The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'
-
I've been using it ever since i heard thats what the younger staffers in the Biden White House called him. I found it simultaneously hilarious, vicious, and accurate. I encourage you and others to use it often.
Other suggestions:
Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller (my favorite)
Steve "Unwiped Asshole" Bannon
Empty G
Lauren Boobert
Big Boobie Bondi
Couchfucker Vance (not very original, but a good reminder)
Gold Digging Whore (the Propaganda
Secretary, I can't be bothered to learn her name)Traitor also works for all of them. Nazi, too.

Calling young people consumerist is just blaming them for circumstances of which they had no real control.
What? Have you heard the music they listen to? Gucci this, versace that. Have you seen the celebrities they look up to? Gold chains this, expensive tattoos that. Don't even get me started on the cars that cost more than my house.
Just try suggesting to them that delivery apps are scams or that they can be getting most of their digital entertainment for free and see what reactions you get.
No, they are proud consumers doing their part to keep the disparity in wealth growing.

Nice mention of AdNauseam, here is a link:
It's based on uBlock Origin, so still state of the art in ad-blocking.

Your point of view sounds a whole lot like the 2500 year-old history of blaming young people.
In reality, however, it's the Boomers who are largely responsible for the world we find ourselves in, not the 20 year-olds.
-
lol you sound like such a boomer

Well see there is just the problem, TERF island needs more toxic masculinity so the men can be tough!

Well just to be fair - and i know people like shitting on Trump but hear me out - the complaints from workers against out-shoring labor to other countries has been very loud for many years.
Everytime the newspaper reports "Company X has moved its factory to China" you can be sure that lots of people are gonna complain about it. But tariffs are the only thing that actually forces companies to put the factories back to the USA. Or do you have a better idea?
-
You can't just flip a switch to have manufacturing moved to the United States overnight or even five years. Not to mention that even raw goods needed to even start the process that are being tarriffed like aluminum just doesn't come out of nowhere. This is a dumb sledgehammer approach that's going break more things than it fixes

Yes, boomers are responsible for what they did when they were young.
We're responsible for what we do when we are young.
Like it or not, it's a lot easier to manipulate young people into spending their money than it is older people. This is directly related to the concept of consumerism and how the powers that b have convinced yet another generation to follow in their parent's footsteps of "those who have more deserve more, and those who have less deserve less."

Not really.
Corporations aren't going to be making billions of dollars off of, say Photoshop, if copyright and patents laws didn't exist.
Same goes for hollywood movies.
You're peddling rhetoric that was put here by your oppressors so you will work against your own interests. Congratulations.

or something ultra specific that is super easy to source from any other country, to exclusively hurt the american businesses

I don't buy that Trump has anything to do with the logic behind this world-destabalizing shock and awe spectacle.
The conversation would be different if people stopped attributing authorship to him and acknowledged the massive decades-old machine using him as a mouthpiece.
But it sure makes people feel smart though. Gives them something to meme about while the people who planned this get the real dirt done. Maybe he'll misspell a country name next... Do another ad for Leon's dinkeys, Israeli beans or something. Stoopid Donald got poopy pance. lol.
-
Don't worry, they are working on removing those as well.
-
It is always someone else who is at fault for Trump except Trump himself, the Republicans, and people like you who didn't vote.

D-bag works well enough for my purposes

Maybe calculated tariffs on commodities where companies are contemplating outsourcing, but that's a step you take in advance in order to dissuade their action. This is like making the whole school sit with their heads down through recess because one specific kid was unruly.
