>I don't think the OP is inherently trying to assume Cobb-Douglas, but rather show that even in Cobb-Douglas, the use of Beta is a poor indicator of inequality. It remains to be seen, but probably would be true for other models aside from Cobb-Douglas.
**Exactly** **this!** My critique is akin to a proof by contradiction. In the simple Cobb-Douglas case, which I appeal to because it is so mathematically tractable, capital to *net* output ratios are a poor predictor of income inequality since they do not describe the division of output between capital and labour in any meaningful way - rather we should focus on capital to *gross* output ratios.
>you'd need some additonal assumptions (which are not laid out) to use beta as an accurate assessment of income inequality
If by beta you mean capital to *net* output ratios (which I have labelled beta-tilde), then I do not think there are any assumptions which would make them a good indicator of inequality. Capital to *gross* output ratios (which I have labelled beta) are clearly more preferred in the benchmark Cobb-Douglas case.
I am very hard pressed to find a legitimate reason for favouring net ratios. [Piketty and Zucman (2013, p. 13)](http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/fichiers/PikettyZucman2013WP.pdf) claim they "find it more transparent to express everything in terms of net saving rates", and yet in the same paragraph they use β in β = s/g to mean K/(Y-δK) and then β in β = s/(g+δ) to mean K/Y, without making any distinction between the two, hardly transparent! See [https://imgur.com/a/ELQcBZJ](https://imgur.com/a/ELQcBZJ) for a derivation if unconvinced.
I really do not think highly of Piketty as an economist any more: either he is purposefully deceitful in pursuit of sensation or he has written a 600 page book without getting to grips with the difference between net and gross ratios - I don't know which is worse | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-07-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4TnJfYnB0bVVNdFRJMDZ4d1BsTXYwSkhpZ284b1FvV0VuelNWdzZDMVJ3dEVlUTdEZ042VDdiblhxSEoyanBGSkNsbFExTDBBdW1TNVdRWjJtQVFDdHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUYTJ5enNySEdWYXVHaWE1ZWFJM196elNlSk01X2N5Z3kxNzBZa2daVm9yUjRrRDRiM3QtcG0yejlqYlBIMEg4VzRwd3RGU1M1U19RQ2E3dWdHd29MZkVoNjVVWEdMV2pqX3lqZ01fUjl6NXFKQjlwQUQ5amYzU29veF9mVjVRelFtalFoaGUxY0xzRVNsenhwOTQ0R2VDWWtFMTZyTGFCc3NqeG55UVFVc1VheGYwRTJabTFCbjIzWWVveF9XZEdkVnpQWWFCRkxjYy1kNHFYaUZCSGt5UT09 |

Capital output ratio and inequality are equivalent in this case, because they reflect the division of output between labour ('the masses') and capital (owned by a rich 'elite'). This is how Piketty relates capital output ratios to inequality.
I ***never*** said his model is bad (it is, but that's a story for another day). I argued the representation K/Y = s'/(g+s'δ) is preferable to K/(Y-δK) = s'/g - these are two different representations of the same equation. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-07-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4ay1VMFpqdHZMeXZaRkR0TEtaNm1MZi10V2o1MlFDc0o2NmktYkNVUlhHbDQ2T09oRWpzdXZ2Z0lGWmNaSklxSXhmNUxGRzdzWk9aN1NpNHQ2VUp1UXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUTS1ZOC1kcHM1ZlF5WF9IYnRBRmd6dVlzc01yaTdlTW1ERWxDMl9WbzdUWVYzakxUSFhjT2tNckZXVmNETnVwYml2d0FEOGstVWlSRVE2dktqWWt2UWs1dGFQVGRvRzdhX3d5Qzk4SDJ3dzRaT09hbVVFSlZWaXBzODI0Y0RsTjB3Z1BseXIzUTlBcGRqOTM5ZzJqNWtNbjdSeExpODhMcm4zR2NJTDZzdjVmc2EwQVpWLUt2am5xUTNaMHpDaEIyVzFMOTVBaHhpNWpQLXRyUmFTcDZ2UT09 |
>I don't think the OP is inherently trying to assume Cobb-Douglas, but rather show that even in Cobb-Douglas,
Which is exactly my point. Read the article I linked.

I read the link you posted and the OP's article.
In the link you posted, they start with Cobb-Douglas, and because K/L is constant in that model (but not observed in reality) he moves on to a CES function. In summary:
>with a Cobb-Douglas production function, the capital and labor shares are entirely determined by the production function
The OP's paper agrees with this claim.
>"Capital's share of gross output (...) is fixed at alpha"
The issue is that, according to OP, Piketty does not stick to using capital's share of gross output, and instead switches to capital's share of net output when looking at the data.
What the OP is clarifying is that the capital share of net output measure, by itself, is not a sufficient statistic for inequality, because the labor share of net output can also increase at the same time. The two do not sum to 1, even in a Cobb-Douglas model, and there's no reason to think they would sum to one in most models. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-07-31 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4bmNIYV90SFlsMnRlNDZQckJIZ3ptQUUtYzRBS09pRjBwbkJhRjloWEF6MFZXcW5OMXlIRS1FR2xEYnlWcUxkYXdaTzF6Ul9Ib0pIa0tXcldhMFRPNVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhURFc3U3MtWUYwNnlyay1Td1c0cmNMN1psRUNHMkhoR0JaTmxtT3FrNW8xbjR3U3kyWE11ZUpWbFl4RWpRVFMxMy1Ba1lLZlplcV9MRThGM0RRa2lkd3RFdGljRHhucXVVZzd0LUpsZFFGRWhGUWU3M0ZkNGF2LUx4R3FMSVVXbjdpLURoUFktTFZyamVpbWJPZWNfcUdKTVRPVjBoT1FLQXczbGx6cVI4RktfcWNIMi10QVZvVUVQRzNLNWhWb0RKbGhWWmozUVpQTElrUU5mX1VwcU1VUT09 |

