@Koba yeah it could be that two countries are winning but one is winning more than the other? Canadian Dollars are up tonight against the US Dollar
I assume new nafta is more important to canada than US, so this would make sense
@Rick I know a lot, most people I grew up with were like that
The talking point Ive always heard is that trade deals are very complex, but the lawyers negotiating components of them are negotiating niche components of them with very niche views attached to what theyre negotiating so they dont consider the bigger picture
not sure if that applies here, but the news alone will most likely drive trade weighted USD higher just given general economic confidence under Trump
@Rick From my understanding, a "racist liberal" is someone who isn't particularly conservative, just hates immigration
I'm kind of a racist liberal tbh
@Koba I agree, I am shorting gold because it's a standard for the USD to go up against
I hate the word conservative. I prefer traditional.
Gold has been being beaten up lately, first with the fed rate hike last week and then strengthening USD and CAD tonight
I wouldn't mind a social democracy but with white people
yeah USD trade weighted has an inverse relationship with gold almost all of the time
there are rare circumstances in which a pairs trade with both gold and USD will net a profit
@Rick I don't like the word "conservative" either. I associate it with anti-intellectual types.
A "conservative" sounds like a guy who rambles about low taxes, spouts off a few platitudes about freedom, reminds us that he doesn't care where people come from as long as they come legally, and makes fallacious arguments about how social sucks because Venezuela.
Thanks
I normally associate those things to Boomers, and I suppose young Conservatives as well. Northern conservatism is diet leftistism @Jacob
Espouse Conservation; conserve nothing
@Rick Two meanings: from the left it means people who are 'woke' but still really don't want to diversify their shit up (see also, the movie "Get Out" just don't pay for it). From the right, some of the harder core types think elements of the Alt-Right aren't sufficiently devout.
the main problem with conservatism is that its become secular as opposed to christian. im not sure if it was ever exclusively christian as opposed to implicitly christian or some mix of both.
Honestly, I'm leaning more towards socialism these days anyway. I don't really have anything in common with conservatives. Being corporate slaves doesn't sound fun.

Imagine not being a neo-feudalist

@Trashboat Show me a worthy king and I will be his man.

if we have a lit server I have an esoteric book published in the late 30s by an american group that examined the economics of it that I can post about
I'd say that a fair few of american politicians could've been kings
But I doubt that would work in a modern world
monarchy gang is gay. for every good monarch you get you have a bad one. its a problem mostly because monarchs are for life.
If anything, I think most people would be ok with a more aristocratic/restricted enfranchisement of the vote
@Trashboat Jackson I'm thinking.
If there is some kind of filter... Like not guaranteeing the firstborn son
I'd say most of the time, the difference from king to king was marginal for most people aside from nobility
The best son?
Parliamentary Monarchy is my ideology besides Identitarianism
