I think that this is probably not the case actually

I really hope France vetoes that deal

I hate how trite this is but:
"Hitler likes deals that aren't worth the handshake they are written on, roll with the punches, give him the lowest baseline territorial concessions you can offer, talk up the importance of the deal for the benefit of his ego and hope he moves on"

Like who are these people that just have no fucking spines

I have no respect for like 90% of politicians right now, but good on Canada for actually having people with testicles

Vietnam Syndrome is insanely contagious among liberal regimes apparently, because so many of these fuckers are just entirely averse to any kind of belligerence ever even when it is so clearly necessary

>>766571
The flipside of that is that Canada's attitude towards their liberal party literally did a 180 purely because they were willing to stand up to Trump while the conservatives wanted to cuck the fuck out, but regardless, stand on your fucking principles and fight back even if it costs you something

>>766575
This too, it essentially lets you position everything as Trump's fault and blame the conservatives in your nation for alot of shit

>>766576
Euros have spent a pretty decent amount of time trying to build an identity as something other than vassals to the US, especially after the Iraq War, if they had adopted an aggressive counterstance against Trump, I believe they could have stood

I mean the EU also isn't some tiny micro market either, the US would be absolutely trashing itself if just Germany and France were willing to step up to the plate and say "no fuck off retard"

>>766583
I don't believe that the EU would have been able to completely close rank on standing up, but I think the major players could have closed rank and twisted Trump's arm instead of cucking out

It's a trade war, not a trade "get fucked in the ass"

Especially because the current US tariffs even with the concessions are still disastrously bad

Drill baby Drill in the North Sea, let those Norwegians continue getting their big fat stacks

Prices are going to go up, and shit will hurt, but that's the whole Vietnam Syndrome thing, you can't be so afraid of belligerence that you capitulate at every opportunity because "fighting back will hurt guys!"

Because as it is, you are either having prices going up and not fighting back or prices going up and you are

>>766600
Yeah I think that's their plan, and that plan is the most flaccid dumbass "appeasement" plan that you could use

The plan is just hoping that the guy who absolutely hates the EU will get bored of assfucking the EU

And then he will for whatever reason choose to renegotiating how he assfucks you, like maybe using more lube or not going as deep

I'm highly doubtful of that strategy, because for one Trump genuinely thinks that tariffs are a good policy, two he actually fucking despises the EU and every single leak from his admin indicates that they want to torment the EU as much as possible (I wouldn't even put it past them to aim to break the EU up), three I don't see how they will suddenly have the willpower and leverage later on to renegotiate when he is only getting strengthened

I mean, I do have a preference for much more forceful and aggressive foreign policy, especially from the liberal and progressive types that have just been complete pussies in recent memory, so I am a bit biased in favor, but I see Canada as having absolutely walked away looking strong while the EU is walking away looking weak when they had way more economic leverage

I like the chicken bakes and I will go to costco just for that

Where the hell do you live that Costco is that far?

Costco in the OTHER CITY from mine is only an hour and a half away

I think it was poor wording to be honest, I don't think the thought process was "TERFs are only bad when America is involved" but rather that "TERFs have been dramatically empowered by foreign christian groups in the US"

>>766637
I think when you look at this whole conservative moment, it is top down and very much international in spite of the nationalistic rhetoric, I mean Rupert Murdoch wasn't even an American

But Christian financiers in the US really do bring the fuckin' money

I see

Yes

Hm?

Hold on I'm gonna get something to eat

self care is important, but I dislike the term because it is part of a broader process by which people overlly uh I forget the term

Clinicize language when it shouldn't be clinical

Because saying "self care" instead of like "taking a break and unwinding" is much more vague and lets you kinda get away with doing things that don't qualify as actual self care but are in fact bad

>>766880
Yeah, it's a huge issue to be completely honest

I don't think people should use academic or professional language unless they are an academic or professional

Sometimes it's useful to have a shorthand to refer to a specific action so you don't have to like go into some super long drawn out defining of an action, but if you are dealing with someone that doesn't let you define your actions in good faith, you shouldn't be interacting with them

Alright gang

What do we feel about the King's Indian

Should I learn another opening

Or keep running the King's Indian

Because the Russians, they know all the King's Indian theory

So if I am up against a Russian, they outplay me
