Hey guys, who created the post WW2 world order and trade? WE did. Now you're crying that what we created and made us the richest country on Earth, EVER, isn't fair?

 

[Lily]

Fucking idiots.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

At one time, we allowed slavery, too. Changing that was a hard and painful (bloody and violent, actually) process. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't have done it because it was short-term inconvenient?

 

[Weeg]

We are no longer rich LILY!!! We have negative net worth. Afterr WW2 and until the 80's we were the richest but not now! TRUMP is fixing this!!

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Yes, we rebuilt Europe after WWII ... and our "friends and allies" have been screwing us on trade and taking advantage of our largesse ever since/ That is ending now. I'm for MAGA. I don't give the slightest fuck what the rest of the world thinks or how it effects them now we've taken away their Uncle Sam Teat.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Just because something seems, at the time, to be a good idea doesn't mean it can't be changed when people realize it's actually pretty shitty.

 

[Lily]

But has it been shitty? Or is it shitty in certain sectors of the economy?

 

[Lily]

Do you really believe we'd be better off making cell phones here?

 

[Lily]

The cost of a mobile phone would be minimally 2-3x more expensive.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I believe the Americans hired to work in the facilities manufacturing those cell phones would be better off, yeah.

 

[Weeg]

yes

 

[Lily]

But the rest of us? Those that use technology for business?

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

And with slavery having been mentioned, China engages in it. So what's more important? Cheap cell phones, or not supporting slavery?

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

How much $ is morality worth?

 

[Weeg]

Lily supports child slaves

 

[Lily]

Don't pivot on your argument. So, you believe in stopping slavery now? Wherever it exists?

 

[Lily]

Sounds pretty interventionist to me.

 

[Weeg]

YEP!! Thats how countries like china can make things cheap and liberals support child slaves

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

How is not supporting it interventionist?

 

[Lily]

I don't know, it seems it can cost as much as $400 million dollars, ask the Qataris.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'd call it 'interventionist' if we sent our military over there to free the Uyghurs.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

But just... not buying what they're forced to produce?

 

[Lily]

Prove that unpaid slaves are making cell phones.

 

[Lily]

So, how do we do something about the Uyghurs being imprisoned?

 

[Weeg]

And thay also trash the enviroment in order to make things cheaper than we can! LILLY hates the ENVIROENT!!

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I'm sure you're capable of typing 'Uyghur slave labor' into Google. I believe in you! You can do it!

 

[Lily]

We have slave labor in our prisons. Hello?

 

[Lily]

Prisoners in the US are the only people legally allowed to be treated as slaves.

And have I stated support for that? Or have I condemned private prisons, particularly, for that very reason?
