there was also a big push for deregulation. they removed a lot of rules from industries like banking, airlines, and telecom. it was supposed to make things more competitive and efficient, but it kinda looks like it just led to monopolies and long term instability. some people even say this contributed to the 2008 crash

I can ad alot context to this, I was born in the late 1970s and got dose of both the cold war and post cold war life in america.

In the 1970s you had stagflation, The politician like nixon even did commie shit like price controls. Volker did a shock to the system and raised rates to just over 20%.

IMO this is a good thing because it helps clear bad shit off the books you can keep barrowing to stay afloat and the economic destruction helps free up capital for other projects.

The big business branch of the GOP always pushed for losing the regulations, Reagan's philosophy was the goverment makes more problems than it solves, and there was a cult like nature to it in the years after his term, people forget reagan had no problem raising taxes when it suited him.

I would recomend this book

This is a liberal professor coming to terms with trumps 2016 win, he basically outlines the issues the dem part has and the culture war and his model/thesis is still interesting to this day.

But back to your take on things. What changed wasnt just the 1980s it was the fall of the USSR and the resulting peace divided. We didnt have nuclear war hanging over our heads, we didnt need to fund such a huuge military machine.
We opened up china even more and sold them out machines for their cheap labor and willingness to pollute and poisin their own land and people.

The results at first of this was the 1990s where I spent my teenage years The cheap chinese shit have alot of material wealth to us, and the knock on effects of offshoring were building.

The 2008 crises was the results of bill clinton in 1999 repealing/mondernizing this old banking law

I was a nerd for the housing crash and while some kiwis here will repeat the bullshit that it was all caused by innocent banks being told by the big mean nigger worshipping goverment they had to give loans.

bullshit the loans were made by lending companies that were flipping them to banks to other banks to pension funds etc.

here is a white dude that runs a podcast who did a shit ton of fraud telling a story about how he did scams

Anyway hope that helpd

 

[The Big A]

The sad thing is that Russia was industrializing before the revolution and WWI, it was still lopsided in who benefitting, like any industrializing country. Given another decade or two and Russia would have eventually balanced that out, or if Kerensky's government hadn't been strangled by the Bolsheviks. Thanks Germany, good job with that one. Fucking retards.

To put it in polite terms, Kerensky was the dumbest masonic gorilla nigger to have ever lived. Aside from his inherently disloyal nature effectively threatening the Tsar into abdication, he had already defeated the Bolsheviks and had all their leaders in prison following the July Days. The July Days being the Bolsheviks first attempt at a coup that devolved into street fighting until the conspiracy was crushed. Lenin and Trotsky were both locked in cells, and the Bolsheviks were effectively decapitated across Russia. After the Kornilov affair, where he ignored his advisors begging him to calm down and not pick a fight with the army, he had the brilliant idea to release the Bolsheviks from prison and arm them to resist the military. Needless to say, arming the very people that tried to coup you out of power resulted in another, this time successful, coup within 30 days.

If you want some insane deep lore, while Germany unleased Lenin with the express intent to throw Russia into chaos, Britain and the US both agreed to facilitate Trotsky's return, with the Canadians trying to stop him before orders came down from London to let him walk. Trotsky's return to Russia was also allowed weeks before Lenin's, as Trotsky boarded his ship on March 17, and Lenin only left in early April.

There is no other explanation for a betrayal of such magnitude other than the fact that Trotsky's wealthy financiers had tendrils in both Washington and London, and were willing to potentially lose the war to secure revolution in Russia. Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution goes into great detail on this.

"The Right Want All Of Us Dead" the left chants as they hold up guillotines and severed heads

Just a reminder, these people love to trot out the old line of, "Tolerating intolerance leads to the deaths of the tolerant!"

These people would not spit on any of us if we were burning to death.

It's a new day let's check in on the browns on reddit:

They're commiting suicide.

I love this timeline

You know, many Redditors will look at this and say "man, how evil of the U.S. to deny this person the ability to stay in the country with the rest of their family."
Meanwhile, I'm looking at this as, "man, how evil and selfish of this person's family to more or less abandon them to a legal minefield just to live in the U.S."

It sucks, but people don't have the right to live in the U.S. just for existing. And if we keep perpetuating that false belief, it's going to make the U.S. the biggest shithole on the planet, and that fallout causing other countries' chance at prosperity to crater as well.

To put it in polite terms, Kerensky was the dumbest masonic gorilla nigger to have ever lived.

To be fair, when it comes to the Russian Civil War that's a tough competition. The Bolsheviks winning is one of those weird "everyone else went full retard all at once," things. Wrangle was probably the only one who wasn't retarded and that just wasn't enough. It is why I don't give Russia crap about skepticism of the West, it's not recent and it doesn't come from no where. A certain part of "Western" leadership irrationally hates Russia and is terrified by the thought of America and Russia going back to having good relations. Which we did, before the revolution.

So basically the Russian revolution and the rise of the ussr was a psyop.

