  • Raising tariffs to incentivize domestic production helps create jobs at the expense of corporate profit. From a Nationalist perspective, it’s a good thing.

    Now, there’s a lot of ways Trump could fuck this up of course, and worst being a spiraling cost of chips because of an unrestrained monopoly or oligopoly of tariff-free chip production in the U.S. - like we see with EV manufacturers in the U.S. refusing to build affordable economy EVs because it’s simply more profitable if they only make luxury vehicles while the tariffs protect the market from cheap foreign EVs.

    This also erodes trust in America’s support for free markets - free markets benefit nations with economic dominance, and the fact that America is being forced to rely on tariffs is evidence that American economic dominance is crumbling.






  • This is a completely fair response and I think I was overly broad with my original comment. For what it’s worth, I don’t believe I’m a badass, I’m a joke of an organizer - I’m just speaking from the perspective of someone active in the scene. And left-wing security culture has by far been more of a detriment to organization locally than a boon.

    If someone doesn’t have the time, energy, or inclination to do organizing work IRL I think that’s totally fine. Everyone has the right to enjoy their personal time how they see fit, and that may include posting on a niche left-wing Internet forum; and not everyone is in a good place in their life to do organizing work.

    What bugs me is clowns on the Internet spreading self-defeating paranoia-induced “privacy best practices”. Read any modern work of theory; hell, listen to a shitty leftist podcast; and they’ll tell you that the most effective weapon the Capitalist class has is not shooting you with a gun or putting you in jail; it’s the chilling effect on speech that their threats engender.

    It is asinine to consider filing a FOIA request on Hexbear a serious mistake.
