Nope, nearly a decade old channel with regular normie shit on it. People forget that Normies literally got called NPCS for a reason and some of you lost the plot and started really thinking they are all bots

“One-way ticket to Taiwan” aren't a lot of these the same people whomdemanded the us give billions to Ukraine?
 
I feel like that would be the last option before using nukes, since there would be incredible civilian casualties if the dam breaks. Obviously civilian casualties weren't a concern with the two nukes the US dropped on Japan, but I imagine a war would have to get pretty bad before bombing the dam is on the table.
Civilian casualties actually WERE a consideration, considering we'd have to claw inch by inch of land from the beach to the capital. @Jet Fuel Johnny has a good post about it, how actually tons of lives both military and civilian on both sides were saved.
 
I do too, but Apple knows they have a lot of loyal niggercattle. I honestly would expect them to try to fuck Trump back, by funding democrats in key races, or putting out ads to their niggercattle telling them to vote against the evil orange man who is trying to take their Apple products away.
They do this all already, and it still lead to Trump winning and Mexicans wanting to make iphones instead.

US military planners projected an invasion of the Japanese mainland would cost millions of lives on both sides

dead internet theory, dead internet theory....
I've gotten to the point where for any video related to china in any way, i don't even bother looking at the comments. Never a single real person.

Frankly most of youtube is just botted to shit, it's only the inconsequential videos with relatively few views that have comments from real people.
 
I'm a doomer sometimes. It's a mentality of "if I keep my expectations at rock bottom, I can never be disappointed".
The word doomer gets used multiple different ways. The original meaning was more about being depressed about the state of the world. Especially during a time when Boomers kept saying everything was great and they don't understand what there was to be upset about. Doomer memes expressed a shared concern about the world, and alleviated loneliness by recognizing others have similar views.

Now "doomer" is used to describe somebody who is endlessly pessimistic. The fact that shills and bots also do this to demoralize, makes it more annoying. These Doomers don't actually have low expectations. If they did, they wouldn't be upset at the state of the world, because it would be what they expected. There would be no reason to complain.

A person with low expectations looks more like this:

A person who complains a lot looks like this:

If trump was a dictator we wouldn't have to worry about being betrayed by corporate fags. They are just counting the days til trump is gone, so that they can go back fleecing American people.
You mean the same corporate fags Trump sucks up to at every turn ? The same corporate fags he lowers taxes and interest rates for ? The same ones he deregulates those corporate fags.
 
It's so predictable that lolbertarians are all screaming about tariffs only for the tariffs to bring actual free trade they claimed they wanted all along. Of course they will claim they were always in support of them. Almost like they exist to prevent real progress.
I keep seeing reports that Libertarians are livid over the tariffs and I just can't believe it, why would Libertarians be upset about the tariffs of all things? It doesn't make any sense to me, if anything libertarians should be happy about the tariffs. Are there any libertarians upset about the Yemen bombings? That would actually make sense from a Libertarian point of view but being upset by the tariffs? Modern Libertarians even know what their party was originally supposed to stand for and it's pretty sad.

Libertarians are upset about tariffs because they interrupt free trade and are an economic violation of the NAP.
 
The last time I recall any country successfully setting up an industry in India was when the British set up the East India Trading Company. They had to become the second most powerful military force in the world just to keep the Indians in line.

Apple will have to do something similar if they want their venture into Pooland to work. They'll have to turn their factories into fortresses with private military contractors turning the Indian workers upside down and shaking them to see what falls out of their pockets. And even then, they'll have to set up training camps to brainwash their employees into using toilets so they don't turn the place into a fucking sewer.
Do you think it'll be as easy to get schematics and stuff snuck out Indian factories compared to Chinese?

I mean, it'll be cheaper to send bobs and vagene pictures compared to sending cash.

Lmao what timeline are you from.
Trump is going to lower taxes on the rich again. He did it his first term it's actually what he used the simple majority in the house on.
He lowered interest rates to low with the fed last term

He added a law that you can't add new regulation without taking away a piece of existing legislation making corporations harder to regulate.
