I'm beginning to understand how their Century of Humiliation got its name

Yeah, nukes are so anti-fun, the dev really needs to patch them

Can someone explain it to me? I don't understand the joke.

Do they mean that trump flip flops all over the place with changing his decisions daily?

Aamericans tend to over engineer, an approach which in many cases can be very desirable, but in this case would result in 1 inch thick of the heaviest rubber, with a tread, with a leather covering for entire foot, up to over the ankle, and the whole thing held together with shoelaces.

This could have been effective. Instead they chose to showcase a thing which gets manufactured everywhere in the world. Media literacy is dead, god help us.

Bro... did you completely miss the fact that they're assembled backwards?

[-] PoPoP@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

You're the one completely missing here. This meme is ineffective because flip flops are manufactured everywhere and nobody screws them up. So what could have been a slam dunk here is more like OP slamming their forehead on the rim. Anyone who doesn't have their head up their ass or zero clue about how reality works see this and just thinks "nah that's fake" and they're correct in saying that media literacy is dead because this is getting way more genuine engagement than rock bottom low effort propaganda should get.

Anyone ... see this and just thinks "nah that's fake"

You're being thick headed.

Most people look at that and go "haha, they're making a joke at America's expense".

The image being fake is irrelevant, it's just a prop to setup the joke.

50 years of manufacturing job loss can't be fixed in one presidential term. Nicocado didn't lose all that weight in one week. Change can be hard and painful. But not changing would be giving up on the next generation. He might be rude, he might be orange, but by god he is addressing the elephant in the room everyone else is ignoring.

There is some motive to use the stick to motivate industries - after you have shown them a carrot.

It’s like if you see a child has abusive parents, so you just drain the bank accounts of those parents, and nudge to the child “Hey, you should look for new parents”.

Look at Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. He actually encouraged growth of solar production in red states so that clean energy could actually become a profitable industry here. Once that went into full swing, THEN tariffs on Chinese panels would make sense.

Since Clinton's first term, I've been saying they need to create workers education for people whose jobs are getting shipped out. I never thought I'd bitch about neolibs, but it's their policies that manufactured this anger and populism, isn't it? 😔🫠

Downvote me all you want it doesn't change the truth