Love the paper. I think the point about emeralds though needs to be tested. A currency needs to be A) a store of value And B) readily exchangeable.
An emerald stores the value of at least the work it takes to mine coal, stone, sand to produce one emerald. An emerald can also be used to obtain goods from villagers. So it is both a store of value and readily exchangeable. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4bmRKcTl3YXhEWnFoWExfTl93VzNyejFrNlRSbDlrNWk2NElNWnBadW0yb0pURWZvbXNJM2JKLTFObFBwQXI2WVVWYmdzR2cxaHRCTjVsZEpYZVQtclE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUQmZOMG80VDU0aTRnTWtOU1FYY1dqaHJibUFWN0hWc3o1Y25oQ3pHc3lzQksxQlVnZThETFRERVUzVFpZaFMwMTlhYkVVSnNBeXZvR0twUXdDOGVUY1k4RlRLUVdsY0c4YmxMTzFuUFJfbHc1S1JCRTE2aDNKQWV0OTlNU2VUSDk1X3BuSEdVTko1RFhTaHhMNGxIU3FuTWE5ZU9YLURqUHNBTEJOdzlXN0VzTHhuQVlmcTN6TEdEWnJydHRBU01JZUM4eGEzbUJhVHdUNGJVQXRFS3d3QT09 |

The chip shortage might be a good topic, you'll probably need to study the geopolitics of the matter. The first step in that is learning the sourcing/production process for the raw materials and where the raw materials are found. The WHERE will help you figure out who's involved - governments, quasigovernment entities, corps, etc. You can direct your search from there. I'd recommend doing some searches on the above. I found some.
I don't want to just rob you of the learning experience (lol) but this is common knowledge: most of the world's silicon passes through China. Why is this? Are silicon veins really scarce? Are they all located in or around China? Can other countries mine their own silicon? How are countries and companies remedying the disruption to their domestic industries? | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-08 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4SHFDVG42c0FhMk9Vem4za01EdHJxMVRZZ2hUb1ZjU1h1WXk0WUZpQTFhMTlOVGMzUGtHNTV1VFdQWU4zVUgySTMxRXZIZW12VFBfVkI3WVBYZ0lseGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUem9QcUhrdGdOdGFma3puWGo5b2ZJZk9HMkdYWEg5ajE5SFdmS3lUNXdyMU9OcXF3WlpnS3dMMVNDRDFuMl9YQjBxZ1oyZWZfRmdBTUtFaklZTlBCMFRVeDhFUGhMaEF2dFNhRUYzWjNYV0hkUFR5QlhtVlpTaGVnb2NBTEJCWEh2aHF4ZlJ1VGxLR1Z5OVhoRGxWUmFIZGZxRFJxbFQxS01TS1Ixc0xvVE5BPQ== |

This is going to be very difficult in keeping the two parties from cutting you out and dealing direct if they require purchase agreements between all parties. Once names are exchanged then you lose all leverage on your end.
However, if they are willing to sign purchase & selling agreements to you personally or your company, that will help in finding someone to fund your venture so I would say that’s definitely the first step.
If you are able to get signed purchase/selling agreements then the finite details need to be threshed out such as transportation costs, acceptable times of pickup/delivery, how long you have to fulfill the contract for the buyer & seller, insurance cost for transporting(which will probably be required by whoever funds you), what if any currency exchange rates will be (spot price on start/end of contract or spot price on each arrival of shipment).
There are probably more variables and details that I’m leaving out but if you have these basics put together in hard binding agreements and reasonable quotes you are going to be taken much more seriously by a funder.
Now whether or not you may actually make a decent profit after the funder steps in may of course be questionable. But even if you have a threshold of 10-20% profit on the deal and end up breaking even by some unfortunate reason, you are gaining a WEALTH of experience and knowledge that will pay out down the ten-fold. It’s very admirable for someone your age to already be putting deals together so pat yourself on the back and be proud. Be persistent, humble, professional, and always keep the buyer/seller/funders perspective under consideration at all times so when you hit a wall you can properly think about how to give or get something from the other party that will make them more willing to push the wall over for you.

Hey folks! I work for an aerospace company as a Global Trade rep and our business is expanding to Qatar in order to better serve Qatar Airways.
My question is: does anybody know what export control classifications Qatar uses? I've looked all over their trade websites and can't find anything of value. Any insight would be much appreciated! | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2021-08-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4QTZjNlVBRzA5ZmoxSkhzd2F0c3RoM3o3YkJCcGhnM05fNF9vc0c4TUFhNE9VcV90TmZwdnBQMTZJLU5hZHpfc0g3SXAxSkVzVi1rQkZpQ0FSRFVIVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUYTk0d1A2bmxfOGdNcWVqczRWanlDU3BCeXF2UEFhUi1faTZCRmI5c3dnaDd2OWJqMDAzWmZldWpsWFhrMERILWlQbU9zUVp3S2NubEtXclBZNnpDODg0Ym1WUU9CUmY2cldMNklZOVh6bGZzOVpicGNSN1RZT0FTX2Y5anVkSzVWeDhYWHprWmc5QW1YNWFUempHbGN4X1pva01kSk05QjFiM2tKckFoanVmOTdkamtBVndVb1F5RWVfdEYwVFFu |

