Not just hate, we have seen repeated, glaring, public proof that America's leadership is

  • Weak
  • Dishonorable 
  • Cowardly 
  • Hypocritical 
  • Uneducated 
  • Racist
  • Compulsive liars
  • Almost broke

There's more but they start to sound like synonyms after a few hundred.

[-] BeardededSquidward 4 points 5 days ago

While not the entire list, that applies not to just MAGA but to the Democrats as well. We're ruled over by conservative parties and wealthy elite.

[-] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 4 points 5 days ago

I don't distinguish my disdain for your ruling class by party affiliation. They are all awful. 

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 5 days ago

Know what, that's more than fair. Even inside it's getting harder to distinguish the two.

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Also rapists and pedos. Murderers. Cannibals.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 39 points 6 days ago

Not that equalising the trade deficit would actually make everyone's lives better in any way because it's a stupid metric to be concerned with.

It's like being concerned at the supermarket never buys anything off you. If you voice that opinion in public people would think you were weird.

I can't keep watching people act surprised about this.

Trump's administration is not trying to successfully accomplish anything. The sole and entire point is to hurt America at the behest of foreign interests. Making the world hate us is the point.

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Oh yeah it is the "foreign interests" harm you and not your own shit hole corrupt criminal settler society. You are doing this shit to yourselves because the US has always been an illegitimate genocidal settler society. You are the bad guys, stop blaming other people for your failures.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Well if you want to cast stones we learned it from corrupt criminal colonial Europeans who were doing it first. Europe is full of illegitimate genocidal settler societies. You are the bad guys. Stop blaming other people for your failures.

Sounds pretty fucking stupid right?

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I am neither American nor European. Fuck Europe. It is the origin of all the most horrible shit on earth and has no right to exist and prosper on the wealth extracted from the global south.

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

Nuance. Two things can be true. We are doing this to ourselves, but not in a vacuum. And if you want to destroy a house, the best way isn't to send a man with a hammer, it's to give the kids inside a soccer ball and tell them their parents said "play ball!"

Countless terrible groups and people have been set loose with their own individual agendas and goals, yes, but that's as part of a greater plan whose only goal is to harm America and its interests and allies.

There's plenty of blame to share, I promise.

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

There is no nuance here. It is pure projection. Your shithole yank government is the one with military bases around the world and regularly destroy other countries. You are not being manipulated by Russia or foreign governments, you are being manipulated by American born and raised billionaire Nazi's that are 100% pure American. Stop blaming other people for your failings. The idea that you are under attack is pure fiction cooked up by your literally evil masters to justify their horrific politics and violence. America's interests are and have always been violence, exploitation and extraction.

There is no nuance here

A statement wise and truthful people say all the time

[-] limelight79@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Well, that, and to enrich himself and his regime.

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 days ago

When you hire pirates to attack a ship, you expect a little looting.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Not for nothing. Trump and his friends made butt loads of money!!! And any day that money is going to come trickling down to the average Joe just like it's supposed to... any day now.

[-] BeardededSquidward 2 points 5 days ago

Ahh, here it comes now! Oh wait, that's just the same sewage.

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 24 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but now, Germany's best trading partner is China, which replaced the USA... Well done... Self-sabotage...

[-] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Germanys current economy ain't great, tho. Been in a recession the last few years. And exports to China are shrinking as well.

[-] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

Is Germany's economy based on exports to China? I feel like Germany's problems, like other European countries, lie else where

[-] bridgeburner@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Well, germanys economy is not solely reliant on exports to China, but they are significant nonetheless. Historically, we used to export a lot of cars to China, but ever since the EV boom german car manufacturers struggle because China heavily subsidizes its own car industry, making domestically produced cars much cheaper than the imported german ones. And technologically, China becomes ever more advanced so it increasingly doesn't need to import engineering equipment/machinery from germany as well.

But yeah, the decreasing exports are just one of many problems of germanys current economy.

[-] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

This is really informative, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Of course, I am not kicking Germany as many countries find themselves in difficult times.

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Well, the US is going insane with tariffs, our gas delivering country is running amok in Ukraine and our biggest cars importer decided to build cars themselves. So... Yes... Things have changed.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

How do you have a trade surplus in a consumer society? How do people not see how stupid the trade deficit excuse is? Are Americans that uneducated?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

most people dont take classes that go this deep in economy, or even economy courses. its too keep people ignorant.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

So the answer is yes.

[-] durably465@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Making everyone hate USA for peanuts. Priceless

"There are some things money can't buy; for everything else, there's Mastercard"

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

(Mastercard is getting cut out in the EU)

[-] durably465@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Not yet, that will take some times, but I will be more than happy to use a sovereign solution.

[-] NotJohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago
[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

There has got to be a long German word for the feeling which is essentially incandescent fury but at the same time sorrow/pity.

[-] HrabiaVulpes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

But think how much money it all made for mysterious shareholders! /s

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I visited one of my customers yesterday, a metal anodizing plant. Only the owner was there, he told me they had no orders to fill and that he hadn't seen anything like this since 2008
