      United European army Against imperialists

      Pick one.

      The fascism is already here, the member states are just as susceptible to it. Fight in your own country against the fascists, or the fascists take your United European army for imperialist means.

    Western Europe should flood etsy with kickass stuff at really great prices to share and be cool to each other but then marks all sales as EU only. Use the US globalization as a way to squarely taunt the US digital bourgeoisie.

      I like your idea, but the bourgeoisie aren’t shopping on Etsy. Etsy shoppers are regular folk with very little political power (on their own).

      What your idea might do is piss off the Etsy shoppers who voted for him, and to that I say: every little bit helps.

      Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be more than a symbolic middlefinger, because intra-EU sales are very difficult for private citizens due to how expensive it is to ship from one EU country to another. This is based on shipping prices as displayed on Ebay if you want to have something from e.g. Italy or Austria shipped to Germany a couple of years ago, but I doubt it got any better.

        It absolutely isn’t expensive. Send last year a big 30kg package from Austria to Germany (because I was moving but didn’t want to drive all the shit), was charged something between 20-30€, and I believe that’s the same price in all of the EU

    Have you ever seen such a schlubby looking President? Like his arms are down, shoulders as down as far they can be. Of course he’s not doing the accordion hands thing which is sort of a plus for him. That suit looks like off the rack too, I bet he gets them tailored that way heh. He sort of looks like he’s giving an 8th grade presentation for his class.

    I will say it’s highly probable this picture was chosen for those attributes, but it’s not like his content or speaking skills would make it better than what is captured in an image. So I’m guessing the image captures the essence of the speech.

    there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn’t.

    If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs

        It is.

        But why not just keep it and get the tech used at home? You don’t sell a valuable asset to an economic rival just to spite another economic rival. What you do is you cling on to every technological advantage you have in the market place and capitalise on it as much as you can.

      an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that’s one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it’s hurting them too much, well that’d be the ultimate humiliation.

        no not an export tarriff. That would mean we pay it.

        You usually pay $1 for this item and now you’re forcing your citizens to pay 150%? ok, from now on my prices have increased by 100% so now your citizens must pay even more
