Man I wish that was true. If countries would stop caving in to this asshole’s demands it would eventually put a stop to his rampage… but they keep bending over so he keeps going.
He already bullied countries into backing off silicon valley regs and penalties, the eu appeased him so far.
The eu does not need the us they should have held firm, but I guess they are too busy trying to lock down the internet and read everything everyone has done online.

No war but class war. The billionaires and oligarchs have given their marching orders, and our criminally sociopathic politicians are bottom feeding parasites; more than happy to destroy democracy and implement dictatorship for personal gain.
The one silver lining is that if the autocracy succeeds all of these guys will be supplanted, many by being persecuted. I suspect supreme leader will have a Joseph Stalin level of paranoia after the epic fight in the Viper pit for that position in 2028. That is if we do not get our shit together and get a popular muscular reform champion to run against them and overcome the vote rigging they plan on doing.
The rich people supporting him will get it worse than anyone, at some point they will start accusing them and seizing their assets, at first those that crossed the party, later seizing assets will be the end in itself.

When it comes to climate policy, i.e., the policy that directly impacts the future survival of human civilization, a stark choice seems to arise: US is force for evil; China is a force for good. If that makes us uncomfortable, my fellow westerners, well, cold hard facts don’t care about our feelings. If you want to save liberal democracy as a concept, we have to deeply, deeply reform the West.

Sorry fucko. The days where the United States got to have any say outside of their country are long gone.

Exclude the US in trade, make us suffer, let people here die, but don’t give in to tyranny