Edit: I've nearly finished my master in development economics, and now spend most of my time reading philosophy and history to get a firmer grip on how the world and life works (I took a few more months off just to focus on this). My approach is to get a firm grisp on principles that work most of the time, like 'good starting points for clear thinking'.
For economics I already started Hyman Minsky's 'John Maynard Keynes', and there is a paper on the fundamentals of Ricardo by (I believe) Bernhoven and Brown that I liked and intend to read again.
Is there a paper you'd think would add to this? | r/econpapers | post | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4VjJVT3RPTTIwTnJlM01tMUxlVWhJcDB5cWM4OWowLWdCRktmRHI5M2cwOW1mckxzV1o5UFgwZnBSMjd5X2RiRVB3S2h5dlFVZU0zelM5WlhDNmFfX1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUZVVLV3ZPZm10ODVSaGYza3R0WlZBbjBpazFrZVhSSXIzbEoyVVFJblVZMnFfLWVGUERXa3VROHpyQlk0ajluLTdjeWpadEd4VDBtMG45b2tYMlltYkVxWU9pUmdUNDkyX1p5MEJsMDVKNTJmZE1nOHJMdXJCQjctRTVDX0dPN29uN183QnBHWTBfWnBSbzliZ3NERVdUWVYxQ3FCNVYyMG1BQURrWDFqNDl6NVRLNHVrSDNla09Edjl4MlVRa2RZcHhQNnBDUXpxOTgwY2VadjhReUQ4UT09 |
The Market for "Lemons": Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism by George Akerlof. It’s not a complex paper and it illustrates a fairly simple point, but it drives home several points about the virtues and harms of information in markets.
As an academic that focuses almost exclusively on information asymmetry (and palliative disclosure mechanisms), it’s hard not to see any situation and think ‘Akerlof.’ | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4NE1mbkxYdENkR2RUaHozTV8yX2doQ1N4MXMzVng0bEpkTzJTLXpSdnVmcTZEYk9TLTIxOEMyMkdnUUtfdEtfWDJIV0FwNkh0YTU0dFpFX3Q0Vm1ZMlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUS0dqdm82WDk0NzJHUk9HNTVyTW1xaHFfeVY5TE9OQ1hRMnBlOTRSTzdqUld2VndIdUs5ZXRfdkd1V0Z0dzNoU3dyWWVxdW9TWlFTQ01FRE85ZTdVRjJ3bUxSWmt6dTdWWmpDcEh2TGtBZC1LdFVLOFUzbVBBaTM0V1ZMRVVGcU1XSzZ3bkZxNE9ncWVheDV2eC1NWHZ1TEU1OUtkbVVWZFpiYWotVDRubVZLYnVxVWhsUHhWalRBQXdmYVRIVHNmdDBpTXNYa1duQVh0UGhhaTVJdW5PZz09 |
Acemoglu's paper on colonial origins of comparative development is one of my favorites as it provides so much important yet often overlooked context to the state of modern day economies around the world. It spans both development and environmental economics and political economy and in a way crosses into every field of economics because it's focal point is to understand how economies today came to be, from the underdeveloped conquered nations to the developed colonisers who gained from them. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4SFhmQXpic0ptMm92YW5aYnlQTDZiVzJtZmVNdV96NkRFS3dBR0wweGppb1djOGQ1bGZtWmRfLTZfM0taZDNma185eHNRWkV0VU9nTU5yMzVBRy1fRGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUM3N5Nmc5dkZUYjM3YUkxQnJ3RE5DcnRyV2FWUFR1clN3MS1LTnBqYTNUbXZfTDlzdUp2R0stMXNVeGNFbU1WY2E3QXU4OTNxS0g1dV9iNFhhbXlpQmNGVlN0a1F0UlQtOWhRdEh6V3pGWDNQdDVnTGFlaXFFOUZXZnc2N1BlYjBIeF96RkJDdzRFUnJ2UXE4TDBJM0lWY1gxRHMwbVZlSVdEYVFSbGV1RmdOdmVBUlNUQlhxRm8zRTFBbFpzbG5Yb2FBX3B3R0p3aHFCZjAtOGdNYmItUT09 |

Figure IV the price of sardines axis goes from to 0 to 12. On the left of 'phones introduced' the price is mostly bouncing between 0 and 8-10.
I'm not sure how that is measured, but going as low as zero seems like an error. | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4RTlXWWV1V2dRR1dQSzNPYUpVV0t4ZUNrTDNNem44bVhPNFR3LWRZTVpYNFoxM05jUXJwMmhtbEstR0RPcTlEX2ZodFVSSWxIalhxU2R3bVJ0SEdWZ2hpTENIcHdsejFGMzA2TlZBQTJIU1k9 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUWlJBNU5McDkyU0ZFWUNsalp4VHk0bFp1WjhQMUI2MkxMWVBYVll6Mjl0dXpHUE95S0t6SzdzT1g4Z0dhRm92RUdGazhwVHEySktaNnkwWVJ1R29SSi04SW95dE5uZTdfdEJlV0pJaC1WZjNoa1REXzk2d3N5X2t2UzZHNjlxbjY4ZElZc19Cc1ppb0FXLUY2SzlGUHRXQkxLc0EwSWZnVlFOTHo4RVN3QXRVdmY4NjRHNEQwWkRQQU1PcFdaMVVfNHRaU3NZUGdKZDJLMnlPT2laWExWdz09 |
Ah, here you go:
“The graph shows that before any region had mobile phones, the degree of price dispersion across markets within a region on any given day is high, and there are many cases where the price is zero (i.e., waste). However, within a few weeks of mobile phones being introduced in region I, there is a sharp and striking reduction in price dispersion.” | r/econpapers | comment | r/EconPapers | 2021-08-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4UW91TTFtaEVwZ2F0TzdWeTFQa2xLYkhuc2JvQ0dod28zVWNGYW96YkdnOGFSb1ZtX01UY3c1M0lPaW40dmFxTndITHE0NndWSHA1RFI2QTRydzNld2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUdWk1a1pGWFRqYVUwbjNDYi1tV3EweG5aQlR3R0hsTzAxbjJYRFpzWW82TGxLRzlYMkJ1b1Rfc3BXU0hGYzd1MGRZNmRUQWJFRGRHem9hRTNyMHpFUGUxeGVyMmpvQXdySFZFZEs4c2pNaWt6M2dHM001MzJQc0hTdjRlVkpwVFdWZmpZZ2RqNkFCWkVJNVdSLWtINnhQcFB5eUhxVUtVbEo3enRpQ0xtdUFGbHNiQlk4VzhzQUlNRTlUV1pkaXhZUmVFTDlGUWhsMFh4OUJTaE1pdmVjQT09 |
Hmmm. LaLonde’s famous paper on the limitations of using controls has been an influential one in causal inference.

