The shift in global economic power hit the west like a BRIC.
Western capitalists are ironically going to end up as their own strawman of capitalism’s critics: poor-by-choice out of pure laziness.
I see what you did there
Mexico is going to have a fully developed national rail system before the eglinton line is working in toronto
lol the sun will expand and boil off the oceans before the Eglinton station is finished
Western countries so high on their own supply they've completely lost the capability of conducting basic statecraft. Incredible!
truly
The majority of the pond scum who call themselves elites are trust fund brats who were in university during the late 70s and 80s
Their idea of economics is pulled straight from Milton Friedman, their sense of geopolitics is firmly based on Samuel Huntington and their general sense of politics is geared around an undying admiration for Reagan and Thatcher
Also a majority of them are severely lead poisoned, as they get older their bones start to soften and the lead that was deposited in their calcium bonds during childhood is released a second time to wreak havoc on their brains and nervous systems
Many funny things are happening
In 2018, Ford endorsed the economic policies of the Republican Party and the presidency of Donald Trump in the United States, saying his support for Trump is "unwavering".
Do we have a "leopards ate my face" emote?
The Ford brothers aren't exactly known for being smart or even semi-knowledgable after all.
I mean they certainly know their way around a crack pipe
whomst among us
Rob Ford: "I've got more than enough to eat at home." 
as a non-canadian i know them for drugs and gender violence. i imagine they are worse the more one knows
Ford also described it as being stabbed in the heart by a family member lmfao
Trump probably doesn't even know who he is
There are 3 options
1: Trump has no clue who Ford is (most likely)
2: Trump heard about his crack smoking brother and possibly mistakes Ford for his dead brother
3: Trump mistakes him for a Midwest second-hand pontoon boat dealership owner who he met at the Mar-a-Lago Filet-o-Fish buffet
Gotta love capitalism, outsource production to Mexico so it costs less then put tariffs on the product so they cost the same but we don't benefit from the manufacturing.
You don't understand, people will suddenly buy Amurican made because it's cheaper! :clueless:
Mexico should pull out of NAFTA as a bit.
and join BRICS instead now that there's a huge new port in Peru
lol
Canadians trying to steal Mexican valor.
I think not, Mr Ford.
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
