Similarly, you keep telling me and ks.234 that MMT is more unintuitive than mainstream macro.
MMT is basically an extension of Keynes so by definition it must be least as unintuitive as Keynes. Granted the unintuitive nature may be entirely the fault of the Keynesian parts (although I would disagree, I think the MMT part is just as unintuitive) but you still have to deal with it and have effective answers for Magic Money Tree style arguments.
And FWIW I spent literally years on here trying to explain to people how austerity was a bad idea, how national economies don't work like households, how modern money is created, etc. etc. It's essentially a full time job and as soon as you stop everyone reverts to their intuitive thinking and you have to start again. Which is exactly what happened when COVID emerged and we collectively forgot everything we learned in the GFC a handful of years earlier.
(show me a New Keynesian equivalent of 'The Deficit Myth', for example)
