And I’m not talking about the ones in power, more the rank and file.

I speculated this wrecking ball approach to the US economy was an attempt to destabilize the world and marshall the forces of violent fascism, and make the battle for hegemony one of attrition since the Us no longer sees itself capable of competing with China’s manufacturing capabilities.

So, like, what does the average Joe think? That while everything around him comes crumbling down, all the trans and blacks will at least be put in their place?

I’m wondering if the debate around the seemingly confusing motivations are due to…too much of a materialist approach? I think it’s either that or absolutism when it comes to the dialectic and taking these thoughts to their logical conclusions

My chud mom thinks it's going to bring back manufacturing.

I explained that it can't do that on its own, that it's chaotic and bad for business, that it would require a decade-long plan for developing infrastructure and training people, and that while it think it's a good idea to make such a goal, this way will cause pain and problems. She just shrugged

I think what is going to happen is an increase in trade between non US countries and buisnesses see more dollars that way. Instesd of rehoming buisnesses to inside the US, this could have quite the oppoisite effect and cause buisnesses to up root and flee.
