist rhetoric and is just an ideological rant.

Maybe try explaining how academics strong armed capital into deindustrializing and you’d get a better response.

The fact you went right to rules lawyering shows your weak position.

No, what you posted was flamebait: a rant against “academics” (all of them?) presented without evidence by a brand new account. This is just calling it out.
> presented without evidence

I laid out how globalism was pushed by the economic academic consensus as the enlightened approach to international relation with China.

I said that it has clearly failed to advance US interests over the past 30+ years and resulted in the decimation of the working class in America and hollowing out of the economy.

I don't think that's a rant, nor argument without evidence.

Exactly. Castigating an entire group of people as a useless, singleton hivemind.. that reeks of the stench of despicable, blind hatred.
