As Trump is gonna put his insane tariffs in place, what do you guys think is the goal here? Because I fear that he is playing 4D chess but making it look like he is playing checkers, and if his tariffs are out into place it’ll undoubtedly anger and radicalise lots of Americans especially, and just cause a general shitshow for approval ratings and threaten the domestic safety of capital. Thoughts?
You really don’t think that over time even Americans will start to wake up? I know their track record is less than abyssmal but still I would like to hold out some hope
Over time they will wake up and be angry about particular policies but radicalizing implies they would shift a lot further politically. I don’t think the majority of Americans will do that.
Us Lemmygradders would have to take far smaller, more realistic steps to build any sort of popular political power in America or anywhere in the West.
I’m in Australia and even collective bargaining from unions generates a lot of resentment when it is powerful enough to disrupt everyday life. e.g. our Sydney train drivers had a big strike recently. There’s no solidarity with them from most of the public.
