@papush tariffs when used specifically and with reason can be good inside the own economy to prevent disruption. But blanket things like trump is just plain bad.

The EU has tariffs on chinese EVs if I am not mistaken, to combat them being heavily subsidized by the chinese state and protect the holy cow that is the automobile sector. Though tbh they made their bed themselves by sleeping in terms of innovations.

@aetios @vijfhoek Like tbh it would happened anyway. Far-right just loves to play the victim all the fucking time. Sadly we can't just ignore the idiots

@aks @volpi this is a very interesting chain of points. There should certainly be boundaries with online personas in generals. A bit of escape from reality is fine and all thats why we read books, watch films and other stuff. Its a distraction from the harsh reality for a bit. Mostly good for the mind. Not always being negative is a nice thing.

There certainly is a problem which people which dissociate from their real selves. I have only met so many furries (for example) in my life, most of them were completely harmless and likeable people. Just some guys having fun I guess.

But some oddballs would really obcess over this. Which tbh is not good. Such illusion as you guys say might lead to further harm for oneself and others.

As with everything moderation is a must. Most people in my bubble use anime-avis since they like them but most people will not think they are them. Maybe its just some kind of idol for them or something they thought as cute.

Its important to care I think.
