Piracy is when I produce something, ship it across the world, pay the tariffs and then sell it at competitive prices
Isn’t this the “free market” that they keep saying is the best thing ever? Do they not like it when their invisible hand sweats US car manufacturing into the trash where it belongs?
No. Free market is when the bourgeois in the imperial core are able to privatize the gains and socialize the losses in complete and utter peace. Anything else disrupts the invisible hand of the market and must be neutralized immediately.
I was being facetious because any time capitalists talk about regulation, they act as if it’s inhibiting their ability to make money, and then they turn around and want very similar regulation to protect them from the competition in the same markets they want deregulated. We’re dancing around the same point.
I know. My reply wasn’t meant to be a refutal whatsoever, rather just a rephrasing of your point as a satirical answer.
Western car manufacturers are a bunch of pussies. “How dare the chinese come and sell their much more affordable cars! Ban them! But not before they produce OUR cars which we will then sell at a higher price”
DO WHAT YOU WANT 'CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE!
YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Yar har fiddle-dee-dee, but at what cost???
Wow I can’t believe that threatening to invade countries repeatedly, violating your trade deals with them repeatedly, and actually stealing their industry would make those countries look for other trade partners! Surely another 500% tariff on canada and mexico will get them back on board.
Also, fucking lmao at this photo
That’s so sad. Hey Siri, play “Black Sails at Midnight” by Alestorm.
dear god please send Chinese electric pirate ships to blow up our car manufacturers please please pleasepleaseplease
Will I finally be able to.download a car?
the usual mood: defending free market when you’re winning, fighting against it when you’re losing
