“Globalization is the redistribution of American wealth to foreign countries.”

Capitalism has always been global, so I assume that we're talking about the change in our trade balance and calling that globalization?

You’re right, now can you help me understand why some ppl want to see us fail and why they’re not mad at foreign tariffs?

the Chinese would still be living in mud huts and eating dirt versus being our adversary.

Their GDP has outpaced ours by 500% over the last 20 years.

And we’ve financed and protected the transition via trillions in a blue water navy designed to offer tranquil trade across the globe. The word cuck should be synonymous with “free market sycophant”.

Without us and "globalization", the Chinese would still be living in mud huts and eating dirt versus being our adversary.

With profitable trade and the peace of Pax Americana, the inevitability is that the countries we deal with will move up in economic status/SOL.

Is this just a China thing or fighting that reality of how trade leads to more peace and improvement?

Trade isn't a one-way street. No country has benefited from "globalization" as much as the US.

and why they’re not mad at foreign tariffs?

Mad? Emotional thinking is for poofs.

And these tariffs affect the domestic economies much more than they affect us. It's largely a nothingburger for the US.

Yet it is when the US wants to leverage that trade. One way street that others can but we cannot.

So the ppl against tariffs after two days aren’t the emotional ones? Hmm

Taxes for our goods is bad but us paying taxes for goods is good? Makes sense.

Have started several thread on this very topic. Miller is correct.

Deciding that we would rather be making t-shirts instead of doing more sophisticated scientific and engineering feats is a bizarre one from some MAGAs.

I'll say it again: we don't want most of this lost industry back. It is a waste of our potential to focus on reshoring industries that do not have geopolitical strategic benefits. There are simply more valuable things a country like the United States could be doing than most of these industries.

I think the cries for mid-century manufacturing is for a generation of unindustrious, dimwitted millennials and gen xers who want a clock-in/clock-out job that doesn't require particular skills or knowledge to get checks so they can have treats.

Steel the backbone of American power? what year is it
