archgoon: We have had extremely frequent domestic terror incidents in the US recently which can be readily linked to religious and political extremism, notably the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood shootings.
- archgoon 11y agoTo me, there is a mild quantitative difference between a civil war with a death count in the hundreds of thousands and millions displaced versus a few dozen killed every year. I don't see anywhere in Piketty's theory a place to plug in "Amount of Inequality" and expected number of deaths. I'd like to see a regression plot at least.
