ABC - Absolute Bull Crap

Willy Paiforit
Dude, Seriously? Trump didn’t invent tariffs, this is an issue we’ve been hurting from for a long time. We’ve had unfair trade deals for decades in which other countries tariff us heavily, hurting our exports in order to raise more taxes. For the past few months everyone has been all exasperated that Trump was gonna hurt the country by threatening tariffs against the EU - his supporters meanwhile claimed that he was threatening it in order to force the EU to drop its current unfair tariffs, the left (and you iirc) called that silly and said he’s just trying to rip people off by having the govt get a cut of the imports - and now the president of the eu comes to the White House and folds, finally agreeing that they need to get rid of the tariffs and not impose any new ones. This was a big win for our economy.

Well you certainly have the show down pat.. yes that is the show that is being presented to everyone, and you are believing it, it looks real doesn't it? "hurting our exports"... "we've".. who is "we"? "we've had unfair trade deals"? There is no "we".. there are only people Willy, individuals being robbed by other individuals, and no Trump didn't invent this robbery, he just showed up to screw with it more. Who is this "we" you are quoting.. you are not me.. you mean because of the imaginary lines, that makes us "we"? I trade with companies, they set their price, I set my price.. same goes for everyone else. If the slaves in China get charged by their masters more for something I want to sell to them, what good does it do for the slave masters here to steal from me for the things I buy from the slaves in China? It is exactly like your kid trying to sell lemonade to the neighbors kid, but the neighbor is charging his kid an extra amount on any lemonade he buys from your kid...the neighbor wants his kid to just drink the lemonade in their fridge; so your solution to that is to punish your own kid and charge him more for any cookies the neighbor kid is selling him? You would punish your own child AND the neighbors child because the neighbor is a dick head? Why not let the neighbors kid sell your kid cookies at his price and not rob your own child? The neighbors kid is selling cookies to your child at $1 per dozen. So you threaten your child with violence and say whenever you buy a dozen cookies and give $1 to the neighbors child, your child also has to give you 25 cents OR YOU"LL GIVE HIM/HER A BEATING. You think it is better to just beat your kid every time the neighbor makes his kid charge more for lemonade to your child? Take a video of it, get on stage and smack your child around, and tell him you are doing it to protect him from unfair lemonade prices charged by the neighbors child (who is also being beaten by his parent if he doesn't pay the extra fee on the lemonade).. ultimately the neighbors child ends up just making a lot less profit or going out of business..the neighbors child was being robbed by the parent but was compensating somewhat from the loss by being able to sell cookies.. but now that you've threatened your own child with extra fees and beatings, the neighbors child doesn't make as many sales either... will that change the tune of the neighbor? The moral here Willy is that you have no right what-so-ever to beat your child or beat anyone.. everyone owns themselves.. not owning yourself is called slavery. So either respect the rights of individuals or you are part of the problem.

I'm sure you have 160+ IQ but it just goes to show how much that is worth (nothing), if you still are saying "our economy" and "we"... there is only Willy, you are not we.
the neighbor does not own his child. You do not own your child.. owning someone is slavery.
the China gang does not own their people.. Trump does not own me or you.

Ima Freeman
They are threatening us with beatings though for wanting to trade at our own prices that we set
How about your child and the neighbors child start selling lemonade and cookies using crypto currency.. that way you and your neighbor won't be able to find the money in your kids' sock drawer and beat your kids into giving you a portion. Then the kids can trade at their own prices with no record for you and your dick wad neighbor stealing a portion.
The killer app for crypto is money:
Here's a refresher in case you still think there is a "we".. the only "we" is we slaves.

Ima Freeman
How about you stay out of all the trades between you and your neighbors kid and you go talk to your neighbor, not threaten him.. how about go teach him that he doesn't own his children... they are free independent beings, smaller yes, but full rights of self ownership
beating children into submission to steal from them... does it get any worse than that? Stealing candy from babies, that's what tariff's are.

Ima Freeman
AGAIN... slowly.. there is only one "we".. we who trade voluntarily and don't use force to steal life, liberty, or property.. and then there is "them".. the people that steal value from people using force... that is the only we there is
there is the we that live within the imaginary lines of the US and China, and then there are the government gangs that live withing the imaginary lines of the US and China
"we" are in this together.. "we" are being robbed by government gangs... isolate them from your thoughts don't group with them
