Compared to
We’re in agreement. My “nope” was directed at your question. The rest of my comment was illustrating why I’m shocked at how racist things have become. Because the trend was to improve until recently.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 2 months ago:
Nope. The 1970s were better than the 60s, and worse than the 80s. And the 90s were better still. The early 2000s were even better… but here we are certainly backtracking from where things had been going.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 2 months ago:
Yes it absolutely was. And while we seemed for a while to have been on a trajectory where it was decreasing steadily, that sure changed quickly.

- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
I feel like the details are important. What a country considered necessary for national security is a moving target that changes with technology.
Just as an example, 1930’s U.S. didn’t have any need for national security regarding the transistor or integrated circuit fab materials and manufacturing. That certainly is on the list now. While the U.S. has resources domestically and manufacturing facilities for this, the resources are finite.
The U.S. still has the Guano Islands Act available to “enforce” in the case that a suitable island supply was found AND desired. This was considered such a point of national security that the government legalized imperialism for bird shit.
If a specific resource becomes nationalized in the way you are suggesting, it seems to me that similar acts for rare earth metals might appear and still lead to imperialism.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
I asked for specifics because I am unaware of any country that can satisfy all of its security and/or survival needs from only domestic sources. If the necessary resource is not found in enough abundance domestically, what choice is left under your proposal, other than to nationalize another country’s resources through imperialism?
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
What are the industries you’re concerned about? I’m unclear on how a country would actually accomplish your goals without becoming imperialist. No country has every resource it needs in the abundance it needs.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
I think you missed where we’re in agreement about it being more profitable outside of the country. I was only suggesting that a better way to combat that would be incentives that are designed to maintain a status where the process of manufacturing remains profitable within the U.S.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
I don’t disagree with that, but it assumes the incentives are intended to expire. If the aim is to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., then one has to ensure manufacturing in the U.S. is profitable.
Tariffs do nothing for that.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 3 months ago:
Tariffs aren’t the way either.
The problem with incentives isn’t that they “can’t” work, it’s that they need to be at a level that makes using foreign manufacturing unattractive.
