The FTC says that's not cool—sort of>The FTC warned Mastercard, PayPal, and others against denying consumers the right to buy what they want, saying that "access to such infrastructure and services is essential for Americans’ participation in everyday commerce."
>>736084491So what's gonna be the cope now that Trump is literally saving games and anime
>>736084567>Trump is literally saving games and animeWhere? Woke shit still exists you dumb neocon retard.
>>736084567Probably mentioning the Epstein files and crying about Iran. Also raiding a few churches and screaming at old boomers that they're white supremacists.
one of the very many ..kinda wins? for trump because he did say he was going to do something about this but then got distracted and now we are at war with iran while he builds a ballroom.
>>736084567You lost.
>>736084491They're giving a warning because they know they can't actually go against their jewish overlords.
>>736084680Why is that a bad thing?
>oh shit the plebs are getting uppity about potentially dying for israel, throw them a bone. Just a letter is fine, you don't really have to do anything
>>736084680>while he builds a ballroom.You're genuinely retarded if you believe the ballroom story
>>736084567He killed some mohammedans. if you kill your enemies they win
>>736084629>Woke shit still existsIt doesn't.
>>736084567Don't worry he'll backstab you somehow
>a warning
>>736084795thistalk is cheap, unless they actually punish MC/Visa then who gives a shit. you fags fall for everything and are true NPCs
>>736084491>Warning So it's nothing
>>736084795How about they just nuke that dirt hole out of the map? I'm already seeing sandnigger retards infesting my country on the other side of the world
>>736084567Move goalposts, deflect to schizobabble conspiracies, gas cost me an extra $5 this week. Man, they really became everything they accused us of being huh
>>736084795>dying for israelWho is dying, though? Only like 12 US soldiers have died in the war, compared to over 6,000 Iranian troops. If anyone is "dying for Israel", it's the muslims.
>>736084829It literally does. Never celebrate too soon.
>>736084680jesus christ, 4 posts from op to gigacopei pity your life
Video games are more expensive than ever. PCs and consoles are more expensive than ever. And every American game being made is pure slop. I'm sure glad video games were saved.

>>736084491Good>>736084567I don't know why leftists claim that the orange golem was pro-censorship.They spend all their time cursing him and calling him a pedophile, but they claim they don't have freedom of expression; it's strange.
>>736084885They are 100% lying about the number of deaths and injuriesAnd ground forces haven't even been deployed yet
>>736084491Oh no, we remember alright. Gaben might have told them to fuck off, but this exact same bullying befell itch.io, subscribestar, f95 and other such smaller places.

>>736085082>this won't last more than a few days, liberal retard>all those ships in the mediterranean are just a show of force, liberal retard>we wouldn't ever go to war just because israel and the saudis want us to, liberal retard
>>736084629"Woke" shit will continue to exist because of all the millennials who were brainwashed by their retarded leftist single mothers into thinking this way. But in terms of the "commanding heights" of society, woke is definitely dying. You've got right-wing billionaire Ellison about to control TikTok, CNN, MSN, etc., So yeah, it won't be around much longer in mainstream society.The big mistake the left made was betraying the Jews after Oct 7, when they all went spastic with the "from the river to the sea" shit. As a result, wealthy Jews pulled their support and started coalescing around Trump.Of course /pol/tards and groypers will continue to oppose Trump because they are obsessed with DA JOOS, but the right-wing is now entirely Zionist.
What's going to happen when Iran inevitably nukes them?
>>736085013>They are 100% lying about the number of deaths and injuries>source: it came to be in a dream
>>736085210Any day now woke will be gone. Ten years at most. Maybe more.
>>736085237Iran is going to become Gaza 2.0.
wasn't this the guy who said no wars? he was all for peace?lol americans are stupid people
>>736084873>nuke that dirt hole out of the map?You mean Israel? 100% they should do that. But won't.
>>736085237We obliterated their nuclear program. Twice. How are they supposed to get a nuke again?
>>736085363Iran really wants to
>>736085237the world gets a hole in the ground. I vote we call Tee-Hee-ran
>>736084567HE COULD HAVE SAVED THEM EARLIER HE'S ON THE FILES!!!!!!
>>736085210>As a result, wealthy Jews pulled their support and started coalescing around Trump.Yeah we all noticed it by New-York mayor election.>but the right-wing is now entirely Zionist.So dead in the water, pretty much like all right-wing political movements outside of USA?

it's just a fucking "umm MAYBE don't do that??"gay
>>736085453Name one (1) thing they’ve lied about
>>736085426Where is the Left going to get its money? Broke niggas from Portland and LA aren't going to bankroll your movement retard. They can't even afford rent.Not to mention that the Silicon Valley tech companies are now mostly pro-Trump.
>>736085590
>>736085453The US military actually releases the identities of its dead. Iran does not. Got any proof of your claims?
This is specifically for right wing youtube grifters and religious groups being deplatformed for violent rhetoric and other extremism. This has no relation to video games. Zero. You're fools to think you have allies in this government.

