Rather interesting,but I don't care. The folks are are struck figuring this out eventually have to deal with Sandbox Theory, and they do, I can see it in the comments. My blog will be read in any evetnt.
For example, all the banking blogs are dealing with right to coin, how you engage Congress into a longer term deal on that issue. So, no matter what the Disqus restriction, banking theory applies to right to coin, it will includes a pay off to congress. Here is Selgin's comment on Right to coin:
Well of course you are correct that the belief that fiscal (as opposed to at least nominally independent monetary) authorities will not take actions necessary to limit inflation could prove destabilizing. But I'm not convinced that it is fair to hold this against MMT. After all, a loss of confidence in the Fed's willingness to limit inflation would have the same effects. And in principle the government could embrace "automatic" inflation-control mechanisms consistent with MMT (and recommended by some MMTers) that could quell adverse expectations.I personally believe that the real weakness of MMTs plans for inflation control consists of the difficulty of establishing credible fiscal control devices.It's such weaknesses that ultimately can account for why RE poses a greater threat to an MMT-based regime than it does to the present set-up.We can see he is up against the long term contract problem, which we can solve with a direct purchase from Congress with payments over the term contract, a true time bet by the Fed, with renewal. But Disqus does not allow the comments, and Disqus is strictly a blanket censor with no brains to detect censorable content. SO I left no comment.
I think this is what Kling was talking about here.
I worry about what deplatforming signifies
The problem is Disqus. Many of the blog do not know they are part of a massive censorship program. Further, most of the restrictions come from left wing blogs, and a lot of moderate blogs which use Disqus are unaware they are banning.
I don't care. My philosophy is that there are the more intelligent discussion moderators who do get word of the new theory, and mostly agree with me. It is straight out of trade theory.
