  • I don't know about God, but I do agree with the outcome.

    There are, if memory serves, quite a few examples of God punishing his chosen people and redistributing their wealth. But then you've got that whole new testament thing which really pushes the idea that everyone is the chosen people now.

    It seems to me that the only one trying to destroy the United States is the United States.

  • I don't get the goal here. It's not just that existing fabs are in Taiwan, I thought it was the knowledge was as well.

    I was under the impression that we'd built a couple of fabs here and they're not productive due to a knowledge deficit. Maybe I'm uninformed.

    It seems, to my uninformed self, that if we impose tariffs we'd be strengthening Taiwan/China relations. Wouldn't China still serve as a middle man?

    I don't see us manufacturing when the dollar is so high relative to foreign currency; add in the lack of knowledge and facilities and I'm not sure what you get.

  • Well, they've already got underlying militia organizations like the proud boys, oath keepers, and three percenters. I'm guessing this is the end of the stand by stage and the beginning of your right wing death squads.

  • I think that it was less: let's find alternatives, than it was fuck you government TikTok isn't Chinese enough. It was a direct answer to the government telling us which social media apps we were allowed to use. Also, 100% avoidable if they'd passed data protection instead. It really felt like the government enforcing private interests on its citizens.

    Americans typically don't like the government telling us what to do. It's all fine if Facebook buys all the competition, but it's another thing when the government makes the competition illegal because they won't sell to zuck or musk.

    Honestly, Redbook was sort of neat. I doubt it has much staying power as it was really just a protest, but it was sort of a historical feeling moment.
