Clickbait article. They literally write the prompt to ask for this exact definition.

You can’t ask an AI prompt

“Hey, if I wanted to calculate a tarrif for every country the US trades with and base it on their bilateral trade deficit how would I do that?”

It’s like asking for a general formula to solve Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0 and being surprised you get the quadratic formula.

You literally get the same formula using DeepSeek too. Useless clickbait.

The incompetence isn’t calculating trade deficits. The incompetence is using this and calling it a “reciprocal tarrif”

Yeah this is like the least concerning thing I’ve heard. No one gives a shit if some dude downloaded TV shows or pirated some games. That’s like 80% of the engineers I work with.

Something like this would be good

They got the bombs and we got the, we got the

We got the guillotine

We got the guillotine, you better run

/woosh I guess. Resistance to fascism can be called a “felony” too. They called Nelson Mendela, Malcom X, and MLK terrorist too. Maybe take some context for the people that control those definitions of what a “felony” or a “terrorist” are today. Because if you’re gonna keep listening to the definitions they use today then you would be better deciding first which side you’re on.

I’ve explained what I’ve done in other replies to my comment. TLDR: connect with DSA and PSL in your local branch. Or find the best organization resisting ICE right now. Which may literally just be YOU if your area is small enough. And it that case you should be getting to know your neighbors and coworkers asap.

I’m not just rambling online. I’m literally here trying to get people to organize locally. That’s kinda the point of this thread.

I hear myself being critical of the politicians doing fuck all to bring material changes. But I guess if we fall further into fascism while liberals resist “enough” symbolically to make us feel better then I’m sure all the brown people that get disappeared to GITMO and ElSalvador will feel some graditiude to our support.

Do your hear yourself? Probably not.

I literally told you something effective to do. Which is what you asked. Or did you want me to point to a politician doing a “better” performative dance that you can follow and use as a reason to do nothing else in your own life?

Not sure if this comment is satire in the way I think or if you really are missing the point that the definition of “terrorism” is a flexible definition that western countries use to classify groups that (morally or not) resist US Imperialism.

Either way. You’re close to understanding “Blowback” to US Imperialism and I can respect that.

Not the right comment thread but thank you for participating in the downvotes with me.

I’m not an elected representative so the ways in which I do things are not in the ways I criticize them for not doing. That being said you can still do something.

Get organized with your neighbors and your coworkers to protect you and those around you from ICE. The best way to do this is forming tenant unions and workplace unions. Even if they are not officially recognized by either they are a great place to start getting to know your neighbors and coworkers better. Making sure they know their rights and helping to organize protection if one of you is targeted.

Work with organizing like PSL and DSA. They are both offering local outreach and ICE resistance. If they aren’t in your area look for an organization that is or look at starting a local branch.

It’s a lot more productive than gloating at a representative that’s bought and paid for by corporate money and lobying groups and pretending his publicity stunt is doing anything.

And not a single person listening needed to hear “what’s wrong”. Libs can’t just keep saying “look at how bad this is” and actually point to what their plan is to do something about it.

There is not a single person paying attention to this that had their mind changed on the topic of Trump or Elon. Seriously. We are exhausted with hearing libs tell us “these guys sure are bad” huh.

On the floor filibusters like this are THE definition of performative. Especially when it’s not meant to delay to do something like whip votes. Which this isn’t even doing.

Also, I’m pretty sure I could shup down Congress for a day with a convincing enough phone call.

Libs so excited to see anything. I’ll let them have this. Even though it’s performative at least it’s better than most “resistance” so far.

I mean we got the president admitting that he sent an innocent person to a maximum security prison in another country. Oh and he’s just like “yeah. Nothing we can do now”

But doing a record filibuster when not actually blocking anything is cool I guess.

Think of it less about nation states and more about where the concentration of capital is and it makes a lot more sense.

Yeah. At this point nothing short of an armed revolutionary takeover is gonna cause anything to move back. And that’s not happening either.

There is no “becoming a first world democracy again”. That ship has sailed. Fascism doesn’t have term limits. And we are in the thick of it now.

I think one thing the rest of the “first world democracies” missing is that the imperial core doesn’t just go Fascist alone. It drages the rest of you down with it. Dont get comfortable watching from a distance and shaking your head at the “silly Americans”. Your democracy’s are next.

Yes. But I think you underestimate passive acceptance. Half this country is not paying attention to anything that doesn’t directly damage their ability to eat and pay rent. If their social media algorithm doesn’t show them it then they basically have no idea and respond to surveys with the idea of “yeah, I don’t like criminals in the country”.

Normies dont disapprove of anything until they literally have it happen to their face. They’ll be passively accepting until the day they or someone they know gets a visit from ICE and disappear.
