it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    At no point did I ever claim you were a billionaire (lying again), you obviously aren’t. You’re just a dumbass who licks their boots because you’ve accepted their lies and propaganda that their interests are yours.

    You are arguing that we should ignore class interests in favor or national interests, which is nationalism and nonsense. Workers in the first world may be less exploited than workers in other countries, but we are still exploited. We produce more than we take. And our purchasing power has been plummetting thanks to the things you support, and the rich are constantly working towards hastening that decline.

    If we ended both American hegemony in the world and capitalist exploitation, workers would be better off. If we only ended American hegemony, we would still be better off because it’s public funds that go into projects like Afghanistan and private corporations that reap the benefits. And again, the rich being richer doesn’t ‘trickle down’ to us in any way, what it does do is empower them relative to us, granting them more ability to suppress wages and cause conditions to decline.

    Thank you for finally at least acknowledging the fact that I responded to your answer instead of lying about it like you’ve been doing.