To keep things short, I am just looking for some ideas/brainstorming, opinions, and potentially even a partnership if someone is so inclined and is looking for someone like me to do business with.
I am originally from Russia and immigrated to the US in 2003, am 27 years old, and am a citizen of both countries and speak both languages fluently without any accent. I also partially live in St. Petersburg, Russia (my home city) and in Sarasota, Florida, as I travel between the two countries often and enjoy staying in both places for extended periods of time (for example, a few months or a couple years given the situation). As for profession, I am in software development (backend .NET dev) and currently work remotely in a fintech company.
For a long time I’ve been looking for a business opportunity that would take advantage of my background and ability to conduct business in both countries.
Ahead of what is happening in China (their fresh war on capitalism from what I’ve learned so far in the past week), a thought dawned on me - if China becomes out of the game by even 30% (or more) in terms of international trade with the USA, where is the USA going to get all of their products? What will trade begin to look like for all other countries that heavily rely on China? Will trade stay equivalent for a long time but be done via proxy-countries instead of directly with the US? How can I and a potential investor make a bunch of money as a result of potentially coming changes? Does anyone with an idea and a bunch of money want to make use of my background to kick off a business (import/export, potential services?)?
Is my thought sound or leaning towards the ridiculous? Is this worth pursuing and if so, what are some potential paths to take (or resources to get a better idea of what I am looking for)? Are there successful examples?
Any thoughts on this topic are welcome! 🙂 | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2021-09-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4VFlrclZSd3NBVkw5VElEanhqNXB1MzhXdDh1R3M0elZyOHFqVTkxZkhjaE9Jc3EzOVlBNy1QNGpBblVzVVY4Y2cyTFVEcHhxQWQwWFlxcFBVNjZUVmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUd1RBZ0l4S3oyaVZGSEJZQmNMWTlqSEIzZ1U3WDFlZ1k3S01BejhMZ2U2NHRBQTRpN3dSRlBZazlQNE4xa09sRzFZbWhwVHJiZlZPVWJyZGJHMU9DaXhUUjFsd2FtQ19MOXFfUjE1TFFYd1R5b25MMGdIc2NtdW9qYzExelhRb3FjNnJXNmlFS3kwZlRXdUw2bnlNT0tGNUhlZTl4cTdsb3pjVU1JZHRaZkhvVzlnb1Y3ZmlCOW1iVGlFM0lQd1NuVHkyNlFaMHBQcEpvSnYxa1NpaW13QT09 |

So, we just started this in my class. All the ways to break it down from classical up to the more modern. I almost started giving you the text book info.
To summarize my own opinion, its the brass tax. Another power may want international justice just as much as I do, but everyone wants something needs something. If power is defined by the ability to make someone do something that is not in their interest, Realism may be defined by the factors that make an actor not follow their own Ideals. gotta be militarily, agriculturally, structurally secure.
I would love to hear from people who disagree with me.

I'm sending some leather desk pads to the US, but not sure which would be the harmonized code for this product: 4202 / 4205 or other? Are handmade with authentic leather.

Sounds like you need to pay someone to classify this. Otherwise read the section and chapter notes, as well as WCO explanatory notes. Find a CBP ruling that matches your product as closely as possible in CROSS to support your classification, especially if it’s going to the US. | r/internationaltrade | comment | r/Internationaltrade | 2021-09-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4VWF1MkZyX0Z4aGZkRFlNZFFyMjk1X2k2WWFIWEJjdFNUT2R4NEtnVm9FQ1ZmMWV5dmR5UUh3NHhlOVgtWVhzdmtaSFpGRnY3TFdQUng1UVlReURsS3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUeTM2ZzVBcVZzQWNGTUhxTnhyWVVzMElqYVhUSVJlRVhxaTJ5akctRjJscW1sZzlUTE1IRnhJZzJnNktvTTBsTXJCWjhDUURrbXpfODhPOUtTTU41UWhTbWZoM2kxUVRsWVFpaFh2V19vcjhVSnNVNW9OXzVvUE1RV1l3QTVfMEw1N1RvUlRZSkl3bUZwWnd4WkMtdHdzeTRoR1h6LTBNMGVTTUlZc1h2Z3BCelJjZ3I3elJmVXduMFZ3aDJvTDlyaS1RT3ZHVXlpRXZHMVhrbmhXMWNNVmpBWGJScy13WV91bkJodklVR2M2WT0= |

