Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
"My opponent could simply quit for no reason" is not a good argument, yet we're seeing it more and more
They have been so used to getting everything they want for so long that they are unable to imagine a situation that doesn't resolve in them getting their maximalist demands fulfilled.
Trade? That's when I get to plunder the world for free.
Diplomacy? That's when I tell people what I want and they give it to me.
War? That's when we bomb someone back to the stone age without even getting a dent in our multi-billion dollar death machines.
Out of curiosity, what do you guys generally think of international trade and the tariffs (or lack thereof) that go with it?
Are you thinking of any specific trade agreements?
Not really. I'll have to lurk more and find more specific questions. Thanks.
Good idea cause the views depend heavily on context, what countries are involved, and the existing trade relationships between the countries.
It mostly highlights how I view things. I'm not a huge fan of states using their citizens to fight over shit, so I have pretty reductio type views.
That's fair, I don't imagine most anyone here would disagree with the sentiment. But the next question is to start asking why it is that states end up fighting, right?
Liberal ideology is tough to overcome
Marvel movies have been a detriment to society.
