For me, "economic freedom" on a global scale means that all nations can trade with each other with little to no restrictions. This means that regional differences in prices are esentially meaningless in such a large market, and so nations are essentially locked in to producing whatever creates the greatest GDP. So a nation with lots of fertile land is going to produce cash crops to sell on the international market and use the profits to buy food from somewhere else. If a nation did anything less than maximize their GDP, they would be outcompeted by other nations in the market and subjugated by economic means
Essentially, nations are locked into producing certain things by the current prices of the market and general economic pressure
I get that the global economy produces the most economically efficient solutions on a global scale via market pressure, but it also creates extremely unbalanced systems that border on global monopolies
At the end of this, every nation produces exactly one product to sell on the market, and essentially holds a gun to the head of the world. If Neo-USA stops producing the worlds supply of planes, nobody has planes, thusly everyone is enslaved to the USA. And everyone is enslaved to each other via resource production
@zahlman That's why I said "economically" efficient.
So I'm not denying the benefits of globalization, but there are downsides to it.
Ok, so that first one, everything they said was technically correct
But costs ARE passed on to other nations via externalities
Could be environmental costs from production, health costs from pollution, whatever, because the global economy is global, the costs and benefits are going to be spread around
And obviously less powerful nations, economic or otherwise, have less means available to protect themselves from those negative consequences
@Edgy_Username The anti-white crowd has been out in force on twitter
Bringing out the old "whites are domestic terrorists" thing again
At this point, I think universal sufferage is incompatible with America
It's not functioning so good with so many fucking voices voting in opposite directions
Whites are the majority of the population, so nothing's out of the ordinary there, statistically.
So, even that bottom graph says that islam did more than everyone else combined
Is this one of those graphs that conveniently starts after 9/11?
@DanielKO They've also included some oddball incidents as "far-right"
The "2003 Salinas, Calif. Abudction, Torture, and Murder" was two hispanics killing a bisexual
Dunno how that's similar to the actual skinheads they've cited selewhere
Yeah, it only took ONE incident to change that balance
ONE islamic terrorist killed 49 people in a single incident, but it took 14 years for "far right" "terrorism" to approach the same figure
And I'm supposed to consider Islamic terrorism LESS of a threat?
Their value is also mostly deterrence, rather than active prevention
@Edgy_Username Exactly, am I supposed to consider a bunch on unrelated skinheads committing armed robbery a serious national threat?
@Deleted User Who the fuck has the TSA ever killed?
@Deleted User So the TSA should regulate motor transport now?
@Sueโจ Yeah, it's such an outlier we fought a bunch of stupid wars over it, it was a pretty big deal. Over a thousand people died because we upset some rich saudi cunt with religious pull
That's why people don't include 9/11 in these "far right attacks have killed more than islam" meme-tier infographs, because it makes the graph so damn big you can't even see the far right deaths
I do not trust airlines to handle my luggage, let alone my security
@Sueโจ I'm pretty sure the "point" was to say that islam has somehow killed less
@Deleted User I'd imagine so, but it's impossible to prove
Who knows how many insane persons have been deterred over the years by the simple idea that they'd get caught
@Edgy_Username Yeah, you guys fucked it
It ends with "Not a single death has resulted from terrorist activity by a Muslim extremist refugee."
Ah yes, not a single person known to be an enemy of the united states on religious grounds has been granted passage into the US and then carried out a lethal attack on american soil
@Sueโจ My point is that all the articles of that nature are attempting to place the blame on "far right" terrorism while minimizing the number of people killed by islamists. They obfuscate, quibble over definitions, distort data, and manipulate statistics wherever possible and the BEST they can do is the first article posted
The one where excluding that ONE time islam killed 1k+ people in a day, it still killed more than "far right" (a very inclusive group apparently) did over 15 years
And they attempt to dress it up as "Far right extremists have committed more attacks". Great, they're not very good at killing people, so by your logic we shouldn't worry about them.
@Deleted User The what now?
Yeah, it just amazes me that that one is the best of the bunch
The BEST one is "Islamists might kill more people, but far right groups attack more often"
*"Far right" includes hispanics and unaffiliated people who commit hate crimes
Only as much as everyone conspires with their own groups
It's a bunch of groups with similar and overlapping ideas and interests working toward a nebulous common goal
KKK hasn't been a serious threat since they were outcompeted by other organized crime
The number of people angry enough to drop everything and travel to Missouri to join the KKK in the hopes of lynching darkies is probably in the low hundreds
Everybody needs footsoldiers, and since few reasonable people are mad enough to risk life and limb, we get this
I'd like to kick the Bantu out of SA and fix that place up
For now all I can do is my tiny part to try to fix the busted shit we have here
I'm not so egotistical to think that my vision for what I'd like as a government should in fact be the government
@Deleted User Yeah, at this point helping white people see that they're being gaslighted into becoming self hating on a national scale is the biggest deal
Before they overextended and tossed all their peacetime gains
@Deleted User More like a country that was fucked in every concievable way that got its shit together in a decade
@Deleted User You mean like a jew thing?
Can suppress innovation by removing innovation from necessity and suppressing innovation by competitors
I'm sure it depends on what institutions and where
Islamists would control institutions in Iran and Jews would control institutions in Israel
