Rabobank global strategist Michael Every said ongoing commentary about Trump's tariffs was missing the bigger picture.

"We're now in an era of economic statecraft where it's about national security and national interests, rather than inflation or a balanced budget. These are irrelevant points now"

This tracks with the brainwashed ignorance of the average mainstream neolib "strategist" or "analyst". They refuse to acknowledge, either through stupidity or greed, that conservatisms goal all along is to bring back feudalism, exploit the masses for personal gain, and that the fascism of MAGA is just a means to achieving this.

Nothing that Trump or his fellow fascists have done since pre-Reagan has anything to do with "national security" or interest, and everything to do with their own personal greed. They are not doing "statecraft" or 4D chess. They're committing fraud on a global scale, and crimes against humanity both domestically and abroad.

Also this is actually terrible for Australians; it's great for the Australian "economy" (the wealthy) but means more expensive beef (inflation) for consumers, which means 99% of Australians will be worse off.

100M adults are so ignorant they continuously choose not to vote at all. The D's have supported neoliberalism for the last 40 years, which holds just as much blame for destroying the middle class and spawning fascism. "towing the party line" is a cop out.

While oligarch and capitalist fueled propaganda is to blame, that doesn't change the fact that the US is now a fascist dictatorship. The American people are the only ones who can cut the cancer from their system, and it's obvious to anyone paying attention that the only way that's going to occur is if they feel enough pain to get them off their asses, take direct action, and eliminate fascism by any means necessary.

All of vulture capitalism is the cause.

It'd be hilarious if it weren't real life

Wait... You're telling me the "pedo elite" was all just projection, and conservative oligarchs are the greatest pedo's of all?

Nobody could have predicted this.

I hope that when Trump removes his tariffs (we all know he'll fold) China just fucking leaves them at 125% to cripple the nazi party.

It's fucking crazy. I hate the CCP, but I'm now rooting for them to cripple Americas economy. Their authoritarian dystopia is preferable to the American nazi parties fascist idiocracy. At least the CCP value science and education. America is on the path to a dead-end death cult, guaranteed to result in ecological collapse.

Bibi is a fascist authoritarian, a war criminal, and is so corrupt he's facing jail when he leaves office. He is no better than Hamas.

Zionism is literally religious nationalism — which shouldn't be tolerated by ANY religion — therefore Israel IS a fascist state. Society needs to stop acting like it's okay for the abused to become the abuser because they were abused. It was never okay, and it still isn't.

Didn't Trump abandon hundreds of Afghanis who worked as translators etc?

The war machine is a meat grinder. Always has been. Always will be.

Ooh! You card read good!

Nothing short of a revolution will change this global plundering by the plutocracy.

So they've just imprisoned a bunch of average law abiding immigrants, without charge?

This is supposed to be the time when all those 2nd amendment proponents exercise their rights. Instead, they're fighting for the dictatorship.

Then the suffragettes should just go back to the terrorism they chose to abandon at the start of WW1.

No taxation without representation, you fascist cuntrags!

He's in on it too, I guarantee it. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of Dems are. It explains everything.

4 years of pumping and dumping 10% gainz every 2-3 weeks would easily turn 1K into 100+K. Most of them are starting with millions.

Fun fact! You do it with 1M 25x, you now have 10.8M. You do it 50x and you exceed 100M. You manage to do it 100x total, you've turned 1 million into 1.378 billion. If this shit continues it'll be the greatest heist in history.

1*1.1^25 = 10.8

1*1.1^50 = 117

1*1.1^100 = 1378

They're all run by corporate sociopaths. You're never gonna see "nice" again from any of the plutocracy.

100%. It's been obvious from the start. This is probably the top secret part of project 2025 that is alluded to exist, but hasn't been documented anywhere.

4 years of these pump and dumps will kill off most small businesses, while enabling the nazi party and preferred oligarchs (including Putin) to consolidate and own the lions share of the market; stealing trillions from global investors and retirement funds, and attaining voting rights to control most corporations. DOGE's purpose was to eliminate and disrupt every institutions ability to document and enforce these crimes.

Again, everything that Trump and the GOP are doing is everything you would only do if you thought you'd never face repercussions, accountability, or fair elections ever again.

The world will be lucky if America escapes a fascist dictatorship via civil war. If not, it means the fascists have won and the rest of the century is gonna be so much darker than the 3-4c that's already inevitable.

I did not have "The Nazi's will outsource their gulags to El Salvador" on my fascism 2025 bingo card... I need to get more creative, or possibly criminally insane.

Under the Biden administration, ICE records show the agency deployed Clearview widely, even as officials there charged with monitoring the technology were in the dark about how it was being used and by whom.

This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.

Sure, the D's are better than the lowest bar known to man — mentally ill fascists and con artists — but fascism may have never succeeded without their own corruption, authoritarianism, and fealty to the plutocracy. They've spent decades building the most pervasive surveillance apparatus in history, collecting data from most computers on the planet, about most of the human population, and are doing nothing as the keys to the kingdom are handed to the Nazis.
