  1.  @musicdev  We can't even acknowledge our settler-colonialism. The USA is truly hopeless for that sort of change.

  2. Both sides are just going to jumpstart inflation in the USA. That 60% tariff will be devastating for the USA economy.

  3. We have Chinese TV's in the USA too. I think my TCL is nearly just as good as my Samsung and was a lot cheaper.

  4. Surprised he didn't thank McDonalds for a Big Mac.

  5.  @majdakisel2261  Even more. 87% is neutral. 2/3s would be more like 66%.

  6. Its because they're super defensible. And China is fixated on destroying naval infrastructure, with carrier crackers and such. The costs of American life would be huge. Probably the bloodiest in American history.

  7. Also we'll just use VPNs.

  8. Russia should send Mexico tanks and aircraft. What’s good for US puppets is good for a country seeking independence from US Oligarchy.

  9.  @ItsukaShimotsuki  Yeah until inflation runs up and bites the head off that fantasy. Chinese goods becoming 60% more expensive is the perfect excuse for American products going up 60% as well. American domestic economics is all feelings and illogic and not based in any reality. Americans are kind of special that way.

  10. I mean they can, but they’ll have to learn how to not sanction or always have their win-lose deals, otherwise I’m sure they’ll get drummed out in short order.

  11. OMG our children might actually have to learn how to bring value to the world unlike us, who just extract it from the third world.

  12. I think it's because this show is more about the global south and the new cold war, not the internal strife of first world imperial countries.

  13.  @michaelgreen398 No, they are worried about their economic interests. Which perfectly align with the USA's actions. Damning Israel's settler colonialism would require a hard look at our settler colonialism we do here. The American standard of living is dependent on maintaining the Imperialist system that the USA has and Israel is an important tool for them and exerting the American people's will across the world.

  14. It’s actually not a thorn. It’s a full on existential threat to western imperialism. China and Russia cooperation provides an economic alternative that would render the sanctions that the USA relies on inert.

  15. I don't know. Maybe the same time they return all the Egyptian artifacts they took hundreds of years ago.

  16. As an American, I consider all of your countries our colonies too. Did we make you proud, daddy UK?

  17.  @davidlazarus67  Going green can't be done by everyday people when the product is overpriced.

  18. Martial law is not what you should be afraid of. More austerity economics is how they oppress. Not a boot on your neck, but an empty pantry and failing infrastructure.

  19. The problem with Jimmy is that he’s going full on LaRouchie. Never go full LaRouchie.

  20. The problem with capitalism is eventually you run out of public state assets to privatize/steal.

  21. Problem with the thought is it’s a slippery slope fallacy. Russia has no reason to invade Lithuania. Ukraine on the other hand, has tons. It’s been a long communicated red line for Russia. It’s been the site of ethnic cleansing of Russians. The people of Dontesk, Lugansk, and Crimea have all electorally decided to leave Ukraine and join Russia. Lithuania has done none of those things. It’s not a target of annexation by Russia.

  22. Going somewhere and talking is just an empty gesture. Trump went and talked to Kim Jong Un and that is good and all, but the point of that is detente, not just empty moves. Tulsi did the best she could there, but her time would have been better spent arguing at home for it since she didn't have the ability to follow up like Trump could have.

  23.  @charles6631  All Americans on some level kind of understand that we don't actually have a democratic republic. We have a authoritarian oligarchy represented by both main political parties, its just that we have a collective denial about it, like we're too afraid to say it out loud to each other.

  24.  @DailyBeatings  For a dogmatic nationalist, that makes sense. "My people may be poorer, but at least the money stays in my local producer's pockets." I'd argue in the USA, even if we could expand production to match, we still wouldn't lower the price. I've never seen an American capitalist turn down extra profit.