The linked checktheleft.com article presents no evidence that the [arrested man](https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/capitol-police-arrest-knives-dnc/2021/09/13/32a65f14-14a7-11ec-a5e5-ceecb895922f_story.html) worked for the FBI. It doesn't even make that claim. The person who posted the link to `r/TheDonaldTrump2024` is the only one who does. It's a very obvious lie.
checktheleft.com is a rather interesting web site. It doesn't have articles of its own. It's a news aggregator of sorts. All of the articles are from other sources: Breitbart, Zero Hedge, National File, OAN Newsroom, etc. It's hard to tell what exactly checktheleft.com is. Maybe it's simply content theft. There's so much grift on the extreme Right that this wouldn't be much of a surprise. But maybe it's something more nefarious, a way to whitewash links and bypass spam filters. The article in question comes from The Gatway Pundit. That site is blacklisted by Reddit. Any link to it leads to automatic removal of the submission or comment.
Not only does this user brazenly lie, they also link to a banned site by using a questionable third party site to disguise the link.
The same user also crossposted the same lie and the same link to six other subs:

Reddit's [inaction on coronavirus misinformation](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/01/reddit-communities-go-dark-in-protest-over-covid-misinformation) has made it clear that we need to take a more direct role in fighting disinformation. Analyzing, educating, and debating are not enough. It's time to deplatform the sources of disinformation.
**A brief history of this subreddit.**
When I started r/DisinformationWatch, my intention was to track foreign propaganda trolls/bots, aggregate information, identify trends and narratives, and report it daily. My goal was to eventually turn it into what you might call "Disinformation Projects" - collaborating on tools to fight propaganda. Most of the activity in that respect happened behind the scenes. It was a mild success because it helped foster collaboration among researchers, journalists, and coders in a new frontier. However, other subreddits (see below) have been more active in this space.
**The new direction.**
Over the past year and a half, we - like many of you - have taken a more realistic view on fighting disinformation. I used to be a big believer in having no limits on speech. Hate, disinformation, and conspiracy theories could all be countered with free speech, I thought. I was wrong.
By hosting sources that lie for political gain, reddit and other outlets legitimize these views. We know that many folks believe whatever story or talking point - no matter how outlandish - that fits within their existing worldview.
Reddit - and other social media sites - have enabled echo chambers of alternative facts that have radicalized good people. When reddit removed NoNewNormal only after weeks of protest, they proved they will not take action unless there is immense pressure.
Our new goal is to identify the sources of disinformation and deplatform them.
**How to deplatform disinformation outlets.**
In short, the primary goal is to get disinformation subreddits banned using the [report](https://www.reddit.com/report) function. Reddit does not allow certain types of misinformation, such as [medical misinformation](https://archive.is/t32Wu). Other forms of disinformation (e.g. the big lie or climate denialism) are allowed on reddit, but it's still important to report these instances of misinformation so that there is an official record [if Congress investigates further](https://january6th.house.gov/sites/democrats.january6th.house.gov/files/2021-08-26.BGT%20to%20Reddit.pdf).
In some cases, it makes sense to find evidence of other types of rule-breaking, such as doxxing or brigading. NoNewNormal was banned for brigading, after all. But when reddit is taking no action against a growing problem, it may be necessary to contact media.
When gathering evidence, it is [crucially important to not participate](https://www.reddit.com/r/DisinformationWatch/wiki/faq#wiki_why_report_disinformation_only.3F) in the disinformation subreddits ourselves. Simply post about it here (using an archive link to document it - [not a direct link to the subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/DisinformationWatch/wiki/faq#wiki_why_only_archive_links.3F)), and report it.
**How to post on** r/DisinformationWatch
Current [posting guidelines](https://www.reddit.com/r/DisinformationWatch/wiki/faq#wiki_what_should_submissions_to_this_sub_look_like.3F) can be found in the [FAQs](https://www.reddit.com/r/DisinformationWatch/wiki/faq). Text posts must:
1. Expose a specific disinformation thread in a disinformation sub. No direct links to disinformation subs are allowed. Links to archiving subs like [https://archive.is](https://archive.is/) are required in order to preserve evidence and prevent brigading.
2. Debunk the misinformation. Often that will be easy because websites like Politifact or Skeptical Science will do the heavy lifting. It will sometimes require a little detective work, however.
In addition, we recommend that text posts contain a summary that is no longer than 500 characters. The summary can be copied and pasted into reddit's report form, which has a 500-character limit in the "optional information" field.
Screenshots of a specific disinformation thread are allowed, but these posts will be removed if the user does not comment with a submission statement. The comment must include the above requirements for text posts (summaries are encouraged here, as well). In addition, screenshots must obscure any personally identifiable information and slurs. Low-effort posts will be removed.
Other high-effort posts may be allowed, but please check the FAQs first and message the mods if you aren't sure. At worst, we'll suggest other subreddits where your post might fit in better.
**What about analyzing trends?**
This subreddit will be focused on taking action. We encourage you to submit purely analytical posts or relevant news articles to other subreddits like r/trollfare or r/Digital_Manipulation, which are focused on information gathering. Screenshots without submission statements can be posted to r/ParlerWatch.
​
We are excited for the new direction, and we can't wait to hear your feedback. If you have any thoughts, ideas, or concerns - or if you want to take on a bigger role - comment below or use the "Message the Mods" tool in the sidebar to get in touch with us. | r/disinformationwatch | post | r/DisinformationWatch | 2021-09-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4TjRjUmFfcjNGS3U3RUhsRmEyQ0dsMGdmOGJvWUNDLWJXdjJjRWxPRGNKOE5JSVJCUVpxTDlBSkpwbWkwcWE1Qy1MSE1tREVQY2VVb2RfSkZDMTlXNlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUQ194cU9VbE1Zal9HV2pzUkhfY2JHQXJ1dUJ3MEJlRzlXaWlNUHY0UUlDZnZVNlU4d2FjNFJFbzBPcjhEYXBsY01nQXk2NEhLQ3RUQ1dhVzVfZGQxSkhQTW5jX0lUaUxEU3UzZXRiOTdLV0FJZzlscjZaWWYwS2JxN2VlOGxWX1dkZmlETkhYWFFVTVFXU0lhcVNKdWQzcTExS3JTM2NHWHlGSm92YWxkOE80akJ4TmI5dTVDRDk3dFVERVEwaHpEVzdHdjZXVzRFOXAwQ095SW1WTDJBQT09 |

