  • it also creates response tariffs. There’s a number of industries in the US that export products and are subsidized who are prime targets for foreign retaliatory tariffs: Farmers, auto workers, forestry, mining, etc. Not to mention limitations on raw material sales these industries buy

    I just don’t think Trump is clever enough to win on any international playing field. Look at how Russia and Israel play him like a fiddle. China can easily do the same with response tariffs, and they already retaliated bad enough on farmers that they needed emergency subsidies.









  • yeah its called capital accumulation, here’s how it works:

    A cabal conservative institution of international rich people don’t want to pay taxes on their enormous wealth so they’re spending some of their money to prop up nazis, religious freaks, and insane conspiracy theorists to drown out common sense economic policy and pin the blame on minorities and a departure from religious orthodoxy.

    Obviously persecuting people on these grounds makes the situation worse and people don’t want to be the next scapegoat so they fall in line (face eating leopard logic, etc.) but because we’re removing the most exploitable workers from the economy the economy spirals, creating the need for more scapegoats. Fascism in a nutshell.

    In the long term its self destructive to every society that allows it but in the short term they get another hour of power.
