The Economic Collapse of 2025 - Are you tired of winning yet?

I kept my job all through the pandemic, but that didn't prevent it from being a time of intense anguish and despair. It made me a considerably angrier, more bitter, and more cynical person.

I want revenge. I want those responsible to suffer. I wanted Trump back so that they don't get away with it.
How is any of this effective revenge? If the Flavor-Aid we're being told to drink is to hunker down and eat shit for an untold amount of time, who is really getting punished? You think it's going to impact the upper echelons that have enough squirreled away in various assets that they can cruise through whatever bullshit is coming, or don't you think this is going to fuck over the people who were just barely getting by as is? This will kill a lot of wealth and industry for sure, but the people that will feel the hurt the most are not the ones who had power to organize lockdowns.

If the mentality people have is that, "At least he's doing something," I'll grant them that, yeah, Trump calls out a lot of bullshit. But knowing that something is wrong is not the same as having a competent answer for it. You can say the exact same things about commies. They sure did a great job of acknowledging the problems in Russia, China, Best Korea, etc. Gold star there. And what did they do with that foresight? Their shitty economic fundamentals just accelerated the rot. The Russians are off dying for Putin's vanity land grab. China's lockdowns were extreme and they're probably about to massacre a bunch of their boys over Taiwan. Don't even need to go into how NK, Vietnam, and Cambodia are functional hellholes on Earth.
 
I know its bad, but that is a nigger's paw wish if I ever saw one.

Helter-Skelter generational warfare is something you may think you want, but wouldn't just confiscating houses from Blackrock, setting a maximum wage for CEOs, keeping out jeets and spics may have been better.
I'm not saying I want it, I'm saying yuros don't understand Americans, especially their capacity for violence, real violence, except this time we're done with wars for Israel. If this doesn't work because libshits put up roadblocks every step of the way we can make the Ukraine War look like like the Disney goyslop version.

And our politicians know this, so they thwart Trump's changes literally at their own peril.
 
Only because the US showed mercy, if the plan was to exterminate everyone in Vietnam or everyone in the middle east it would be easier to accomplish than trying to target small groups hidden in bushes and caves.

The real lessons of those conflicts is no half-measures.
if you started nuking everyone they would also nuke you, this may surprise you but you are not the only one with nukes.
 
Nobody is going to spend billions of dollars to rebuild American industry unless they have a good reason to believe that it will pay off in the long term. Trump raising tariffs with no larger plan and no concern for economic reality is not a good reason. It will be far safer for companies to just continue what they're doing and enjoy the higher prices.
Companies will do what they need to do to make profits. They pushed LGBT+ crap because they were getting paid to do so but the very nanosecond that they saw Trump was going to win, suddenly it was "fuck Trannies" because they knew it was going to hurt them if they kept that up.

If there is a profit to be made, they'll just go for it. Imagine pitching the idea of losing a market as big as the US to your bosses, you'd get fired instantly. "Let's just lose a big chunk of our profits guise!" doesn't sound plausible to me.

You really do have to wonder how many Kiwis leaped from Bernie to Trump. Two guys with basically zero similarities in their politics besides an anti-establishment brand identity.

But just look at what Kiwis consider so obviously right wing that it’s ridiculous to even argue:

“If you don’t support wiping out middle class portfolios, you’re not right wing.”

“If you don’t support the coastal ethnic shroomhead shooting the fat midwestern kulak ceo, you’re not right wing.”

“If you don’t heed the anti-white sexual grievances of the world’s LatinoZoomers, you’re not right wing.”

At least that last one went away.

We’ve reached the desperation stage. At this point even if this all turns out fine you guys will look stupid by advocating a return to a sort of plunder economy.
I don't know what switch flipped overnight and every American pundit and talking head is going full on accelerationism and new order.
Medvedev is useful because there's only one of him, take a breather.
 
This image alone should tell you exactly why these tariffs are necessary. The Economy shouldn't be ran on the expectation that the Average American working man should be competing with slave labor from the third world. All so these global corporations can protect their bottom line and make their stock holders happy.

The Boomers can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, walk to a place of business, stare the boss right in the eye, shake his hand firmly and ask for a job.

That’s how it works right?

Take away social security from these freeloading geezers. They can work.

I hereby nominate "we could have genocided all of you" as the most pathetic lost war cope, right after "muh nooks" and "muh kdr nigga".

Why? Argentina exports pears to the asian market and they packaged them with shit ton of sugar because they like to eat them like that mostly for consuming them in that market and then some amerimut bought it from Amazon. The main market is not america.
 
If you try to win a tradewar vs a country which does not operate as a market economy you're gonna have a bad time. There is a 0% chance China blinks first.
You're correct. I absolutely buy the idea that China will refuse to concede any ground. I believe this because their leadership believes they are the literal embodiment of heaven. I would also buy the idea that said leadership will try to lie or cheat their way out of an actual issue, fail because they've spent too long practicing face vs. actually figuring out how things work (let alone solutions), and cause a catastrophe on the Chinese homefront. This is the same government who told the rest of the world they're handling covid better than anyone else while footage was constantly leaking out, showing members of the Chinese government welding people into their homes or sending hazmat units armed with suppressed weaponry into apartment complexes. These are all valid reasons for someone like Donald Trump to go "these chinks are crazy, let's change so we aren't relying on them for anything in the future."

I'm sure the net food importer will play fuck fuck games with one of the largest food exporting nations in the world.
Imagine shilling for the chicoms and doing it for free.
 
Well, they didn't brainwash generations of Europeans into pledging lifetime loyalty to the big N for saving the vidya industry after it imploded, which is why Europe played on their Commodore 64's, ZX Spectrums and Amigas until the PC's and the PlayStations came around. No fucking wonder Nintendo sells so badly in Europe, this was the domain of Jack Tramiel and Sir Clive Sinclair.
The megadrive was huge there too, sega could launch a handheld there and it would sold out in a day out of nostalgia alone I bet
where buying used is a better value
Would buy a used gpu, most are beaten up to shit
Yeah that pic was actually from my country to show how absurd it was that we were sending our pears to fucking bang-cock for packaging to send to murrica when it could be done here or even at the destination instead of wasting fuel sending it to the ladyboys to do that
