But why? Don't they rely on cheap labor coming in to the country?

Ok, this news is exaggerated. It's still sitting above a 100k. Also, bitcoin and stocks are correlated, so without a crash on stocks it will hardly crash.

Europeans won't "wake up", they'll just side with fascism.

I thought this was an Onion article.

Iran should've gotten nukes a long time ago. I think this is the lesson here.

I think it's just a Western tactic to get some media wins. There were also a few Russian generals killed in the beginning of the Ukrainian war and it changed nothing. But it allows the media to portray those killings as huge victories.

I don't think they care. If Israel and Iran destroy each other mutually, the US still gets partially what they want. So Israel is an expendable proxy for the US.

It's not just ignorance, it's denial as well. They don't want to admit that most atrocities committed around the world are done to benefit them.

I thought this was going to be a flying car, but turns out it's just a weapon 💀

I'm not sure they're erratic. He seems to just want to make himself even richer, with market manipulation, then leave the mess for someone else to handle. Probably an incompetent Democratic President.

No, but we've gone almost 20 years without major banks going nearly bankrupt simultaneously. Also, unemployment is low across the West, housing prices keep climbing, and public and private debt are through the roof. It's starting to feel like 2008 again, but this time it will be even worse.

The last financial crisis was nearly 20 years ago, so another one is due soon. I still think it's a bit early, and Trump will probably offset it with by lowering interest rates and (probably) printing even more money. Maybe in 2028-2030 is when we get another big crash.

 
 

 
 
 

I advise low volume while watching the video.

 

They really have to push the train because there's no electricity.

 

Decided to have some fun and balkanize the US. If the filthy liberals can have fun balkanizing China and Russia, then so can I with the US.

I'll follow the Legend order:

  • Florida: Is an independent country. It's pretty much a fiscal paradise and tourist resort. Suffers with drug cartels which emerged after the fall of the US. The worst are the ones run by Cuban gusanos, which were forced to resort to crime when their US state funded subsidies went dry.
  • Bible Belt: As backwards and reactionary as you can imagine. Slavery is legalized against all non-whites. Christianity is the only legal religion.
  • Free Men States: These are regions that managed to break free from the Bible Belt. They frequently make armed incursions against the Bible Belt to free slaves and disrupt governamental operations.
  • Native American Communes: Similar to the Free Men States, but their larger Native American population banded together with common ideals and culture. They are in a state of unofficial war with the Bible Belt.
  • New California Republic: Has a large industry of high tech products, which it exports to several Asian countries. (Yes, the name is inspired by that game, you know the one).
  • Soviet Union: Yeah that's right. The Soviet Union is back and better than ever! Alaska just couldn't resist the offer and decided to join Russia.
  • York Conglomerate: Modeled itself after the EU (which no longer exists). It portrays itself to be a beacon of civilization in a sea of chaos and savagery, which it claims the rest of the US to be. If Canada falls, it has the daunting task of being the last bastion of white liberal civilization that's left on the planet!
  • Canada: It's still Canada, but its proximity to the Soviet Union is causing instability in the country. Many worker strikes are occurring across the nation.
  • Great Midwest: What's left of the US. These states are more or less independent with mostly local governments. Their economies rely on resource extraction and farming. They are suffering with mass emigration to their border regions. Many towns and villages only have old people left. There are a lot of lawless regions in this zone.
  • Hawaii: It's still the same but an independent country.

EU: The EU dissolved in 2025. Following Russia's victory in the Ukrainian war, the EU was left with massive debt and crippling electricity prices that forced its industrial sector to relocate to the US. After the war many Nazi combatants felt betrayed by the EU and vowed to make the Europeans pay for such betrayal. Terrorist acts devastated what was left of the EU. Some governments, like Germany's, even ceased to exist! Following the massacre of 2027 where Ukronazi terrorists managed to bomb and kill the entire German cabinet of ministers. Many politicians fled the country for fear of further reprisals, and the country was left in a state of shock and disarray. This devastation lasted decades. Many Nazi terrorists eventually formed street gangs and mafias. However, in 2050 when the terrorism has finally subsided, a new wave of leftist militias have been ending these nazi gangs and establishing safe zones. Could this be a turning point for Europe?

What about the rest of the world? It's actually doing pretty well. No longer oppressed by the boot of Western Imperialism many countries managed to develop their economies and mostly eradicate poverty. Socialism and Social Democracy are the reigning ideologies in the world. Global Warming has mostly been resolved. While extreme weather events still persist, climate apocalypse has been avoided. Humanity is also venturing into other planets in the solar system. A new Space Age is beginning and the future looks bright!

 

I'm sure some of you have seen these types of posts. We can't expect much from the idiots that write these articles. But there have been multiple posts on Twitter, of supposedly massive Chinese internment camps.

If we know something about the Chinese government is that they plan ahead. They know that if they open the economy, they'll have a colossal number of infections. These buildings are very likely hospitals or quarantine zones where the infected will be sent to receive appropriate medical care.

Of course Westoids can't imagine what it's like to live in a country where the government actually thinks of the future and cares about the lives of it's own people. So their conclusions are as shortsighted as their governments.

I think the Chinese government is going to do a full reopening of the country and try to be as ready as possible, since their economy can't continue to operate like this. What do you guys think?
