Usually I am sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. However, that goes out the window when their government is hostile and I am watching family struggle due to the trade war.

Ever heard of realpolitik? Being righteous doesn’t matter on a geopolitical scale, especially not when it comes to an imperial superpower currently in the midst of its death throes. I’m afraid you’ll have to come to terms with billions of people understandably revelling in hundreds of years of a country’s utter nonsense finally returning itself to sender. Might be irrational, but it’s definitely not without precedent.

    Mhm… I’m sure you have some solid reasoning for that claim that you’re withholding for good cause and not for a complete lack of substance.

    But you're not an asshole because the very shitty belief you have is part of a bigger picture, or something. Pathetic.
