Reminds me of this episode of Criminal minds where one of the character calls Hochner (the stereotypical straightlaced G-Man) out for being a narccisist. Then he and his entire team go around calling out all his faults "I have no sense of humor..." and he goes on for like 5 minutes then finishes "But I do listen to my team. He's clearly trying to send a message." The "List agent hochner's worst qualities" brainstorm is one of my favorite moments in the show.

In the same way, you can say a lot of things about both men, lots of legitimate criticisms including ones that they directly admit to. Just not this one specific thing they absurdly get accused of.

Think about the fact that they call guys like @RekietaLaw or Jordan Peterson, who have both been married for a long time and had multiple children incels.
People who can't maintain a healthy relationship of any kind calling people with long happy marriages incel is one of those absurdities you really have to appreciate.

"do the right thing! End your bloodline and ensure you never participate in raising the next generation of children!"
Huh... No.

Pierre Poilievre is the new leader of the conservative party in Canada. He was one of the few people in parliament supporting the trucker convoy, he's consistently spoke about balancing budgets and monetary problems.
There were a few good options, but I think he's the best. Now he just needs to win the next election.

The federal reserve was created in 1913. The real fiscal irresponsibility happened after Nixon "temporarily suspended" the convertibility of the dollar to gold, ending the Breton woods system that had been the global economic system since world war 2.
Now that isn't to say that Nixon or Reagan or any of the people after them were the very first people to be big spenders. FDR famously threatened the supreme Court in order to get his various social programs through, and many people point to Lyndon Johnson's Great society platform as the beginning of the end. Eisenhower warning us about the military industrial complex ended up being more important than we thought, not just because the military did end up with a inordinate amount of power, but because the perpetual wars and trying to pay for them ended up becoming one of the impetus for the elimination of the gold standard and ultimately the perpetual debt machine that we live in.
That being said, I think that neoliberalism and it's close friend neoconservatism ended up becoming the ideological base from which the military industrial complex was really able to ramp up. America might have been able to support strong social programs, but it couldn't support strong social programs at the same time as trying to support a military larger than the next 20 countries combined and bases in 97 countries.

No shit? It's almost like they're selling the idea of environmentalism instead of anything meaningful, and we slurp it up because it's easier to do that than to do the hard work of real shit.
I don't understand why the hatred of Hayek. Ultimately it wasn't Hayek but Keynes ideas that built the economic system for the next century. The unlimited spending and money printing is a criticism and prediction made by Hayek against the establishment, so the biggest problem is one he was explicitly against before it was widely understood.
So could you clarify somewhat?

I say it a lot, that most people don't get that Artificial Intelligence is more Artificial than Intelligent.
It appears to have miraculous results at times, but half the reason is that humans figured out the best forms of artificial to apply to specific problems to get good looking results.