>>736085661The oppression of Christians in the US is a more important issue than video games by far.
>>736085593>Where is the Left going to get its money?Idk ask blue states like California.>Not to mention that the Silicon Valley tech companies are now mostly pro-Trump.And they still pay taxes to the blue state.Also, Musk money did straight opposite to the Canadian conservatives and AfD who he openly sponsored.
>>736084491Mastercard needs to just stick to taking their cut and shutting the fuck up.
>>736084567Jews are getting blocked by Visa and mastercard because they want to push porn onto kids and their biggest goy Trump is working to stop them from banning NSFW games just because they hurt jews. Only jews want this to happen.
>>736085710>they never lied>t-that doesn't count!
>>736085210The issue is that the right will incorporate aspects of woke beliefs into their general mindset. They already do it now. Look at how many puritanical retards shudder at the sight of a woman wearing anything but baggy clothing. They're the ones constantly pulling the "porn to tranny pipeline" cope all the time in these threads. I hope you realize that it's about to get a lot worse and it may never get better.
>>736085082Navies and Air Forces don't win wars.
>>736085878Porn is based and redpilled. If you hate it, you're probably GAY.
>>736085210And by the time the single mothers thing gets demonized, the damage will already been done.
>>736085760Christians are the biggest jewish goyim and they should all burn for being the only religion naive enough to support jews.
>>736085979Thankfully, disgusting talk like this will soon be illegal. The vile violence against Christians must end.
>>736085909You're just another dumb Ron Paul retard who wants to try and force the Republican party to be anti-interventionist. Stop it, it's never going to happen, go join the Democrats or form a third-party, no one cares about your gay pacifism. The only "supporter" you have is Massie and everyone in the party hates him.
>>736085210This will keep happening. You will never win. It might seem like you're winning right now but it's only a matter of time until it suddenly all crumbles. Like it always does.
>>736086056Have fun building the third temple for a bunch of jews because you think it'll bring back Jesus, you fucking lunatic.
>>736086056everyone except his voters lmao

>>736085931You are brainwashed. Porn will be illegal soon, and you will thank Trump for it in the end. In my state, it already “requires an ID” which in effect just bans many of the large websites. The only problem is VPNs need to be banned too for any of this to really matter, but that shouldn’t be too far off.
>>736086116His voters overwhelmingly support the war.
They're going to nuke israel
>>736084629>this isn't a success because everything isn't fixedshut up dude, this isn't a movie where everything gets magically fixed all at once
>>736086125So? I have enough porn on my harddrive for a lifetime. You are insane if you don't think that banning porn will do massive damage to feminists. Suddenly all their OF money dries up and their unemployed and will be forced to get married to survive. I hate women far more than I like jerking off dude.
>>736084491Nothing good ever happens
Anyone actually going to post new censorship efforts by the banks or nah?
>>736086125Everyone can gen whatever the fuck they want on their local PCs already. You lost
>>736085760You mean their self-inflicted oppression? Maybe you guys should've listened to your ancestors instead of sucking up to people that hate you. I have no sympathy for anyone that willingly ensnares themselves.
>>736084491Only applies to political stuff, everyone who thinks it safeguards porn is delusional Sec. 3. Definitions. (a) The term “politicized or unlawful debanking” refers to an act by a bank, savings association, credit union, or other financial services provider to directly or indirectly adversely restrict access to, or adversely modify the conditions of, accounts, loans, or other banking products or financial services of any customer or potential customer on the basis of the customer’s or potential customer’s political or religious beliefs, or on the basis of the customer’s or potential customer’s lawful business activities that the financial service provider disagrees with or disfavors for political reasons.
>>736086225You only hate women because of your porn addiction. Maybe you can’t be saved because you intentionally want to ruin your own life out of spite, but banning porn would save most young people from becoming a failure like you.
>>736086283Just get a JCB card. Japan banks are good as long as you aren't asking for a loan.

