Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

As usual, the cruelty is the point. The ghouls gotta keep the the working class down at all costs

What about video game consoles?

Need to know how hard to boycott.

He's waiting to do that one next week so he can cause another spike.

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 60 points 1 week ago

Shenzhen produces 90% of the world's electronics

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 week ago

I hate to say that I'm a bit of a treat head on this one and I'm happy to see this particular part of US empire not crumble because I'd like to move away from my Nvidia hardware in the near future.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

treathead or not, the basic trade flow of the world was about to get entirely annihilated because of split manufacturing between China and the US and these dumbass tariffs.

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I commonly talk about treatlerism with my leftist friends and we do all admit that we are not at all immune to it. (Also I need a new gfx card and CPU)

I for one am totally immune to treatlerism, I haven't enjoyed anything in over 8 years. Someone handed me a free sample of a cookie once and I ate it without thinking but thankfully spit it out before I could enjoy any pleasure from it and then flipped over the cookie stand like Jesus with the money lenders.

China winning by simply ignoring AmeriKKKa until it negotiates its own damn deal

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

It's identical to the technique used on a petulant child.

[–] cyphear@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Nah, I have a better idea. How about if chinta just raises the price of those items to the inflated tariff price? Doing so would show Drumpf that he doesn't get to pick and choose. If those prices are lower than everything else he can claim that he "won" and I, as an American, want to witness the fall this bastard will have.

JDPON Don has betrayed the anti-treatler cause

NOOOOO
