@ChMadar Both Left & Right use threat inflation to influence the public. Each effectively debunks the other, but blind to use by own tribe.

@FabiusMaximus01 What are some good examples of Left threat inflation? I see it mainly on the Right, could be confirmation bias? -
@ChMadar Conclusion: Your thoughts on this Twitterstream reply? -
@FabiusMaximus01 You've given me food for thought! Agree w/ you re foolish 70s alarmism on population & enviro–but was it Left alarmism? -
@ChMadar Even today both Left & Right rely on fear, but of different kinds, held as tribal truths. Skepticism = heresy or apostasy. -
@FabiusMaximus01 Malthusianism splits both Left & Right... both Marx & Julian Simon anti-Malthusian... -
@ChMadar Marx died a long time ago. Modern Left is quite different, much of which Marx would abhor. Large Nietzsche component. -
@FabiusMaximus01 Yes... but are still anti-Malthusian lefties, like late Alex Cockburn. My 1st@TheNation article was anti-Malthus polemic. - 2 more replies

@ChMadar this makes us weak & divided. When many Americans value truth over tribe, reform will become possible.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