It's hard to overstate how ridiculous it is to post a screenshot of an abstract instead of linking to the actual paper. What sort of person does that? Certainly not the kind of person who has any respect for science or any idea how science works. There is no charitable explanation for this. This was posted by someone who wanted to score cheap political points.
The screenshot also crops off the title and the author of the paper. Surely by accident. The author's name is "Emil O. W. Kirkegaard"; the title of the paper is "Mental illness and the left"; and it was published in February 2020:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339541044_Mental_illness_and_the_left
The paper has not been peer-reviewed. None of Mr. Kirkegaard's papers have. Reputable scientific journal do not touch Mr. Kirkegaard's fabrications with a ten-foot pole.
RationalWiki has [this](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Emil_O._W._Kirkegaard) to say about Mr. Kirkegaard:
> Emil Ole William Kirkegaard (online aliases: Deleet, Deleetdk, EmilOWK) is a Danish far-right eugenicist and activist for legalising child pornography. He has a wide range of crank views and is a global-warming denier, anti-feminist, ableist, anti-vegan, homophobe, Islamophobe, transphobe and has promoted white supremacy. He is most notorious for his ableism and for calling transgender people, liberals, feminists and pretty much anyone with left-wing political views who merely disagrees with him "mentally ill".
[This](https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/1154828361836957696) is an actual tweet by Mr. Kirkegaard:
> Most eugenics was not Nazi extermination style. Most of it was sterilize dull and *mentally ill* people so they don't have (more) kids that others have to pay for and who will likely also cause more issues (and so on until regression towards the mean saves us).
So that's what Mr. Kirkegaard wants to do with "mentally ill" people. Sterilize them. For the good of mankind.
Mr. Kirkegaard's paper is based on a survey by the blog Slate Star Codex. That survey asked its self-selected participants whether they were formally diagnosed with a mental illness or whether they self-diagnosed a mental illness. The survey did not try to measure how honest the participants were about their mental health nor how much faith they put in the psychiatric system. It's quite possible that the dataset merely expresses that left-leaning readers of the Slate Star Codex are more likely to trust psychiatrists and more likely to admit that they have mental health issues. Another possible interpretation is that the readership of the Slate Star Codex is rather left-leaning and that the dataset is heavily skewed. The creator of the SSC dataset himself points these caveats out:
https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/02/12/welcome-infowars-readers/
BTW: Mr. Kirkegaard's paper was also posted to `r/science` a year ago. And promptly removed.

The claim that "leftist political ideology is associated with mental illness" is based on a non-peer-reviewed paper by a crank who is a pariah in the scientific community because of his advocacy for child pornography, eugenics, and far-right political views. The paper itself is based on a dataset that was never meant to be used in the way this crank abuses it.

Monoclonal antibodies do not provide long-term protection. They cannot be administered to people who are already hospitalized or severely ill. Regeneron, a maker of monoclonal antibodies, states "Use of REGEN-COV does not replace vaccination against COVID-19." The claim that monoclonal antibodies make vaccines superfluous is false. If anything, it would be correct to say that vaccines make monoclonal antibodies (almost) superfluous. | r/disinformationwatch | post | r/DisinformationWatch | 2021-09-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4ZHpnckRiSy1FNGtXYTNDZWZCcmh2bGpoXzA0Y3d1V1F2eG8tTVhXdGlOUFNXbUFZclpoZjBDSU1VVzNmNGxNYUVJcmRMNXo3VU1na1FsMTlKWkFuWmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUMzUzQnBaRkZLeHBTTFVsQUNYaDlUZ2h3dHd0MW1fLVFqbWpyaV92NktWalR3S0JXTmF0dm5nS2MySno1LUoxaGFrV013Wi1oc3hRck1QcUV0UmFzWjJDVnJtNHlYZEprdmlfaVp6ZGJxcjZEY1JIcVBYR0ZxYzdOUlRUdmltSXFHS0ZMaGlCcEVpbHNtVW5EeGJpcFhKREI4YUhqOURnUnJVN1RYODV1RDNPSVJxVU42T1BnQmhzMXBnUTZGY3ZUeUg2bS1UYVd4TXlKbk5wLWVEN2xFQT09 |

There are probably a whole lot more. But I got bored. They're certainly relentless liars. Apparently they think endless repetition of a lie is an adequate ersatz for truth.

