I hope we respond by putting tariffs on American pickups. Democratic nations need to cut the US out of the global economy entirely until they learn how to act right.

Apologies if there’s any weirdness in this post, it’s my first one.

    As an American, this is wacky to read–but I’m fully in support. What can i say, i think there’s some good ones here but not enough to balance out all the shite ones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It was a good run, i guess? Lol

      Sorry for the good ones but we have to start thinking about ourselves now more than ever.

        Agreed! It’s a shame it’s come to this, but i don’t blame anyone for doing what’s in their best interests in response to this. Clearly trump and leon are doing everything for their own be$t interests

      I’m sorry for the good ones, but the current actions are a huge threat to democracy worldwide, and while I think the puppet masters expect this response and globalisation is already in the process of collapsing (read The End of the World Is just the Beginning - Mapping the Collapse of Globalisation by Peter Zeihan) we can try and avoid this fate elsewhere. It is NOT inevitable that the tech bros rule us all as serfs, but getting away from Big Tech, means cutting off the US out of our digital lives as much as we can.

      Everyone here is ahead of the game 👍