>>736086317Women are evil whores by nature. They have murdered more children by abortion than every war combined.
>>73608629599.99% of the population either cannot afford or cannot figure out how to do that. It would still greatly improve the country, and making owning computer hardware more expensive will also help reduce the amount of damage porn can cause. You can never reduce it completely. Some guy could always draw boobs on a napkin and jerk off to it, but regulation will still reduce its negative effects.
>>736086125Just letting everyone here know that, while this post is bait, this is unironically what maga retards think. This is the future you're going to get. Woke, but in the name of Jesus.

>>736086937America is an empire, dude, whether you like it or not. The only question is whether we should use force to defend our empire or whether we should surrender it to Iran, Russia, China and others and flee back to our mainland with our tail between our legs.
>>736084629The companies that have been promoting woke shit are dying out.The only woke company that is turning a profit is Larian and Blizzard. Larian will make a mistake and trip up but Blizzard really is too big to fail at this point they have a hopelessly addicted userbase. Nothing will stop Actiblizz now.Everyone else is dying, tho. Nintendo is looking awful. Sony is dying. Xbox is out of the industry. EA getting fucked in the ass. All these supplementary 3rd party developers are dying off. Massive layoffs across every video game company. Wave after wave of layoffs and it won't stop.

That they don't need to be defended by other powers who want them for themselves?

>>736087392I dunno, I worked with a 19-year-old last year and holy shit that little nigga refused to do anything.

>>736088145Yes, Trump is pro-Israel, like essentially every US politician, that is known. How does that prove that Israel "forced" him to attack Iran?
This is still an ongoing problem, right? My understanding is alot of people assumed the problem would be solved by the fairbanking act, but it's not and now everyone moved on, letting Visa/Mastercard get away with it.
>>736088239He isn’t making up anything. If you aren’t a Christian at this point, you’re trying to destroy the country. The only question is if you’re a useful idiot LARPer or a woke moron.

>>736088713>Porn is a luxury goodThat would be calling it "good."
>>736088364Which country? Because I think it's in the best interests of every nation on earth to destroy the US. From the muslims who have been the testbed of the military industrial complex, to the Europeans who have had their wealth and industries drained dry while under decades of vassalage, to the Chinese who the americans are foing everything in their power to prevent from rising as a polity. "I want the death of the US" is a perfectly reasonable, rational sentiment regardless of where on earth you are.

>>736088919aside from not being wrong
>>736088906That's the problem with you nazis, you look at religion as an entirely political phenomenon. To you, it doesn't even matter what God is actually real, and what faith is the truth; all that matters is whether it's "authentically European and white". You are essentially atheists.Believing Christ is the saviour of mankind isn't a political stance for me, and Christ could have come from anywhere.

american right wingers really do deserve less. indeed they deserve to be scorned, ignored and silenced, much more than how they pretend to be silenced now.not even the proof of their stupidity is enough to make them turn away from it, which is to be expected of a block that voted in a reality tv star as a leader and choose conmen and robbers as their representitives. they must be punished until they realize their faults.

>>736089136You're confusing politics with racialism. Racialism doesn't have to be political, it simply precedes all other forms of tribalism especially ones that fail outright to sustain an in-group bias such as christianity.

>>736084491I unfortunately don't think this does much for that. While I agree that it should, this is more about the processor vs the consumer rather than processor vs storefront.Remember, trump got on their ass because biden was pressuring the processors to track what could possibly be gun purchases and then using those tracking methods to apply pressure to gun-selling stores in order to suppress people's rights to own firearms. Anime and porn are not the main target of this so it's very possible the payment processors will simply happily keep doing what they do.>>736084567>immediately makes wokey retards seethelol

>>736089704If you truly believed Trump was an anti-war candidate, like some kind of pacifist Gandhi, you are beyond retarded. Trump didn't even mention that shit much, and when he did, it was mostly just a wedge he used against Jeb during the primaries.
>>736089704Israel is America's greatest ally. The nation of zion provides the American Empire with enemies to defeat in victory, and thus affirms the continued supremacy of Western Hegemony.If you can't appreciate the clear warrior spirit to sacrifice for victory, the object of human existence to achieve victory, and the glory of aesthetically destroying the opponents in your victory, you are not a real gamer and certainly not a real conservative.

