You seem to be one of those people who thinks it's ok to tear things down that they don't like, regardless of who gets hurt.

I wish your type of thinking didn't exist. The world would be a much better place.

Broken systems should be fixed or replaced, is that the type of thinking you abhor?

If you prefer living in a broken system I guess you have a lot of options available. What we have been doing in America has utterly failed humanity, sounds like your making a lot of money off a failed state and don't want your income to be threatened. I wish your type of thinking didn't exist, the world would be a much better place.

lately in conversations with people who have always openly hated the US hegemony and the "western system" (and I can myself see the many issues with that system) I see a certain glee at the current state of affairs, as if they are happy that finally the pain inflicted by "the west" on third-world countries is finally coming back to haunt the US and Europe. They don't seem to think two or three steps ahead, what is the alternative they are cheering for? A russian style oligarchy? A chinese style one party dictatorship?

  • I think it's just human nature that if things are horrible for you and your family you'll want things to change and if things are good you want them to keep going. The guy above obviously is having a great time so any change to the corrupt system terrifies him.

    • "anything but the pain I'm experiencing now is better" is a short-sighted outlook. The working class will bear the bulk of the pain from these tariffs.
