class issue, the richer/more powerful the people on top the more they love to preach about equality while actively working to destroy those below them by doing the opposite.
US has it in spades with the establishment and the nepobaby left, but EU is way more advanced, they're more or less just a few steps behind from a china/russia type government, since they've already passed laws that throw people into prison for complaining about the immigration crisis.

There's no value in trying to assign the term "fascist" to left wing people. In colloquial usage, "fascism" essentially means authoritarianism of a right-wing variety, specifically. It isn't the authoritarian aspect of it that people who use the word have a problem with (in fact, they often want big governments with lots of authority), it's the right-wing part. Pointing out that they use force and authority to get what they want will, at best, just make them go "okay, and? We're using force and authority towards left-wing ends, so it's fine". You're also screwing yourself by committing to the belief that using force or authority is bad; if you think that, but your enemies don't, it's a major handicap.

Conservatives didn't cause the Syrian war and, thus, the resulting Syrian refugee crisis, nor did they cause mass migration across America's southern border. Wars are now being waged or funded whether democrats or republicans are in office. Your conception of that aspect of politics is very out-of-date.

>>1463109
Common misunderstanding constantly touted as the reason people aren't having kids. Ridiculous both in an historic and modern context, as historically people of poverty unimagineable to us throughout history have had many children while, at present, some of the people having the most kids are the poorest.

800 billion more to Israel and import two million more Somalians

Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council and the current favorite to take over as Federal Reserve chair, argued on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are playing a meaningful role in tackling America’s $38 trillion national debt. In conversation with billionaire David Rubenstein, a cofounder of the Carlyle Group, Hassett said the first step to tackling the debt was to reduce it relative to target: “And we clearly are doing that with the big reductions in the deficit right now.”

Hassett added that he’s not only bullish about growth in the economy but “the fact that we have tariff revenue and we’ve got a lot more spending restraint than was here in the past.” He noted tariffs are an important part of Trump’s economic policy and that “a lot of the revenue coming into the Treasury” is from tariffs. Hassett cast tariffs as part of a broader supply-side strategy he said he believes can boost growth, widen the tax base, and, over time, ease the debt burden.

Just a day earlier, at the DealBook Summit in New York, Hassett’s fellow cabinet member Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had described tariff revenues as more like a “shrinking ice cube” than a lasting fiscal fix. This aligned with the recent estimate from the Congressional Budget Office that savings on the national debt had shrunk by $1 trillion between August and November, as trade deals resulted in a lower and lower effective tariff rate. Pantheon Macroeconomics found recently tariffs have brought in $100 billion less than the White House first expected, with a plummet in imports from China the main reason.

To be sure, the jump in tariff revenue from 2024 to 2025 is considerable, roughly triple or quadruple the level from the year before, as calculated by Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Slok in September (as shown below). But Hassett’s claim of spending restraint has been challenged by budget watchdogs, notably the Peter G. Peterson Institute and Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the former of which calculated the debt’s growth by $1 trillion in just two months was the fastest-ever recorded outside of the pandemic.

Bessent defended the tariff regime in his interview with the New York Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin, saying tariffs are currently bringing in substantial revenue, and they are “good for labor.” He stressed the ultimate goal is to rebalance trade and rebuild domestic manufacturing, not to fund government permanently.
Supreme Court watching

The remarks from Bessent and Hassett come as the Supreme Court weighs whether Trump overstepped by using the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs far beyond past presidents’ use of the law. Bessent said on Wednesday if the Supreme Court succeeds in throwing out many of the tariffs, it would be “a loss for the administration” and “a loss for the American people.”

Regarding the Supreme Court, Hassett said the use of an economic emergency law was justified by the social damage from decades of large trade deficits and diminished well-being for American labor, as evidenced by “deaths of despair,” often fentanyl-related. Hassett said the administration is confident the Supreme Court will uphold Trump’s use of emergency powers to levy import charges. He also rejected the idea tariffs are inherently inflationary, calling them a one-time price shock rather than a persistent driver of rising prices, something that was echoed in Bessent’s interview with Ross Sorkin.

Say, Mr HAHAHSH;FMANYMANYMANYZEROS, Scotty wants to decrease inflation by decreasing taxes on rich people, and making the poor, poorer. Republicans are mafiosa that got Lucky because of the pathetic Democratic choices for president and got into power and are trying to extract as much wealth for themselves as possible, then getting out and burning down the joint and collecting insurance money they don't give a shit about getting elected in 2028 as long as they wet their beaks

But he co=opted the 'No tax on tips' thing so it's fine.

