  • Copypasta of my dunking:

    At the same time, cheaper Chinese exports will intensify complaints among western manufacturers about unfair competition.

    Sucks to suck 🤷 Maybe try central planning, state banking, and state-controlled means of production, thus lowering the cost of manufacturing. Maybe don’t let the Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (FIRE) sectors strip the copper out of the walls (PDF).

    “China spent 20 years destroying emerging-market competitors in the manufacturing space, or at least squeezing them out of global markets. Now it’s threatening to do the same to advanced economies’ manufacturers,” added Robertson.

    Nobody put a gun to Global North capitalists’ heads and made them offshore their manufacturing and de-industrialize their own countries.

  • William Courtney is an adjunct senior fellow at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation, and was U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan and Georgia and senior advisor at the Helsinki Commission.

    This guy is 70 years old, and from his resume it seems like he ought to know a few things, yet here we are.

  • It’s because you hid your power level.

  • I can’t believe they adopted the term tankie and wrote a whole Vincent Adultman whitepaper anchored around it. It appears to be the first paper for all three of them, at this particular think tank at least. They’re British CS/data nerds. Labor aristocrats probably with little to no class consciousness, or exposure to the humanities even.

  • Are we a joke to you?

  • I do a lot of that with no expectation that I’ll change the particular person’s mind but rather for the larger audience.
