Or just tariff.
Thats a tarriff. Sales tax is on goods sold in the country and is usually universal regardless on product origin. Tariffs are taxes only on countries of origin to ship into the nation based on product. Regardless if it sells or not.
The issue with tariffs is it is a tax that has no benifit to the ones taxed. Income, Sales, Property taxes go towards things that benifit the payer. But hell many states dont have income or sales, and fed doesnt have sales.
benefit being relative in nature depending on the political ideology.
I don't understand why everyone wants to criticize Trump for using tariffs but then don't ever seem to care about all the other countries using tariffs against the US.
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] noteworthy that the german automakers sperged out when trump said he was introducing a new car tariff.
Despite europe charging a 25% import tariff on american cars.
And our tariff on them is gonna be 10% lower
yo boi it's my old pal Sceneable
@LordCaledus maybe they shouldn't fucking cook their books then
TOO DAMN WOKE
The thing about tariffs is most people have the concept backward. It isn't a tax on foreign companies. It is a tax on products consumed by the people in a country. The people who pay for it is the consumer.
Yes, which means purchasing these items outside of the country increases in cost.
Because it in turn affects the product's sale value.
The companies themselves will not take the hit on profit because they simply won't let it affect their profit margins.
Companies compensate, which means the cost of buying goods in a country is higher.
People really need to grasp that part of economy.
Meanwhile idiots are posting videos of Bolt interviewing Lauren and Molymeme as "Leftist host debates Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_Vs1jtYSE Scott Adams makes some good points on Q
Basically the same point I was making the other day. The only purpose Q will serve is to make Trump supporters look like idiots.
Even if Q were real, what would be the purpose of leaking things right before everyone else is going to find out anyway? What is the purpose of maintaining an air of mysticism and being so cryptic? There is no purpose, other than to create the false appearance of possessing special knowledge.
information and misinformation
he's said a few times that there's been misinformation deliberately given out for deep state to pick up
wtf is Q?

How do you folk see the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?
my head hurts
@Omsomething social democracy wants a social market economy with privately run businesses and core state enterprises and social programs to redistribute wealth and power
Democratic socialism wants a state economy/market with state run business and a forced redistribution of wealth
Hmm hmm good that seems more or less how i saw it, there has been a lot of talk about Democratic socialists being bad and living in Social Democracy it kind of got me worried that it will cause new head-aches of terms.
It already has with people like Bernie
Tbh Democratic socialims is a term meant to confuse you
There is only socialism
thats democraticly elected
even though socialism isn't democratic
e x a c t l y
I am under impression that most objections to socialism by people is that it inherently causes lack of individual rights and power gets re-attributed to few.
Huh, i wonder if US socialists are trying to appropriate Nordic culture.
When they go scandinavia is socialist they probably are
@Omsomething theyโre both pretty fucking gay
No u.
Hmm good thing i asked this never would have thought about that cultural appropriation way of seeing, if one would think of it certain way both extreme sides of socialism discussion are doing that.
Is interesting and amusing to me.
Wait is that some other academy of ideas?
IS IT GAY IF THE BALLS TOUCH?
yes
only if the balls touch
Nooo
It's only gay if balls touch chin

TFW when a book written by an American libertarian, satirized by a Hollywood leftist becomes an actual political rallying cry in Britain
hahaha
he's quoting Starship Troopers
my sides
That's actually a meme
he's like 60 years old
he wouldn't make a meme if it hit him like a truck
I'm not sure bout that one
Are you beit ageist?

yes
He has cited the "Deus Vult" meme in previous videos
he's a reposter
he doesn't even have a original background
Well I wish you kids in Englamd luck.

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 ๐ฌ๐ง ๐บ๐ธ True, Paul's got him beat on that. Though to my understanding he is responsible for representing parts of Wales, so it'd make sense to have the map around

@Legiondude I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet
and it looks photoshopped
also if they did make that original tweet they redid it without the plane
Which the imgur image title says...
@Legiondude wich is why I said I still haven't seen an archived version of that tweet
You can write anything in an imgur title

Lol Starship Troopers is older than he is.
So I looked at the SPLC website and they have a Hate Tracker. Literally claims to be exposing alt-right twitter conversations. It's kind of worrying that such a dangerous group is making lists of presumably anyone that uses a MAGA hashtag.
If anyone worndering about #ComicsGate, it's still a thing that's hilarious.
I contributed to the cause by doing my part of owning a SJW that was out and about lying and being a victim for attention.
Slapped her and her arguements, left and right.
it fun to wach comicsgate and how they cant stand that 2 creators did make more money in under 6 month then they had made in last 15 years
@Legiondude @franti https://twitter.com/ahmed/status/1026548038582513664 Account does appear to be down.
TO THE MEMERY!!
@Nordhand Someone's so salty that we kept handing this texan cosplayer Renfamous a nonstop stream of L's, she muted me and then sent people to harrass and stalk me on my social media.
Deadass, holmes.
I'd post the screencap, but I've somehow went back down to being grey.
yea they know they are failures in a dying industry and all the money is going to people much more charismatic than they ever are going to be
I'm rolling because of how low-energy and cringey it is.
Her twitter account is more successful than her instagram.
Which is protected.
I'm no hot shit myself, but I normally take a passive roll on Twitter while being more active on facebook.
this lady apparently has been trying really hard to piss in the movement's corn flakes and can't take what she gives.
most of them cant handle it when the shit comes in return
what's worse is I got them to admit that they're now stalking me to try to annoy me.
And it's as cringey as it looks.
they're hooked
keep at it
I'm balls deep innt
don't be a faggot, leaf
So far, i've been able to get them to publicly admit:
They're harrassing me because tit's personal for them
They are not to be trusted
and they are coming for me because I'm an "easier" target to discredit than Diversity& Comics and Ethan.
So many angry tweets, and so many reports.
They're gonna end up getting themselves banned.