>>736089778>eggs costing more is actually a good thing
>>736089916It is if eggs costing more is because you have won military campaigns against an implacable foe, such as the persian and arab heathen tribes.It isn't when it's to fund welfare for mexican immigrants and letting your women murder your own future soldiers.
>>736089916It’s not a good thing, but it’s not that bad of a thing either.
>>736089883Major sites are now range banning Bongs and Aussies to avoid all the broad scope and fine print on this garbage.

War is good. Only numales and long-haired hippies claim to hate war, even though wartime is the only time when they have a chance to schmooze with women. Masculinity, duty, eugenics, strength, battle. All of these words resonate impulses in the mind of a true Man with the drive to go out and obtain glory. You're nothing if you can't kill an enemy combatant, and the future war cannot come soon enough. Hoorah.
>>736089704Please refrain the chart.
>>7360868302012 was 250 years ago?
>>736085661This, if anything they would want to make exclusions for video games to let them get pushed out, but they can't say "I only want right-wing retards to get money, you gay commie faggot gamer pieces of shit need to join the army".
>>736084491I hope so.On one hand, businesses should not be obligated to provide a service. But this only applies if there are enough alternatives for the people affected.When you become a major infrastructure provider, and it is missused for political agenda, it goes too far.Happened in germany as well. And in france by VISA and Mastercard against a judge who ruled against netanhayu.
>>736084795Jesus I wish there was an actual chance of you faggots "dying for Isreal" already, so you annoying losers can go away. Can't think of a more annoying, self-victimizing bunch pathetic losers than you guys. You're alive for absolutely nothing. Just to sit around, cry all day, while taking resources from other humans that actually matter, and who actually contributes something.
>>736089883>Leftists love censorshipAnd that's why porn ID laws are overwhelmingly implemented today only in Recucklican controlled states, right?
>>736090078The greatest nationalist in human history, Joseph Stalin, immediately curbstomped his predecessors policies on free abortions and divorce rates because he knew that he needed troops to push forward the borders of the Soviet Empire. The nation which kills its own infants instead of the infants of their enemies is doomed to destruction and obliteration.
>>736090161>I also remember zoomers annoying the pajeets on the call centers from visa and mastercard thinking they were winning because the pajeet was annoyed from dealing with zoomersThis did, in fact, work. They are required by law to take those calls, no matter how many jeets they annoy. And those jeets are paid per call.
>>736090241That’s different because porn is actually evil unlike how leftists just want to censor Christianity.

Man brainwashing has gotten so bad that people will defend trump despite him lying about everything and selling the country off to Israel.Even more retarded is people who used to hugely antisemitic now swallowing the jew pill because of Trump.People who used to say for decades about politicians high up being secretly pedophiles also completely gave up their faux conviction the minute Trump was exposed as being one of them.So many people got exposed as never really having any true beliefs its actually sad. These are the NPCs that live their lives with no real purpose or belief in place if they can just as easily discard it at a whim.
>>736090301A war ready combat golem destroying orcs is more valuable than a pathetic useless halfling who just eats and shits himself.
>>736090215See we used to have this thing called "Antitrust law". Which was made to prevent exactly what is happening with Mastercard and Visa simply deciding to not serve most of the consumer market if they do not walk lockstep with their company policy. It started because a conglomerate of 3 railway companies were preventing competing train companies from using their rails by varying the gauge of the tracks, and this is far more pervasive than the railway trusts ever were; this encompasses the entire global economy.The "private company can do what they want" excuse ends at the tip of my nose.
>>736090037As they should. Just skip their bullying and block em

>>736090360How has Trump been exposed as being one? Because you saw someone say it on reddit?
>>736090362But you are giving orcs blowjobs.
>>736090301What purpose does your life have other than doing this all day? If you were to actually be sent to "die for Israel" why would it matter? Would any negative to the world actually happen as a result? Explain. Would your mother care after a week? I sure as hell know /v/ would be a whole lot better to browse if most of you were to be killed. So that's a positive.

