US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

You end up creating an incentive structure where people just throw half baked vibes at you and you play both sides of the argument.

Yeah, I viewed the Bella ciao msg as 70/30 antifash, where I would have normally presumed 95/5.

Once you can convince yourself that the guy engraving the world‘s most famous anti-fascist anthem on his assassin’s bullet is, in fact, announcing his allegiance to fascism, you can pretty much convince yourself of anything, right?

That’s what worries me. Facts being no obstacle to belief.

This is what the internet has done to us. It has given us a community – no matter who we are – where rationalizations, justifications, rebuttals, alternative facts, and workarounds will be provided to navigate any inconvenient evidence, and thus allow us to believe whatever feels best.

Children typically adopt their parents' fundamental world views, religious & political beliefs, at rates that mirror genetic trait inheritance.

gang I can’t be the only person who was raised conservative & indoctrinated with 2A stuff & then began to meet more types of people and shift who I thought needed protected etc. before my underlying structural & moral politics caught up and shifted left. i’m confused how this is confusing everyone

Best summary of the Groypers I've seen

His profile seems to fit pretty closely with the blackpill accelerationist movement which has been associated with the groypers and makes much more sense than him being part of some fictional highly trained trans death squad

A quick crash course in blackpill accelerationism: the memes are the ideology.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Also, a lot of neighbor killings aren't even political. It's often "he had a better house/car" or "he married the girl I wanted to".

fwiw the reason the epstein thing isnt a resigning issue is that, like basically everything else about trump, him being a sex criminal was already priced in

Voters were so upset with inflation & Biden's age that they voted in a candidate who's central policy goal is inflation & then dies 6 months in?

Right, but if they did (and you didn't), you'd have more of an incentive to comply. Society voted for you him to mug you.

There was corporate resistance during Trump I, it accomplished absolutely nothing because Congress wouldn't stand up to Trump.

He has a lot more power this time around,an actual administration built around him & is even more vindictive.

The things that protect them from the President are the other two branches, the voters and his own morals/how much he is willing to fight.

Nothing is holding Trump back & he relishes fighting.

Massive assymetric risks.

There's virtually no upside to fighting. They know if they do, he will punish them while the other 2 branches do nothing

Yorokobe @yorokobe.bsky.social · Aug 29
Tbf, there was a lot of corporate resistance during Trump I.

They expected Congress to back them & they didn't.

So now there's just asymmetric risk vs someone who loves fighting, isn't constrained by much while they are constrained by shareholders & their board.

Absolutely. The problem is that there're tariffs & customs on bulk orders but none for de minimis ones so suppliers break up their bulk orders into small packages.

The system wasn't setup to handle that.

They wanted to make e-commerce easier so that CBP didnt expend resources inspecting small, low value shipments and focus on higher risk ones.

What it led to was a flood of small shipments that CBP couldn't inspect and a much higher volume of illicit trade.

The intention of increasing the exception amount to $800 was to deal with the hassle.

What happened was the entire e-commerce industry structured it's business around it.

Bulk goods from China get sent to BC, get broken up into <$800 packages and shipped to the U.S.
