Trump is not implementing these tariffs because he thinks they will work. Well maybe he thinks so, but it’s not why he is implementing them.

He is the CEO of America, only executing the directives set by the board of directors, which in this iteration of government is The Heritage Foundation, aka the PayPal Mafia.

Their goals are not to make America wealthy. It is to strip it of resources, and hopefully break it completely apart into seperate nation states that they can swoop in and win control of with their billions of dollars.

Corporate monarchies, as detailed by Curtis Yarvin, the psycho all these billionaires subscribe to.

That is why Trump will keep doing stuff that seemingly backfires.

You’re completely right, both sides have speech they find unacceptable. But lets try to look at it a little closer, what kind of speech does the left try to ban?

Mostly stuff like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, stuff that hurts others and keeps them down. But i agree, sometimes they take that too far. I think more left leaning people should focus a lot more on economic equality and workers rights.

What kind of speech does the right want to ban? Mostly stuff about their human rights violations, as far as i can tell.

Two sides of the same coin, i guess.

It means “i’m not a racist, but i still prefer billionaires getting all the money”

You can’t just go around accusing people of being mass murderers.
