Remember how much shit all the chuds gave to Klaus Schwab saying "you will own nothing and be happy". It's sort of ominous semi ironic use was a rallying cry against degrowth and minimalism by way of recession that people claimed the wef wanted. The WEF was an awful boogie man and the conspiracies around them were awful btw but that is a rant for another day

Now that Trump's tariffs are the ones pricing people out luxury goods it is noble sacrifice in the name of lowering tariffs, or trade deficits or bringing back jobs or owning the boomers whatever it is this week.

Trump is doing nothing about housing the main cost of living issue for most Americans. He is stopping us from owning houses.

"Everything's gonna be more expensive, cuz everything we use is made in china!"

THAT'S THE PROBLEM

A bit late, but if China does tariff our ag exports to oblivion it'll drastically reduce grocery costs here when the farmers try to offload a metric shitton of surplus. The Don can't stop winning.

So many people are so close to connecting the dots, they just need to rub this last 2 brain cells together.

Deporting illegals -> demand for housing goes down -> cost of housing goes down

Now I wish he was deporting faster and harder, but it's progress.

I will never understand why they defend slave labor in foreign countries. They legitimately believe that paying people a fair wage is wrong. What the fuck is happening anymore I feel so disillusioned, are we seeing a party flip in real time.

It's easy to be charitable with other peoples money. It's easy to be cruel when you never have to look at the people you hurt. It's easy to disregard the environment of a place you don't live in. They made all these decisions on emotions not principles as long as they never see the cost but can continue to reap the benefits it's fine.

China has done everything they claim to hate but they never had to see it and they still don't. The real secret of the distant empathy graph is that all that empathy they have for the outsider isn't real.

I'm convinced that global warming wasn't a psyop created by the Chinese to force America and other western countries to weaken themselves.

It's not slave labor if they choose to do it which people in these countries do. Factory jobs are desirable in the third world the job options are like famrer,miner fisherman which pay worst and are harder and pay worst.

No one thinks paying people a fair wage is wrong, what defines a fair wage ? Trump is against raising minimum wage so I don't want to hear about a fair wage from him or his supporters.

I can't believe I'm seeing a party flip in my lifetime, reps are becoming pro worker and dems are becoming pro business. How does your seething hatred of 1 man make you throw away the ideals you've had developed for decades.

I blame China and Clinton. China was allowed to join the WTO in 2000. And Clinton for sign NAFTA into law. Among other things.

Liberals basically considered the WTO to be evil incarnate. When did it change, maybe around 2016? I guess we shouldn't think about it too much.

 

[Tsukasa Kadoya]

I hope Trump continues to endorse breathing.

Interesting political take.

I meant John Badman, not you mate. Sorry I should have been more specific.

Wages are a function of labor supply, not Federal law.

Those tarrifs are really pro worker, making things more expensive so workers so they have another career option 10 years from now if they're lucky is just what workers need.

It’s the idea of disrupting their order. See, the libtard only seeks comfort and pleasure. That’s their order. Ultra consumerism at slave wage costs with 2 day delivery. They have no concept or interest on knowing how things are made. Just make sure you don’t disrupt their comfort. Wages only come into play when the shitlib politician needs to rile up these retards, but ever since Trump said “no taxes on tips” they dropped that pretense.

Knowing what they value helps you identify who holds absolutely no redeeming values outside of their own immediate cooming.

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

NPCs are just meat bots. You can ignore their speech all the same.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

Factory jobs are desirable in the third world

People love it so much that 3rd world factories need to set up anti suicide measures all around their factories and worker dormitories.

Occupy wall street dems used to campaign for fighting big hedge funds ruining america, now you're defending them?

If any other president had said that the left's erection would be visible from space instead they have to doom that this is just like hitler or something

Nothing has been more painful than watching deeply avowed "leftists" I have listened to for years talk about how corporations need to be brought to their knees, their wealth and power diminished and a re-ordering of the current status quo and fully endorsing violence and an upheaval to achieve it, struggle to come up with legitimate reasons not to at least shut up and see what happens with what is happening right now.

It almost always... ALWAYS comes down to defending Troons wanting to give people under the age of (usually) 16 HRT indiscriminately as some form of argument and I have to walk away.
