Feels like many econ writers need to found their arguments better: Don't assume readers all feel the same way about income inequality
@Strange_Bundle Seems to me that "income inequality" is currently what 4chan would call a forced meme.

@St_Rev Well, I think discussing something like it predates the internet, but I get it. Unsure if "forced" accuses or merely reflects. -
@Strange_Bundle The concept goes way back. Middlebrow media's obsession with it only goes back a few years. https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22income%20inequality%22&geo=US&cmpt=q … -
@St_Rev A lot of Mittelbrau relies on stereotype, but whether or not it's recent I'm tired of this part of the syllogism being a blank. -
@Strange_Bundle The peasants don't have time or brain to understand, so just sugarcoat the conclusion and sell it. -
@St_Rev Another idea: They think this term reflects their readership's beliefs. It's easy to sell a two-word term. In which case my problem -
@St_Rev lies in where they think the valuation of the term is. As in, I see this needs to be hashed out, whatever anybody's motivation is. -
@Strange_Bundle The value is it's a weapon for D to use against R (and left-D to use against center-D). I think that's about it.

@St_Rev It seems like the forced meme idea refers to the aesthetics of the meme. Its uncanny valley. Not sure on the criteria, if any.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