In case you missed it: Yesterday Trump supporters held a rally in Washington DC. The purpose was to protest against the government holding participants of the 1/6 attack on the US Capitol as "political prisoners". [The entire premise of the "Justice for J6" rally was a lie](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jul/28/instagram-posts/defendants-jan-6-capitol-riot-arent-trespassers-th/). All of those "political prisoners" did break the law and the ones who are held without bail are being detained because they are considered violent threats.
But never mind *that* lie! The police - not wanting to be caught with their pants down again as they were on 1/6 - showed up in great numbers yesterday. The protesters did not. Maybe because they correctly anticipated that there would be a lot of police. Maybe because they don't actually care about their arrested "friends". Probably both. Either way, [there were more journalists and Police Officers than protesters](https://www.politico.com/news/2021/09/18/dc-braces-rally-jan-6-512659).
And now the spin doctors are trying to paint this pathetic showing as a victory for Trump by rewriting what happened. Crackpot [Dinesh D'Souza](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Dinesh_D%27Souza) declared that the entire rally was orchestrated and staffed by the FBI as a [Deep State](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Deep_state) conspiracy to make Trump look bad. His evidence? The video shown in the screenshot. [The video shows a man being questioned by the police](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpMYf_lo6iE). A Police Officer appears to ask the man "Are you undercover?". The man can be seen shaking his head in disagreement. He is then taken away by the police. That's it. That's the entirety of the evidence that the rally was an FBI conspiracy against Trump. There is nothing else.
And `r/AskThe_Donald` being `r/AskThe_Donald` one-ups Dinesh D'Souza's crazy by calling the man in the video "Antifa". Because he's wearing a black shirt. Because only Antifa ever wears black shirts. Or something.
EDIT:
[The person being arrested in the video is a US Customs and Border Patrol Officer](https://apnews.com/article/arrests-riots-capitol-siege-gun-politics-us-customs-and-border-protection-f35fb9ad54ac0babf710e87eaec8a4b1).

There is no evidence that the "Justice for J6" rally was organized by the FBI (as Dinesh D'Souza implies) or that it was organized by Antifa (as `r/AskThe_Donald` implies).

It's probably common knowledge by now, but here's the truth about VAERS anyway: The VAERS database records health issues people suffered shortly after receiving a vaccination. This data should *not* be taken at face value. It merely records correlation. [Correlation does not imply causation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation). The number of adverse effects that were *caused* by the vaccines is significantly lower.
Moreover, the claim that adverse effects are severely under-reported which people who willfully misinterpret VAERS often make, some of them in the `r/conspiracy` thread, is completely evidence-free and has no basis in reality. It is, in other words, a lie as well.
Since VAERS has become heavily politicized and since it has few safeguards against manipulation, it should also be assumed that at least some of the data is fake. How much, we do not know yet. Here is an example of how vulnerable VAERS is: [In 2004 a man filed a report that the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine turned him into the Hulk](https://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?IDNUMBER=541193-1).
Even worse than VAERS is OpenVAERS. OpenVAERS is not a government-run web site. It was set up by disinformation peddlers. It may contain a lot of reports VAERS wouldn't accept. The main purpose of OpenVAERS is to "accidentally" omit [VAERS' disclaimer](https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html):
> [...] While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind.

The meme in this submission willfully misinterprets the VAERS data to dramatically over-inflate the number of adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccines. Every data point in this meme is a lie.

This makes me soooo crazy!!! For God sake, we have a lot of American citizens, a lot of veterans who are currently homeless and have NO government assistance and in many cities across the US housing is either in short supply or too expensive but yet people who are NOT US citizens and who broke the law to come here get treated to everything!!! And all on the backs of the average hard working citizens of this country. This woman has been on the American tit for 20 (TWENTY) years!!!! This is beyond insane and really needs to change like now, like yesterday!!! And no more automatic citizenship for babies born here to illegals either, that’s just another magnet to draw more illegals.

