  • How did we get so casual about conspiracy theories?

  • Israel isn’t responsible for Trump remarkable attempts at destroying the US economy, USD, and the entirety of their softpower.

    No, but they helped get him elected.

    Not sure they did it on purpose, and it only affected the stupidest of Democrat voters, but any argument that the genocide in Palestine didn't impact our election is not being honest.

  • he just did it anyway

    He didn't just do it anyway. I doubt he knows which ends of a patch cable goes in the wall, and which in the computer.

    Someone who knew what he was doing, and why it was a terrible idea, verging on criminal, did it.

  • Yea, we know. When is the last time a Republican administration did anything to help regular people? Or anything that might be good for the economy?

    Doesn't happen.

  • Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs: By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.

  • History does not repeat, but sometimes it rhymes.

    This is a very obvious rhyme.

  • Starmer told UK must repeal hate speech laws to protect LGBT+ people or lose Trump trade deal

    Jump

  • I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

    But it's what he's asking, and how he's asking, not that he's asking.

  • Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

    In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

    But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

    I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.

  • That's the thing that a lot of people keep misunderstanding. If the President of the US wants a person back from what I am going to describe as "A lesser country," only for this exact moment, and not for any other case at all, he can get that person back. Send a battle group over, and ask politely.

    El Salvador does not have the ability to keep him, if we want him back.

  • As I understand it, these sweatshop jobs do resist the standard of living in the areas they are in. The people there don't have the option to work a job that we would consider good. They work the job we consider terrible, and they get paid more than they would doing other jobs.

    To make a moral judgement, we must balance between "terrible working conditions, no protections, maximum wealth extraction," on the one hand, and "no infrastructure, no job, no money" on the other. Sadly, there is no profit in making the world better for everyone.

  • The United States and China are locked in a faceoff over tariffs. No one wants to blink first

    Jump

  • Are you using the US or China as your "here?" Because I don't think it's quite that bad in the US, but I don't think anyone blames the voters in China.

  • What is it that you're concerned about? Assume that I have no idea what either the new or old Mozilla privacy policy is, please. I tend to assume that all such are a pack of lies and everything is spying on me.

  • Good on him, then.

    Honestly, even if I don't understand why he did it that way, he's at least doing something.
