Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”

I can't wrap my head around how some of them can be so hateful and intolerant when they are the true soy boys.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 29 points 3 weeks ago

the only version of reality they know is on fox news, newsmax, the joe rogan experience, and am radio.

this war has been coming. they've even known its coming. but they understand it to be solely at the feet of the chinese state manipulating the markets. they think, because it's the only perspective they've ever been exposed to, 47 to be a big strong power daddy standing up to those bullies.

it has never occurred to them that the great imperial powers, russia, china, the anglosphere, are engaged in a centuries long stalemate. one that benefits no one but the people at the top. their big power daddy is not their savior, but their antichrist. their pharaoh, caesar, king, and overseer. he hates them and will make them suffer.

and i hate everyone in this thread thinking laughing at them is the play here. they turn to their churches because their churches promise to help them and accept them. i'm sick of this performative leftist bullshit. things don't get better by shaming the morons, they get better by feeding them and showing them another way. through galvanizing them against all our opressors. yeah, some are so twisted with hate you can never help them, but by not even trying to bring them to our way of seeing things you're repeating all of the same mistakes that created a malicious and uninformed public in germany that cranked out adolf eichmanns.

don't be like israelis blaming this genocide on an evil race of tormentors. be like hannah arendt blaming it on a system of manipulation of what right and wrong even is

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

Laughing at them is the only play. They will not listen to us no matter what. They deserve this, and while it sucks for the rest of us too, we might as well enjoy their suffering since they puposfully did this to us. The US is on a path to crash and burn, and the faster it does so, the sooner we can maybe start building something good again.

Oh no! If only there had been some way for farmers to know this was going to happen! Like Trump telling them it was going to happen! Or every economist in the country warning it was going to happen! Or Trump doing the same thing in his first term! WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN???

[-] TomArrr@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

It still amazes me that they are surprised. They lived through it the first time. It wasn't fake news It was their own reality.

Oh no.

The consequences of your own voting.

Just like Canada is, China is specifically targeting people who voted red and I have zero sympathy. In fact, I applaud them in this instance.

Every one of these people had more than 8 years to see what Trump was like before voting.

It’ll probably be hard for them to buy some tarifer potash and fertilizer next year after their reduced sales this harvest, but it’s what they wanted.

What's that you say? Soybeans are a complimentary crop for corn, and those same soybean farmers will now have to carry this utter loss into corn planting season? I wonder how many farmers fail this season and don't plant next season.

Just like every other time a GOP president fucked american farmers there will be a "save the farmers" bill passed that will allow agri businesses to profit and some of the smaller farms will be bought out by large companies and the fuckwit voters will cheer for Trump saving farmers from the evil foreigners.

I was about to suggest that maybe not all farmers voted for trump and thus they may not deserve the financial hardship, then I read this

"Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”

lol, gfy.

Perfectly good taxpayer subsidized food rotting in the ground, I sure feel great again. /s

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 24 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Growing up in an ag state I was shoved propaganda left and right about how great rural states were, that cities depended on us, we were the breadbasket.

Our crops? Cattle corn and soybeans.

Cattle corn, aka feed for cattle, inedible for humans, and subsidized out the ass by the gov. So much is overproduced that they literally had to find other usages for it, which is where ethanol comes from. Subsidized corn making cheap fuel to have cars run on subsidized roads.

Soybeans, also subsidizes, and what is used is mostly exported to other countries like China.

We provided very little food to our own citizens. You listen to these rural farmers though and they'll tell you up and down how gov payouts and leeches are a drain on society, hooboy do they hate them. Until it's time to get their own check.

Well, as a tofu muchin soy snackin vegan freak, I'm tempidly optimistic. Guess that fascist orange fuck is gonna lower my grocery prices after all.

And to think, all it only took was crashing the national economy, needlessly wasting soft cultural power and enacting worldwide boycotss of domestic goods to FINALLY make America great!

🙄

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

What makes you think your tofu is going to drop in price ? The supermarkets would rather let it rot, than allow you to buy it for less money.

To put that another way, you have already made it clear what price you're willing to pay. The supermarkets now have an opportunity to source the product more cheaply from farmers who are overstocked. That means more profit for the supermarket, not lower prices for you

As much as I try to maintain that these are our fellow working class folks who have been victimized(to a variable, case-by-case extent) by a lying fascist, it's nice to see karma in action.

[-] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Don't condescend to these people. They have the same satellite/cable TV and broadband internet that the rest of us have. These are educated people. Do you realize how many programs, grants, and entire colleges are focused on farmers/ranchers? Half the colleges in the south are either agriculture colleges or have agriculture programs. Even the inner city highschools have FFA programs. These people went to college and have at least 4 year college degree.
They may be awash in propaganda , so are the rest of us. But they outright defended the pedo who praised the Nazis and said he wanted to be a king. They cheered when he said that if he got elected they would never have to vote again. This is what they knowingly voted for.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

these are our fellow working class folks

The farm laborers are. But they're the ones getting harassed by our seven layer dip of paramilitary police every time they step off the plantation.

The farm owners are the same petite bourgeois pos shit sacks who gave us hard borders and bloated security state budgets and massive prison populations. They got baited by racist fear mongering - even profited from it on occasion - and only realized they'd get to the end of their rope at the end.

Bust up these farms and return them to the people who do the actual labor. Then I'll start feeling bad about farm owners.
