some order to your chaos

2018-07-08 09:20:47 UTC  

When people ask "What are we supposed to do?" when it comes to politics, the world, big issues, there's always one thing I wish I would hear as an answer. Identify your cultural leaders. That is the number one thing we all need to try to do but even the big brains like Peterson never say it when they get the chance.

2018-07-08 09:21:04 UTC  

Well, besides cleaning your room that is.

2018-07-08 09:21:13 UTC  

Maybe that's number 1. It's arguable.

2018-07-08 09:21:56 UTC  

Meh, protectionism is a great tool against the atrophy of your industry and impoverishment of your workers and it doesn't even require you to really make up laws to mess with the way work is done

2018-07-08 09:22:37 UTC  

You don't need to raise wages by law when your worker no longer compete with shithole countries

2018-07-08 09:24:15 UTC  

what is this a response to?

2018-07-08 09:25:45 UTC  

A couple lines back someone was like "protectionism sucks"

TAKE BACK CALI

2018-07-08 09:37:57 UTC  

california is lost

2018-07-08 09:38:08 UTC  

@dodo.sh but if a country is out competing you in one way, why should the government support you

2018-07-08 09:38:09 UTC  

toss it into the briney sea

2018-07-08 09:38:11 UTC  

do what you do best

2018-07-08 09:38:18 UTC  

not what you suck at

2018-07-08 09:42:31 UTC  

Protectionism helps no-one

2018-07-08 09:44:26 UTC  

RE Cali I really think that a splitting of the state should be on the agenda of any serious California politician. It would fundamentally allow for a better representation of the state's constituents. The difference in political attitudes between urban and rural regions of the state isn't at all insignificant. However, I've heard that there is a plan which would do so to essentially gerrymander for disproportionately more demotractic representatives.

No man no need to waste all the valuable resources there. It isn't like Mexico is going to do nearly as well with it as we can. On top of that, because they would waste all that shit they're still gonna have jack and want to escape once the crime and corruption sink their claws in.

2018-07-08 09:50:16 UTC  

We need to win the legal battle against sanctuary cities first and foremost. That bullshit needs to stop. It's so terrible there's no reason to assume stupidity over malevolence when people advocate it. It's such a corrupting course.

People saying Russia is a big threat are overstating their power

2018-07-08 09:58:05 UTC  

To be fair, many countries, including Russia could do a lot of damage before we took them out if an all out conflict happened. But in regard to deterrants capabilites nobody comes close to the US.

2018-07-08 09:59:14 UTC  

Russia has to go nuclear in case of war

2018-07-08 09:59:17 UTC  

pretty much

2018-07-08 09:59:47 UTC  

The german army is trash

2018-07-08 10:00:01 UTC  

@AiarUther because you employ locals and the majority of your revenue stays local too. Plus, keeping the training wheels on some is how industries grow to outcompete others. Otherwise they get swep away

2018-07-08 10:00:50 UTC  

Every single major industrial power has gotten that way through intervention in favour of its industry

2018-07-08 10:01:34 UTC  

What Galm said ^^

2018-07-08 10:02:02 UTC  

Don’t you treat your soldiers like shit too?

2018-07-08 10:03:19 UTC  

Cal then baby killers and whatnot

2018-07-08 10:10:06 UTC  

what is the point of a German army if they allow people to invade their country freely <:thronk:441701565607444482>

2018-07-08 10:19:00 UTC  

To protect their acquisitions

2018-07-08 10:20:19 UTC  

<:thronk:441701565607444482> we could stage a sea invasion of Iceland. Darn Icelanders have no army

2018-07-08 10:23:27 UTC

2018-07-08 10:23:36 UTC

2018-07-08 10:24:18 UTC