>>736090365>See we used to have this thing called "Antitrust law".Those were stupid though. They prevented rugged individuals from arising as warrior-kings of wealth and taste to lead forward in the American Dream and build the greatness of our nation. For every Godlike Man who stands aloft from the plebian masses, I am willing to give my entire life, because the future of our White Race is to raise such Greatness into the stars and via vertical solidarity each such Overman is in and of itself a cause of enrichment for the common man, ipso facto, and their military victories must be strengthened by the blood of our sacrifice.>but they're JewsIt. Doesn't. Matter. Any. More.It was bad when the Jews were anti-Whiteness. But now they are pro-Whiteness and pro-Nazi. And that makes them based and our greates heroes. WE must win this conflict and in this common Volkist victory raise the greatest Race to its rightful place! HAIL THE VICTORY
>>736090587Funny how you proclaimed the total guilt of others being pedos for decades with way less claims and evidence, but not daddy Trump
>>736090587Everything he does is to help jews. Anti immigration because jews hate muslims, fighting fraud for more money for israel, trying to fight visa/mastercard because they're hurting jews from pushing more porn onto kids and more. Everything is done to help jews and nothing more.
>>736090241>muh precious porn!you will sensor that too when it suits you unless it involves nigger and troon worship of course
>>736090360>>736090576>you love da Joos because you don't give a shit about Brown retards that contribute nothing to humanity, and that possesses a Demon-religion that no actual human wants is being bombed Shut up.
>>736090365True. I do think it really demotivates people to split up companies, so I think it should be avoided.But as soon as they start getting too abusive, anti-trust should be considered.
>>736090686ok.
>>736084491This ruling actually doesn't fix anything in regards to gaming. If you actually read the FTCs letter is is solely stating that blocking payments based on the customers political or religious beliefs isn't allowed due to protected status. Your porn video games are not a protected class, they are irrelevant to this warning.
War must be going that bad for the middle easterns, huh?

Mentally ill, brainwashed, actual cattle. You deserve to suffer every horror this world is capable of inflicting on somebody.
>>736090763Anti-trust should be considered as a stopgap, but the laws are worthless if companies don't fear them. If all they can do from having three-four payment processors hold the entirety of American commerce hostage is a strongly worded letter, it's worthless.
>>736090757That's right anon! Boots on ze ground! Higher prices!
>>736090484There is "the left" and then there is "the woke"."The left" has some fundamentally good ideas, that completely get ruined by "the woke" shit "the left" has been trying to force down everyone's throat in order to achieve eternal dominance over their political opponents.Anyone opposing the goals of the Democratic Party is constantly labeled a "right-wing extremist" or even a "Nazi" these days, because "the woke" have completely run out of arguments.2012 was Obama's reelection. They really felt like they had their foot in the door to change America (and the entire West) forever in their picture.The people didn't agree with that, which is the "danger to OurDemocracy" they have been fighting against ever since. "The woke" broke "the left's" neck.
>>736090838>started a war against IranActually that was Bush.

>>736090793The problem is the tards here thinking that their mentally ill obsession with tying shit like porn game to politics means that on a legal basis that also makes them apply. You have to remember, the average IQ here is around 65
>>736084491WE ARE THE RESISTANCE
>>736090689NTA, but I don't care about Trump nor anyone potentially molesting 14 years olds as long as Brown people stop coming here in droves, and mental-illness is shunned like normal again. If it makes you feel any better, I don't give a fuck about the kids starving in Africa either. Not my problem, not my kids, siblings, etcetera.
>>736090970Why wouldn't it make them apply, because you find them "Icky"? Last I checked the FTC didn't say what it was about, just for them to stop doing it in general. Way to describe yourself, braindead nigger.
>>736090931We will have all those things by the end of his term at this rate. This is just a little bump but is part of the plan.
>>7360910412 more weeks, right?
>>736090793>>736090970The fucking cope is off the charts lmao.You lost. Puritan niggers always lose and you're on the wrong side of history.
>>736091073More like 2 years
>>736091040>Why wouldn't it make them applyBecause the law already defines what the protected classes are you utter fucking retard. You cannot deny service to someone because they are liberal, THAT is the extent of the law, that does not mean you can just go "Oh that also means you can't deny it to everything liberals like". Seriously, are you fucking retarded, are you 13 years old? HOW ARE YOU THIS FUCKING STUPID?
>>736091008>NTA, but I don't care about Trump nor anyone potentially molesting 14 years olds as long as Brown people stop coming here in drovesBut they will keep comming because Fantaman carves living space for someone else where brown people lives.
>>736090875>There is "the left" and then there is "the woke".Distinction without a diference.>They really felt like they had their foot in the door to change America (and the entire West) foreverSo they abolished Monarchy, kept the Throne vacant, and legally guaranteed a system that runs on subversion.>>736090962>And they did it.In 1776, yes.
>>736091008So you would worship jews, start nonstop wars and raise grocery and gas prices just because you dont like seeing brown people? Grow up.

