You know what comes with a depression right? America is already setting the stage for its fascist phase. I wonder who the good guys will be as America turns heel.
No matter how much I despise the US, I don't think I'd ever pick Nintendo or Ubisoft over American game companies. Those two alone are doing wonders to destroy everything we used to love about video games.
Outside of Software, I can't think of anything I buy that's American.
I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.
Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.
For example: A scary amount of Europeans don't know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their "processed cheese product". And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.
Coca-Cola also own a lot of "local" flavoured drinks.
Yeah. The countries that can choose to not do trade with America and not suffer too much because of it.
That's basically Trumps politics, making people suffer. Imagine voting for someone just because you want others to have it worse than you do. Like there is nothing to gain and everyone loses.
It's not even stupidity, it just pure hatred and disdain for other people that fuels MAGA.
"Some of you might die, but that's the price I'm willing to pay for it". Literally Shrek-like cartoon villainy.
