@caekislove people blaming free trade when the blame is on gubmint burning money on bullshit free gibs projects, buying (and creating, via mass immigration) votes which leads to runaway inflation.

@bonifartius @caekislove Also bombing countries, which gives people an incentive to immigrate.

@xianc78 @caekislove what should've been done is give one chance at developmental aid to 3rd world, because everyone profits from it in the end when it works.

if they fuck it up, they fuck it up, not my damn problem. euros and asians pulled themselves out by the bootstraps dozens of times.

it really is tiresome.

Well, Asians anyways. Europe coasted for decades off the fumes of the Marshall Plan until they slowly arrived at the place they are today. Cheap Russian gas gave Germany about a bonus decade or so. All the migrant drama is a symptom of European decadence, rather than the cause.

100% agreed on the point that the only reason there was a "deal" in the first place is because of governments meddling with shit they never had any business meddling with.

@caekislove @xianc78 i was talking about euros as a race. aren't marshall plan and trading gas another example for them fixing their problems? us certainly profited off of the financial injections, if russia didn't profit from the gas deal, they wouldn't have traded their gas.

then you have africa where colonialists left them fully functional societies.

@caekislove @xianc78 returning to topic, people reduce it to "expensive nike" from bangladesh, while it is about that you can have 5$ shoes now. that's what central planners always promised but never delivered.

this also has negative effects because people get wasteful, but you don't have people working in the mines without shoes anymore. free trade makes sense because if it's free trade both ends are better off in the end.

so, that rightoids copy commie hate on free trade smells of psyop.