@Nordhand Can I get a TL:DW?
he better get some lube if it goes to court
who better? victim or offender?
offender
did they ever get the security footage?
atm that is not known, the police may have it and not saying shit
it's not good
Source: I was attacked didn't bother with court
With what I know
they needed to grab the dude then and there
after the fact doesn't work
CCTV is garbage, nothing beats tackling the dude and sitting on him and calling the Police
NOTHING <:covfefe:440543908846632980>
tackle the dude and push a chair up his ass
a whole chair
well think the attacker did more or less admitt he was the guy behind it on sosial media before he did go dark and removed all his sosial media irr
I wasn't there and I understand they are Tabletop gamers
but seriously
if one guy had sat on him
and called 911
even a random dude that just goes to the bar
a local
but nowt
not one testicle in an entire bar

"If you were a black man in the 1950s, who would have a better chance at getting a job, you or a racist white man who hated black people?
The white man.
If you are a black man now, who would have a better chance at getting a job, you or a racist white man who hated black people?
You.
Therefore, you are not oppressed by racists."

Yes but no is all I have to say to that.
Facebook and friends are all platforms and not publishers. They are dancing on that line. If they go on to be publishers they lose, I assume the boards of these companies arent that stupid. They will change course soon enough. If they don't change course they will get sued out of existence.
To the point of they get massive tax breaks and the technology all comes from the military is true but that is also true for like 99% of things on the market. I don't have a huge problem with that. All these tech companies pay taxes. Probably not as much as they should but they pay taxes. Thats not even accounting for the people they employ and the shitton of taxes those people pay considering how well tech companies pay.
If you loophole them into more taxes they will leave and export the jobs they created elsewhere. It'll be the same story as exporting manufacturering to China. @Fitzydog
Fair enough response
I think he does make a few good points but I feel like the majority of what he says is almost fear mongering.
The best one is the platform vs publisher
And I 100% agree with him.
That was mostly what I was showing it for
Something I forget to mention in our conversation.
I've heard the argument before just slipped my mind.
Looks like this fight is gonna escalate
I doubt Dankula's stance on not paying his fine no matter what has changed.
Welp.
Guess the UK's gonna jail a man for mocking the Nazis.
That'll show the Nazis!
if you want to see the inside of a chinse jail , pack a few bubbles in your luggage when you go there. they are not found of missionaries of any religion there and most get turned away at the border
Bibles?
Yep more persecution
bibles are baned in china and smugling it will land you in jail
Okay, so not bubbles
but i like my bubbles
Some people don't understand literature
Uhhhh what the fuck?!
I mean that poem was exactly for the banning of Alex Jones.
Nuh uh!! That poem was against the Nazis!
Kinda. It was the government implied in the poem. But social media giants also work.
THEY'RE NOT THE NAZIS
Ehhhhhhhhh
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I want to argue that point but I am approaching the point where it's becoming almost indefensible
It's not that the tech companies don't have taxes to pay it's that they use loopholes to not have ro pay them
Make them pay what they are required by law to pay
By the final intent of the law
Close the loopholes
Be done with it
No, these states and cities literally give tax breaks in exchange for moving to their city.
@Ruggwain the problem is you would need to completly redo the tax code for example Ford has an engine plant near me the point of that plant is to loose as much money as humanly possible on paper while manufacturing the engines that they need to distribute. This is why people wonder why youtube is still around when it looses so much money it is offsetting something else to reduce the tax burden of the company.
Ffs America
If your tax system is so fucked
And the loopholes so deeply rooted
That you'd need to overhaul your entire tax code to do it
That's only more reason to do it
Yeah, people say that all the time
I wonder why <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
It won't ever be done
The people in charge of writing the tax code benefit too much from it
N i c e
And the people in charge there are barely accountable
That's what's called 'The Deep State', people in charge, who weren't elected, and stay in their position for decades
Gotta say, the implosion of the UK is honestly really funny to watch from here in the US
At long last, the American Revolution will be completed
Are you proud of us, Founding Fathers? We are completing your work!
Idk I am not a fan of losing our biggest and oldest ally
>oldest ally
That'd be France
Morocco
is our oldest ally
The UK wasn't our ally until 1942
WWI?
We were associated powers, not allies, in WWI
Relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States date back to the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Morocco remains one of America's oldest and closest allies in North Africa, a status affirmed by Morocco's zero-tolerance policy towards Al-Qaeda and their affiliated groups.
@RMS_Gigantic and admist their chaos, that's when we swoop in and **RAKE THE LEAVES**
Basically co-belligerents, and in the 1920's we made our opposition to being called allies to the British VERY clear to them
my bad one of our*
@Deleted User WAR PLAN RED BOIS
Take Australia and New Zealand too
We need more bases in the pacific
what about the weebs?
Even if you call them one of our oldest allies, I find it disingenuous given 1) that we allied them 142 years after our last alliance, 2) the British had been working against us for some 150 years until that point, and 3) the USA in general tends to prefer not to have any allies at all
So calling the British one of our oldest allies is actually moreso a reason to dump them than to keep them
but you're forced to say "one of" because it's a gap more than half the time for which the US has even existed since our previous alliance
Hell, even AS an ally they STILL found ways to work against us
we gotta dump tea into the thames
