I’m sure China would send us those for free.

You guys seen the entire list?

This is the king demanding tribute from ALL his vassals.

“Leave” from public view. That is all people on the right ask of Musk. They are okay with his interference and interventions. He just makes himself too much of a target by being publicly visible.

You can’t be the shadow government when you’re exposed to sunlight. Then again, the brain behind the entire operation never stepped out of the shadows and will remain there. Peter Thiel.

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I’ve only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

• The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as “catastrophic collapse”)

• It will turn out that trade was “fake and gay” all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.

I’ve never used twitter or facebook or tiktok and left reddit and 4chan. I don’t want to be part of the problem.

I want to be the ENTIRE problem.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for “activism” against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.

If you use X for your activism, you’re not an activist you’re a fed honeypot.

Typical Roman suppression against Illyrians again. Tsk Tsk.

Lol, no.

Alt-right is already declaring her a martyr and firing up their base. Even Russia chimed in, proclaiming European democracies as fake now. With absolutely zero self-awareness. Navalny-who?

Alright this is knee-jerk speculation, but the only reason I can think of for the FBI collecting evidence like this (the moving boxes) and the university not saying anything, is because it was determined Prof. Wang is a Chinese agent. It’s very unlikely ICE would come after professors, could do it silently, and someone in an area of expertise that is highly sought-after would be deported at all. And they wouldn’t include the FBI either.

America’s involvement was never secret though. And it should have been a lot more (more involvement, not “more secret”).

That dude is less funny than Trump himself.

When Canada started investigating this, Trump started his threats of invasion.

Just in case you still don’t know who the actual president is.

I support that decision. What kind of jokes could a comedian make about all of this? About the resurgence of an autocratic state on the ruins of one of the first modern democracies?

Maybe a conservative, MAGA comedian could do it. But those don’t exist. Ask yourself why.

Trump already looks 20 years older 2 months into his second presidency. Look at pictures of him yesterday. How on earth would he even run for a third term, physically I mean? He will be the oldest president EVER by the time his term ends. 2 Years older than Biden when he left. A third term would serve no one but the actual rulers Peter Thiel and Musk behind him…oh.

He seems to consider them in a vacuum.

“Prices rise, but that’s only a temporary problem for plebs refusing to buy American. Once US manufacturing catches up, they will buy American and all is well.”

That is of course incomplete and ignores the very real problem of manufacturing PARTS and raw resources also being affected. If not by Trumps tariffs, then by retaliatory ones from other countries. It also squashes your own export market. All of that together will leave prospective American factory bosses with a choice: Will they build a factory in the US and deal with higher prices and less customers, or will they build a factory in India, where they can export to every country on this planet (except the US but who cares) and have quick and cheap access to Chinese and Russian raw resources and a cheap labor pool?

Not angry, I prefer “passionate”. Well, I hope you make a difference someday.

I’m not shouting in from the outside. I’m in the US myself. The student who got grabbed off the street? She didn’t write half the shit I did. How’s that for having a stake?

If I made you mad I’ve already been helpful. You will not face the largest military on the planet on account of that military comprised by your own countrymen. Other nations such as Canadians or Europeans will not be as lucky. I would also love to be “more supportive” for direct action, if you know where to start let me know because I don’t.

If Americans were just 1% as tough as they pretend to be on the internet, Trump would have been overthrown by now.

Alas.

Wow. That is all it takes for you people to lose your balls?

Let me tell you about Wilhelm Blumberg. An ordinary citizen of Berlin, Germany, in 1934. When the OFFICIAL GERMAN GOVERNMENT (ruled by the NSDAP) put up swastika flags around his streets, Wilhelm got angry and tore them down. He was stopped by police who wanted to know what the fuck he thinks he’s doing. He answered: “What kind of bitch rag (Fotzenlappen) is this??? Let me shit on it real quick!”. He was apprehended.

Here is someone who stood up to literal Nazis. He is remembered. You however, will be forgotten. You seek safety in numbers, hoping the next impotent protest march will shield you from repercussions. You will be the first to run away when the tear gas rains down. Scampering back home and start scrolling X or tiktok or youtube or whatever baubles your rulers let you have for entertainment after a long hard day of doing nothing.

Everyone in the US, including myself, are guilty. In fact this post is mostly directed at myself. Each day where we are not shot or at least imprisoned is another day we have failed. Because it was another day of inactivity, of cowardice, of complicity. Another day where we valued our own fleeting life over liberty and justice for humanity or at least this country. That Tufts girl is disappeared because no one else did anything. You chose this. And let’s be real, you will continue to choose this.

There was one common line of defense for all defendants during the Nuremberg trials: “We only followed rules and orders”. “We didn’t know it was this bad”. “What was I supposed to do against this machine?”. Most of them got hanged. Most of us here should as well.

Oh yeah tough guy, you would have totally attacked those men and saved the damsel. Then everyone would have clapped and the mayor given you a medal.
