I’m sorry. But don’t roll these back. The country voted for this. I’m willing to take the pain of the situation. So the stupid Trumpers will suffer. I have access to family farms that have the country’s fruit basket in my state. I’ll be able to survive because I can get to food easily. Sucks that others won’t be so lucky. But there is no reason to stop the tariffs. Let the hurt educate people.
Edit: I don’t give a fuck if this upsets people. Let the fucker burn. Burn baby burn! Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up!
Were you beaten as a child? Exploited for labor, derided for showing emotions? What lessons do you think that kind of suffering teaches? Do you think suffering builds character?
You say you are "willing to take the pain." Then immediately admit you won't feel as much pain as your 'lessers' but it's okay because it'll teach them. Those 'unlucky others' are people who will die. Do you hate your neighbors so much you will let them die after they've been lied to and gaslit by the owning class for decades?
Hurt people have two options; keep hurting those around them, or do their best to advocate, educate, and protect their community from further harm.
Which do you think works better in the long run?
I looked through their comments because I was curious if they're actually a piece of shit, or if they're just having a bad take or a bad day. No, that's actually what they believe. They have some fascinating opinions on how zoomers and gen alpha are effectively inferior to millennials.
lol. You mean the two generations who have been radicalized by alpha bros pushing supplements on their podcasts? I at least have voted against Trump three times. I know who I support and will help. I just have given up fighting the tariffs. I’ve saved up enough money to weather the storm. For now. But I’m lucky enough to live near super farms that grow hundreds of different local crops year round. I grew up in the poorest region in the country. I’ve seen hardships up close. Those people will still get through this. But those MAGA finance bros looking for quick rich schemes. They will suffer from their own hubris. And I’m all for it. Just hope the rest of you make it out ok. You don’t deserve this. But it’s medicine to kill the cancer.
