I was a regular reader of peakoil forums before they shut down. I know about that shit.

I actually asked chatGPT a similar question. it had a politician response.

How could the US reduce its trade deficit without increasing inflation or unemployment?



Reducing the trade deficit is a complex issue, and there is no single solution that can guarantee success without creating some trade-offs. However, here are some possible ways the US could reduce its trade deficit without increasing inflation or unemployment:
  1. Encourage Domestic Production: The US can reduce its trade deficit by encouraging domestic production through various policies, including tax incentives, subsidies, and regulatory reforms. This would make domestic products more competitive, and hence reduce imports and increase exports. However, it is important to balance such policies with maintaining free trade to avoid retaliation from other countries.
  2. Promote Innovation and Research: The US can invest in research and development to create new products, technologies, and services that are in high demand in other countries. This would increase the competitiveness of US exports and help reduce the trade deficit. Additionally, innovation and research can create new jobs, thus reducing unemployment.
  3. Negotiate Better Trade Deals: The US can renegotiate its trade agreements with other countries to reduce trade barriers, increase market access, and promote fair trade practices. This would help boost US exports and reduce the trade deficit. However, it is important to ensure that such deals protect the interests of domestic industries and workers.
  4. Address Currency Manipulation: The US can address currency manipulation by other countries that artificially reduce the value of their currency to make their exports cheaper and more competitive. This puts US exports at a disadvantage and contributes to the trade deficit. By addressing currency manipulation, the US can level the playing field for its exporters.
  5. Improve Education and Training: The US can improve its education and training systems to develop a skilled workforce that is better equipped to compete in the global economy. This would make US workers more competitive and enable them to earn higher wages, reducing the risk of unemployment.
Overall, reducing the trade deficit requires a balanced approach that considers both short-term and long-term goals. Any policy aimed at reducing the trade deficit should be designed to promote economic growth, increase competitiveness, and create jobs, without causing inflation or harming domestic industries and workers.

Not just today. Europeans have been pursuing colonial subjugation of the rest of the world for centuries. Ever since Voltaire's time, in fact, and arguably even earlier. If you take a step back, Indo-Europeans are one of the most expansionist cultures in the history of humanity. They've been mass colonizing ever since their ancestors left the Pontic-Caspian steppe around 5,500 years ago. Their first victims were the natives of Neolithic Europe, where they displaced/exterminated the local men and took the women, and India, where they created the caste system with themselves at the top.

Subsequent Indo-European waves included Alexander's conquests in West Asia, the Roman Empire, and the various Persian empires, all of which followed the same basic pattern, but they became largely contained on land due to two factors: 1. the rise of Asian nomads like the Turkic and Mongolic empires, which defeated and drove them out of the steppe and 2. the constant competition from Semitic peoples, especially the Arabs, who basically kept both the Persians and the Europeans proper in check. Gradual divisions within the Indo-European sphere, especially between the kingdoms of Europe and that of Persia, further weakened their expansion.

Unfortunately, they found a way out of this land based containment about 500 years ago with the rise of the great trading empires of the Mediterranean. That, along with the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions, started them off on their second great migration, the result of which we are all aware of and live in the shadow of, today. The rest of the world really can't afford a third great Indo-European migration, but as it is, geopolitics necessitates working with certain Indo-European groups against others, because they've taken over so much of the world that you can't really afford to say you're going to make enemies out of all of them any more.

Yup this is something not discussed due to political correctness that once you notice you just can't shake it away, After a while even coincidence doesn't make sense it's almost as if a template and not unique to Indo Europeans either more like a product of natural selection by Eurasian steppe on its populations Mongol Yuan dynasty had a caste system in their governance like in India, Indo-aryan Sri Lankan pogroms against their Tamil minority were eerily similar to what Europeans did in Americas Turkic cultures were famous for their brutality back in the day, Even in China you could see the difference Northern Chinese historically have been exposed more to Nomadic population from steppe and they are more patriarchal,aggressive,tribal and sexist but also egalitarian than their historically more agrarian southern counterpart, in Steppe such a mindset makes perfect sense for survival, it's the same scenario in India as well Indo-Aryan majority North India and Dravidian majority South India are like two different countries in terms of mindset,culture,attitude towards women and priorities in life, perhaps genes affect our behaviour more than we would like to admit?

In fact, diversity roles overall are now finding themselves without use in this economy. Guess it was just a fad to make more money off of BLM movement.

Tiktok allowing longer video should go a step further and replace youtube. YT is extremely hostile to user and creators. Time for a reality check.

well, Northern Chinese has almost 0 Mongol influence. There's literally more influence on Northern China from India than from Mongolia due to Sanskrit origin words: 刹那 (ksana), 苹果 (bimba), 涅槃 (nirvana), 昙花 (udumbara).
