    I don't think user comments are typically blocked, just communities. Which is fine with me, I don't have a problem with every single user on instances I have blocked.

    In Connect it would auto hide posts made by someone in a blocked community. They'd all be there, but you'd have to elect to have it shown to see it.

      If every country he puts tariffs on ends up implementing their own retaliatory tariffs, what would happen?

        Look at Cuba. Now look at the US. Now look at Cuba again.

        Okay, now image Cuba but without the public health care, housing, jobs programs, and mass transit.

                You know, I'm confused what people are disagreeing with. I've only stated facts.

                Sudan and Myanmar are completely under China's sphere of influence. They are both in the middle of a civil war. China has done nothing and supplied both sides.

                Taiwan has consistently stated they want the status quo. Congress is heavily in favor of that. So much so they made a law to handcuff the president from declaring.

                China has repeatedly stated they believe Taiwan will aquiesce peacefully and will only invade if Taiwan unilaterally declares independence.

                Thus, in a situation where China is the sole hegemony, China knows they are right about Taiwan and will simply wait out Taiwan. If the world is under Chinese sphere of influence we'll see a massive uptick in civil wars.

                  It really doesn't help that China has been a hot topic, for decades. You can say nothing but the simple truth and someone will call it propaganda or say you're a paid shill, for saying something consistently known as truth.

                      It will be used to bail out companies, who suffer to financially survive. The money will go to the higher managements though.

                                Well the weirdest thing to me is I am saying China becoming the world's super power will lead to genocide. Not caused by China itself, but by China's inactions. And my proof is historical from Sudan and Myanmar. Yet people are calling me a pro-China shill? It's odd at best.

                                    Hopefully the political correction happens fast. The last two tariff wars created massive depressions. The Great depression saw a landslide democratic victory and it took Republicans 60 years to become relevant again. This could be good.

                                    They could drop all tariffs tonight, but the inertia of new trade deals being made to circumvent the US is pretty strong. It will keep strengthening while the US rots on the vine because they’ve been geopolitically exiled for having revealed themselves to be governmentally retarded.

                                          If every country he puts tariffs on ends up implementing their own retaliatory tariffs, what would happen?

                                          Imagine everything currently produced on earth loses about a third of its efficiency/affordability and a large chunk of everything has shortages/unavailability for the next 30 years.

                                          Now imagine with the loss of trade relationships diplomacy slowly returns to that of the dark ages and a new era of war begins.

                                          Things we take for advantage are peace and prosperity.