You're free to exclude anyone for any political belief they have. There is no law that protects you being a republican. You're just lying to yourself to convince yourself that this is totally only protecting us based trad Christcucks and not those icky C00MERS. When in reality this applies to them as well, they don't NEED a reason to have protected commerce, all legal commerce is protected under the law. Anyway sorry your parents were related.

>>736090430Hopefully! In fact, never stop pressuring no matter who's in office.
>>736090121Its not about the current price of groceries, but how idiots will eagerly flip their script because they are so parasocial to their red team that theyll gulp down whatever fox tells them to.Its exhausting to see their narrative change in real time when any wedge issue comes up. Remember how the word choices regarding the Kirk assassination changed when it became clear that the suspect wasnt brown? They went from villifying him like a filthy brownoid to that of a "misguided soul"

In part, because they look down on the people, who are (in their eyes) too stupid to think for themselves.It obviously has to be socialists who rule the people, because otherwise OurDemocracy is in danger!t. leaving the thread now, because this gets way too /pol/.

>>736091385Yeah I actually bothered to read the page and that's not even the worst part, there's also protection against stallingThis letter doesn't effectively "unban" anything, it just says rules can't be arbitrarily applied outside the terms of service. ie everyone is allowed to sell t-shirts using Paypal but Paypal now can't pick 1 person out of the group and deplatform them just because they don't like their religion or politics.

>>736091689Muslims are just another jewish bio weapon, in siding with them you are inevitably siding with the jews, the only winning move is to wipe them all out

>>736091849>once his presidency is overHis presidency will be over only when he dies.Just like Bibi he have no reason to give up the political power.
>>736084567we'll see how it plays out for now, will they find a new loophole or not. this law was primarily to prevent cryptobros from getting debanked, so we'll see how much the FTC actually gives a shit about enforcing it for anime tiddies.
>>736091986I'm just anti jewish and know that jews are afraid of muslims for a reason. They are wiping out every single power and control the jews have and it's magnificient to see the jews cry.
>>736091763Is that the cope you guys tell yourselves so you can keep larping all the time while never actually doing anything? Sad.
>>736091986>You'll side with Muslims because you're Brown and non-human like they are. Or a self-hating LeftyOr because I don't want more refugees in my country.My country is NATO members. Decades of meddling into Middle-East business on behalf of US (ie Israel) didn't stop refugees from the region. When Turkey solved out Syria crisis without asking USA permission syrians began returning home. And probably would do it faster if US didn't bomb them.
>>736091942Out of everything you '''guys''' tell me, this one I will never believe because of how implausible this would be.You're doing more harm saying it was fake instead of admitting it happened.

Trust the Plan

>>736092057>afraid of muslims for a reason.Well, the vast majority of sane humanity aren't very fond of a caveman religion that leads to its followers gutting/decapitating people because they dared to not say nice words about their Idol.

It's not that surprising though since you people literally reject the objective-reality by pretending men can be women. This shit doesn't happen in any other country. But for some reason, we decided in America that the brain-fucked should have their thoughts and opinions valued. Instead of them being rightfully deplatformed, and sent to the nuthouse like they should be. You don't see Japan nor China dealing with humans like this. That's because they aren't retarded.
>>736092891works fine for me

>>736092801Unless the US magically pulls oil out of their asses and ships the excess to countries with demand, the US won't earn a penny more. There is a reason why gas has to be imported from outside the US. Maybe you are smart enough to deduct the rest.
>>736093037America is one of the largest oil exporters in the world, Also they control venezuala now which is also one of the biggest oil exporters. Also once they control the strait of Hormuz in a few weeks, they pretty much control the entire world's supply of energy. That's where they're gonna pull oil out of their asses.
>>736092451>Trump just secured American power for the next 100 yearsHe started another war that will end in a stalemate, quiet withdrawal or a puppet regime that is resented by the population who quietly prepares to revolt. And he turned his allies against him and towards China.The US is more isolated than ever.

>>736093173Good luck being allies to China when you cant get enough oil and gas to run your countries while Russia starts breathing down your neck.
>>736093032This has been going on for a week. Do you also use greasemonkey? Maybe i should change it...or clear cookies for firefox
>>736093308I have Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey. I was always told 4chanX was a bit laggy so I just thought it was normal. I haven't noticed any significant decrease in performance lately, so it might just be you.
>>736093391I went from instant catalong and threads to randomly between 20 seconds to 5 minutes at every refresh.
>>736093297There are alternatives. China will sell oil. Their ships still pass through the strait.
