it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    I haven’t expressed any preferences or allegiances any way. All I argued with was the contention that only the “ruling class” benefit from American dominated world order. That’s plainly false.

    Next thing I know you’re wailing about killing brown people and trying to pivot the topic and telling me I’m all for imperialism and an asshole. Yes I’m ignoring your bullshit tangents and ad hominem tantrums, because that’s what they are.

    You made a claim. It’s wrong. If anyone here is too full of themselves it’s you, because you are demonstrably incapable of recognizing when you are plainly wrong, and will yell expletives at anyone who dares point out that you are.

      Your “refutation” that you act like was so decisive was just reciting Reaganite supply side economic orthodoxy. And then failing to defend any criticism of it. You can’t just spout Reaganite nonsense that’s fucked everyone and act like it’s a fucking mic drop.

        Come talk to me when the impoverished of the world stop risking life and limb to be here. You think you’re the embattled poor but by global standards you are not, and when American empire falls, you will feel it too.

        It’s that simple. Mic drop.