Hey you're faggot who sends DMs unprompted, I'm sorry I'm not into ERP

ESL and you seem to be upset, are you okay? What frog are you today?

It's a new day let's check in on the browns on reddit:

I wish this were true, it's just a suicide bait virtue signal. The same sort of redditor that swore they would boycott reddit for le virtue points only to compulsively return an hour later is the same one to bemoan exodus or suicide while doing neither. Hollow performance

I honestly feel like Iran is the only country that Trump would remotely consider going to war on.

If I was Trump, I'd say to India, don't bring any more of your street shitting scam artists here again.

If I was Trump, I'd refuse to renegotiate anything with China. They're a Marxist economy, the things stop for any reason it's almost impossible to get re-started and will always, always, collapse outright if they do. All he has to do is smile and wait and in 6-12 months the China we know will be no more -- and I'm sure he can negotiate some AMAZING trade deals with the 3-5 successor states that China will break apart into.

I started getting into Warhammer and been lurking relevant subreddits and Grimdank is bad. There's almost always something IRL political, Coomer, or worse pro-Tau as their top posts. They're very anti-gatekeeper to a fault; they disdain older fans who aren't as down with the inclusivity retcons. They'll unironically say they want to get rid of the older fans "from OUR community".

Horus Galaxy is the counter-balance subreddit and where people who aren't down with the inclusivity retcons go when they get banned from the other Warhammer subreddits. The posts are usually better, but you'll see some bitching about Grimdank. Grimdank's also been pretty open about trying to get Horus Galaxy banned by Reddit admins so I get it, but on Reddit even mentioning another sub in a rant can be interpreted as that sub "brigading" which goes against Reddit's ToS.

All of the 40k reddits, but Grimdank especially, were taken over by r/Sigmarxism (a character in Warhammer fantasy is named Sigmar, Marxism is a failed economic philosophy by an autistic 19th century theater kid and sperglord) long ago via sock puppet accounts et all.

Every fucking customer was asking what chemicals we had that were American made at a conference I was at.

None! Nowhere Zilch! Nada! Thanks boomers, very cool

It's been a few days since "Liberation Day", enough to let everyone stew on it, it seems like many countries seem to prefer negotiating with Trumpy, notable exceptions being China and some in the EU, this is probably a good thing for literally everyone.

It seems like the real purpose of this to act as "shock therapy" to foreign countries, forcing them to the table, to make them restructure their trade relationships and tariffs with the United States, many of them realize that it would be far less painful for them to negotiate than get into a trade war.

So, in conclusion, thank fuck we are not going to live through second Great Depression, and the potential damage of "Liberation Day" has been suppressed for now, I still think we didn't have to be so cartoonishly heavy-handed if all we really wanted is to renegotiate trade, since of those tariffs were at US allies.

What makes you say that?

Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration.

If you do anything to harm this person, we will blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. We're going to blow it to smithereens. You can't do that. And there would be no more threats. There would be no more threats.

If they don't make a deal there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.

Perhaps you're reading a little too much into it?

 

[John Badman]

They pissed Russia off because they already started releasing maps moving their borders into siberia. Russians have been mass returning appliances bought from China and expressing dissatisfaction with the arrangement.

China is expecting to see half, HALF of its factories close this year. Trump fucked them into the dirt

Oh, also there’s a bunch of chink social media bitching from mercenaries who fought in Kursk and Ukraine that Russians hate them, are racist, and send them to the front line to die on purpose

Any company that opens a factory in Russia can export freely. I.e. China, going to their close ally Russia. Congrats silly. China closing their factories in China doesn’t mean shit when they’re bordering the nation where they’ll buy their next factories.

 

[DSP for president 2032]

The wife is the most resonant part of Fahrenheit 451 in retrospect. From what I recall, she sits in her living room all day watching tv melodramas with some form of slight viewer input, with the show being on huge screens taking up all the walls. She has no interest in society or the world, and what's going on in the screen occupies all of her thought and attention.

She wants that third screen, I kind of want that third screen too. I want a screen that's faster and more vivid.

She's basically a vapid bugman today with extreme parasocial tendencies who watches live streams on a screen during their free time while getting dopamine hits by inputting chat messages and donations.

Mildred would enjoy Vtubers a lot huh... she would have a favorite. Like I do...

But portraying that would hit a little too close to home. You can't commercialize an art piece for the masses if it might make them think a little bit about their life. Better to burn those pages out of the story so people don't get the wrong ideas. Wait, I think I've read a book about something like that before....

Wait a minute I read that book! I read- *simulation resets*

I still think we didn't have to be so cartoonishly heavy-handed if all we really wanted is to renegotiate trade, since of those tariffs were at US allies.

Letting your opponent stare straight into oblivion is a great negotiating tactic, especially if you're bigger and stronger than him and if you're trying to get things done in a hurry.

Since Trump took office I have lost more money than I thought possible, but I take solace in the fact that I can still buy the dip.