I'm not pivoting at all. I replied to a guy laughing that the rich would deal with an unironic socialist than florida. Which is stupid and totally antithetical to being pro-worker. The rent freeze is a good example because it ignores reality and the lessons learned by the past.
America's long history of lobbying should have told you that the rich always use government power to destroy market competition, which is literally what's happening here. Except the competition in this case is the average renter.
>>1463081
Yeah bro, go full east berlin on the NYC housing market. You stupid fucking retard.

>>1463084
Also:
>whattabout republicans..!
False dichotomy, fuck you.

>>1463096
>I'm not pivoting at all.
You are pivoting. Your claim was that leftoids were not the party of workers then when I listed several pro-worker policies you pivoted to hyper focusing on one and saying "Well, I don't like this policies I think they're bad". Those are two separate arguments. At least Democrats have policies. What Republicans have is tarriffs and budget increases to three letter agencies while inflation staggers out of control. You have no defense for that.

>I replied to a guy laughing that the rich would deal with an unironic socialist than florida
There's no indication that Florida is becoming the next New York, anon. None whatsoever. New York is still the #1 economic producer in the country. No city in Florida is even 4th or 5th in line.

>>1463097
>False dichotomy, fuck you.
It isn't a false dichotomy. The two parties in America are Democrat and Republican. That's as accurate a dichotomy as you can get. If your insistence is that the right supports workers more than the left does, I gave several examples of them doing the opposite and you can't defend it because you know its a losing argument. Its also very curious that I listed the decade long failing of the Republican party to do anything to help workers and nobody can address that. You completely gloss over it because you know you have absolutely no reasonable defense for the utter incompetence of the Republican party.

>>1463091
We shouldn't even need a tipping system like any first world country so your accuse fails.

Silly shit.

>>1464157
anon they didn't ban 4chan
imagine having no YouTube but still be able to shitpost on 4chan
couldn't be me haha

The real reason this is happening here is because we have a highly concentrated and very powerful established media industry. The political class do whatever they say. They wanted big tech to be forced to pay them for news content, and they go it.
Kids are spending all their time on social media and totally disengaged from MSM, so ban them.
The proof is in the fact that YouTube is included. Literally the most benign place on the internet where you can watch what interests you, not what's served to you, and it's banned because it has a "comments section". LMAO what about MSM news websites?

It failed anyway.

I mean, the endgame for this is to have AI run the world, replace workers with robots, and give whoever controls the AI truly unbelievable amounts of power. It's not there yet, and you'd better fucking pray it never gets there at all, but that's the goal and why the rich and powerful are pushing AI so hard.

>>1462948
I don't think that's physically possible, and if it ever was would mean the end of the capitalist system which these people derive power from. If nobody has a job, nobody can afford to buy the output of the new ai generated industry. You end up with a welfare society in which the rich are now burdened with providing for humans for free, or a society in which no humans are left, and the rich rule over nothing.

In reality though, an AI "worker" consumes the output of a nuclear power plant to draw a picture of a penis or give an incorrect but plausable sounding answer to a query, and a human worker consumes a bowl of rice to do the same task. There's no comparison at all, and AI driven industries are fundamentally unprofitable compared to just having a horde of indians shoved into a warehouse somewhere. The only value AI has right now is that it's novel and driving an investment bubble.

>>1462950
Like it or not, it IS getting better. Will it ever get good enough for this? We'll have to wait and see.
>and if it ever was would mean the end of the capitalist system which these people derive power from. If nobody has a job, nobody can afford to buy the output of the new ai generated industry.

I thought that way for a while, but the more I think about it the less I believe it.
Money is power, but it's also not real. A dollar doesn't actually do anything, it just represents how much power you have to buy things and influence people. Billionaires run the world because they have a lot of money, but that doesn't mean that's the only type of power they could potential wield. Power like AI. Who cares if money doesn't mean anything anymore if you control this hypothetical AI that runs the world? Imagine robot farms, AI-run infrastructure, all the work being done by robots, and Elon Musk controls it all.
If AI does get this strong, then whoever controls it will have more power than could ever be bought with mere money. So they're using their obscene wealth to try and be that whoever.

If by lost you mean the Supreme Court has been seized by radical conservative judges using the shadow docket that almost all legal scholars agree is reallocating power to Trump for their own financial benefit and desire of 6 conservatives to force their Christian national beliefs on all American citizens and absolve racial jerrymandering while applying shadow docket rulings more in the last 11 months then in the past 20 years combined…. Then yes, we lost.