True, Biden and his goon squad will make the already horrible illegal immigrant issues 100 times worse. I want to be compassionate, I really do but I just can’t be anymore because this situation is out of control and NOT at all fair to American citizens or to those who are trying & waiting to come here legally. I mean damn, immigrants who come here legally are NOT entitled to government assistance so why the hell do ILLEGALS get it? It makes NO logical sense. I think a few more years of 2 million illegals flooding into our country each year and we won’t be recognizable as the USA, American Dream country. Welcome to the USA, looking more like Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti. Sadly I think it’s now too late, things should have changed for the better decades ago regarding illegal immigration. | r/illegalimmigration | comment | r/IllegalImmigration | 2021-09-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4Tm0xaThXWDZScjFidjd3cUhYbTgtNXRvNGpuYk4zX1BsT0ZjVGtPTHF3UjZfSG9fSFlYN0RSbThDbDBrelhtcUFaWnFmSzFyd2JjQ0FRNHNTblR0Q1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUc0d4N1dtR2hwNXgybFYyVE9hSnZUUG9oVjduT3JvNUJObE9QdDJ4QjhmcWZsM1RsNVdBeWVMbUx4SHN3WEpHRE1lVU1vV2J6Q0JGXzl4bklWYXFVb1c2SFNXZ1dibjAwb1ZsbmV0dllDN2g5bnhLSm9oT3dWbXMxd2FUZzV4M055dTYtU1FPMTFCWW8zbnlQRV9VclNVLUs4Z3hKREh3bm92ZWJsS1FRTFR2RVRLWVBLUUJVQ2tZUjR2LWZJTWhHWkJfNjg4M2thVDZPTGZ0NG92TU8ybnJTdU9JbVRub2tzWTJScWNjd1lqQT0= |
America is owned by corporations. We're no longer a democracy; we are a fascist dictatorship. Corporations hire illegals because they can pay them low wages. Look at Los Angeles!! It looks like a 3RD WORLD COUNTRY!!!. There are homeless encampments growing in NYC; especially in Manhattan, crime is going up, businesses closing, etc.
And here's the icing on the shit cake: Biden is bringing in migrants FROM AFGHANISTAN; the same country was fought over a ultimately pointless war!! NONE of these people have been screened for Covid-19 or any other diseases PRIOR to entering America, Europe, or Africa.
Another question: Why are they issuing VACCINE MANDATES AND PASSPORTS to Americans, but NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!?!?!?! It's just so unfair!!
We need to stop supporting corporations that hire illegals at our expense!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! | r/illegalimmigration | comment | r/IllegalImmigration | 2021-09-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4XzQ4aFNZMVhGeFNiREZhdzRzRDA5NXNWTXY3b3dabVhZNUZiOVE0SWpUTEVOY3B5SGJFTHNtS1JJbHZIdXpVcENWcC1hUnp2dFdtMGdHNlRqUHhvNGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUc0JHNFVTTlBUVEtsRkF4dnEyRTlLS1Q1a3MxTzJYT0YyaUhyQXZ5Y1NnZGtZNlM2MVNicjMzS25WOERzdjhaVkRoWTZUZFRGdkpXMXk0TzlkRUwyb2R5VFpYd0QzMmp0b09vSWU3ajBNN0djeUJPdGduS0pHcGhjWk4welZsaDBERll3bUptSUNUNi1GZlNNWVloNkFQdmZZQkd4OV9NYU51V3M4RkRqT3Zid19tWXhsZXJUWkZ5YVVGbzQ0SFR2NkN3X0p2WmQzemVrSmF3enhSSXAwUVZ2am1TOEx0UDBjb1pYQlNha0RtZz0= |
I agree with you 100%, those of us fed up need to take whatever action we can. We need to start banning big tech like Facebook and their subsidiary WhatsApp for actually helping illegals communicate with each other & get the word out about where and when to rush our Southern borders. Honestly I’m beside myself and beyond ANGRY but what can we, the average hardworking middle class American do? I voted in the last Prez election, as did millions of others to try to keep the liberals/progressives/radicals like Biden from coming into power but then the liberals just found a way to cheat and obtain that power anyhow. I’m feeling very defeated and am wondering what country I may have to immigrate to in a few years because let’s face it, what’s happening now is NOT sustainable, this will fundamentally change the USA which I so distinctly remember Obama promising to do in one of his pre-election speeches. And I may be wrong but this whole Covid hysteria is honestly beginning to feel more like just a way for the Marxist government now in charge of the US to control the US citizens and with the help of our so called “mainstream media” control what many citizens are allowed to see and hear about. This is definitely NOT the America I grew up in and I’m so sad for our now non existent future as a democracy. What can we do? Is it too late? | r/illegalimmigration | comment | r/IllegalImmigration | 2021-09-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4YmZielBtR3lVZldwdGNmNldzbS1sV3A2OXg1dm00aTdDdGo1NUMxbDhQdVMxZFJyWHBjX1pjWjdIbmVzUExWM2ZUNlZaeWdibTdDX041ZXBPZlpOWXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUa0NLMllIZjZpak9BYWhWNDNuZHRMazRjYlJjMXNYWDRhVjlBcDc1MmduMXdCVW1vS1IxX1UxVTVmcXFTWUVJUjNxek1idzFsT3U1UFhveVJWQm1leWt5aTBDODQ1UVBMOXg3ZVZvT3Jya3A0N1BpVkRweWIxdTVCNmh5NTM5Z1dlejBXWDNSMEd5cEcySTNHeUhocmhmci1RMUExSkJtdkU4NldEOFJDX3VHbVI5eWFBTGtuXzVXSzcxenY0ZzNDX1h1X3c0Q0JEc05objNCZzhrRkhlWjE3bDhCeFNhWHF6cFhyZzlYZkRTUT0= |
I'm at a loss for words myself in regards to the future of this country and unfortunately, there are no easy answers. But we still have the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and in it, states that Americans have the right to abolish their government. When that day comes, it will be done BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!! | r/illegalimmigration | comment | r/IllegalImmigration | 2021-09-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVg4TUdpTWVNNzRobFJHcFZkdk5WTGtfcGwyTEVMSDlkT1Z1c3VHLXdUcVpDRzh0REhGX3haYXYxbFJPZFoxdjhnNlNqOGhQWjMxSHNERncxY1MyM2QxRnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm03SVhUcE5qanVuX1Z6bFFSQVNYQVlKeUh4QkVyaHF1bEc1MXpaMXZyQU1EZVZtVERQQU1QZzhnVk85Rm41WExScnd3Y2w2R0wzZVRJbFNCLVNrS0tQMXM4X1B6bElrV1hqdm11eWJURTZxSGJHWnd1WnltNXU1bEpxZnFRMjFPODI2WE5sa0g2Z3dYYkZjeVZIcHRGSlN3bFRaa0RKSk54NHRrWGNoTVFRTnJuTFNjeDZMMVZnS0N0eDhhVlpIMkNlU1NOYnpEZUpsTDk5Vl80UUk4bHE0RWtucXUyeGYwOVliTUFJSjl1ZGF0QlNYYz0= |

Yes, it's a meme but ["just joking" is no joke](https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2018/08/29/just-joking-is-no-joke-how-the-alt-right-really-communicates-online/). It is disinformation to call Biden a "Nazi". It is disinformation to call mask mandates "fascist". However, I would suggest reporting the threads as [rude, vulgar and offensive](https://www.reddit.com/report?reason=its-rude-vulgar-or-offensive) rather than as [disinformation](https://www.reddit.com/report?reason=this-is-misinformation).
Vaccine mandates are lawful, effective and based on rock-solid science:

The US has a strong Supreme Court precedent for vaccine mandates dating all the way back to 1905:
