US Politics Thread

That’s why I’m here… show me the other side of the coin, it’s probably going to be opinion based but I’d love to hear it. I’m more than happy to be put in my place fact wise too if there is doubt.

To be honest, there is so much wrong with your posts from an economic theory and reality standpoint I am not sure I have the energy, especially after that match today, to break them down point-by-point. You got a few facts correct (basic understanding of the current stats of dollars position as a reserve currency, stating that the economy is different to the equity markets), but your analysis is based on false assumptions or wholly incorrect understanding of how markets work (and the current state of them), how elements of Trump’s proposed economic policies would actually impact the US (and world) economy, and the implications of China’s ongoing economic and geopolitical policies and actions (domestically, with US, and across the world).

As far as your political analysis and forecasting, my counter view is based on extreme disagreement with your base stance and assumptions, as well. But that would be entirely opinion driven, if I do consider mine to be educated and informed, so not sure there is any point in arguing on those points. Neither of us are likely to change the other’s position.

You do realise hell isn't a thing? It's part of a very old story designed to scare people into compliance with authority. A bit like the boogeyman man, or describing someone as the 'next hitler'.

I am an atheist, so I do not believe “hell” exists.

But that reference is called a metaphor.

And the fact you have replied with that non sequitur is exactly why you deserve to be called a Good German.

I realise it, and that’s our opinion, but I think we’re in the minority here, which neither makes us wrong nor right.

You need to open up to the fact people base their whole being on their beliefs, try to see it from their angle, despite the inherent differences.

Until someone proves otherwise, nobody knows a thing.

Yeah, I really don’t need to do any such thing.

What are your qualifications to offer your opinion on Trump winning, dissolving NATO, China being a responsible power, etc. in the first place?

Where’s your PhD in international economics from?

This is a forum and you can offer your opinion and then say prove me wrong . . . but every time someone has done that here in past the response to those who offer patient, thoughtful explanations is never, “You’re right; I didn’t think it through.”

So why are you going to be any different?

You won’t be would be my guess.

Indeed, apart from a couple of zealots who police the US politics forums like their view is sacrosanct.
Calling me a 'good German' because I won't join in the hate with them. It seems lost on some that there is more totalitarian behaviour and abuse on this thread than any trump rally.