  25. Pretty much. This story is 1000 years old.

  26.  @standingalone001  Dore has had a few moments that really bugged me. I think you hit the nail on the head that he only makes arguments from nationalist angst. Fred Hampton existed in a different time where society was in a far more segregated position than now and was trying to unite people from racial differences. But the contradiction is totally different here. "Unite Black and White" is far less contradictory than "Unite Right and Left." Contrary to what racialists think, black and white can easily live in harmony. Right and Left are diametrically opposed and cannot co-exist. Say they do get mass appeal and change the system. They'll start having arguments about how economics work, and even if both sides are in total agreement about social issues, in a best case scenario you have a broken dysfunctional government just as bad as the old. Worst case, never-ending partisan violence. Which sorry, the right wingers will probably win since they have the most support from the old powers.

  27. Yeah. It’s a tax. What a tariff will do is jump the price of a Chinese good and that will be passed to the consumer. While a US company wouldn’t have to pay and the American goods will be cheaper for a very short while. But since demand doesn’t change, US companies will increase the price as well for more profit. One way or another, it is always paid by the consumer.

  28.  @ItsukaShimotsuki  Exactly. The USA is kind of screwed in the end without any major systemic change. Our constitution itself is designed to prevent even the loosest social democratic state capitalist model. Sadly, the USA seems it would rather self immolate than embrace any change.

  29.  @briansimon8969  This is the American "feels over reals" that I'm talking about. We Americans deserve every bit of inflation we get because we explicitly vote for it.

  30.  @antimattv  I'm just stating that the USA is the head of the empire. Not true?

  31.  @antimattv  I think you misunderstand me. I was just making a joke. I meant no offense.

  32. The thing in common with your front yard and back yard: you own both.

  33. I'm from Martinez and I moved to Reno in NV a while ago. Even here the winds are starting to shift away from Israel.

  34. Very true.

  35. 3:13 I literally laughed.🤣

  36. Dude, that’s some hardcore cappie cope.

  37.  @HarrySmith-hr2iv  It 100% will. Everything dies, nothing lasts forever. Hopefully it goes sooner than later.

  38. You’ve never watched one of his videos, have you?

  39.  @DailyBeatings  I'm definitely not saying you're wrong. But what I'm saying is that I am very skeptical that those local production increases will ever come. Why spend more and make less money when the government can keep putting the thumb on the scale for you? This can only be reversed by state intervention, subsidies, and what would amount to Asian Tiger style state-capitalism which the USA is extremely adverse to. However, perhaps the tide seems to be shifting on that. Companies like Intel get massive amounts for grants and subsides now. My state of Nevada basically gave Tesla 4 billion dollars for free. The US CHIPS act is definitely more of a state directed capitalistic trend.

  40. Yeah, and Obama was for socialized healthcare. Press X to doubt that shit.

  41.  @kenlawson554  That is how most get their power initially. Very few have been able to coup their way in.

  42. Lol yeah, retire with a balance in the red.

  43. They don't even need to work with Russia per se, they just need to stand up for themselves. Make agreements with the USA and Russia when they make sense and not let the USA push them around. Be non-aligned.

  44. Fascists gonna fash.

  45. Dude was a Green Beret. His job literally was to bullshit and manipulate people into doing what he wants. Anything he says, I would take with a grain of salt.

  46. That is a pathetically small amount of damage compared to the neo liberal policies of Bolsonaro that were inflicted on Brazil.

  47. Actually is probably more than 1 in 6 kids since those households have more than one kid. And that is not true. The striking majority of married or domestic partner households have children.

  48. They are awake. They just don't give a shit.

  49. He probably could have conceded Crimea, Donbass, and Luhansk to Russia. Russia probably would have been fine with them joining the EU/NATO at that point because their border would be cushioned still. Zelensky could have still sold out the rest of Ukraine to the west and kept the peace. But nope. He had to restart bombings again. Probably was told to do so by the UK or USA.

  50. Class warfare is the guide that has moved all of human history. It literally is the only true difference between humans and other animals.
