You. Don't. Need. It

Doesn't the quarter pounder need me to buy his k-cups?

Maybe I'm just out of touch, but are people still doing the retarded bullshit of buying a new flagship phone every year or two? It was already barely justifiable the past decade or so (especially when they started doing stupid gimmicks like "MUH THIN BEZELS" and removing features to make their new products seem innovative and different), but now smartphones seem to have entirely plateaued. What do you even get out of a new phone other than a processor that's 5% faster?

Damn that's crazy I also don't buy those 3 things mentioned.

He's literally correct tho.

You do NOT need to buy new iProduct™ Galaxy SwitchPad 1954621 for $3000 where the only difference is the name being one number higher every goddamn year.
You WANT it for purely vanity reasons that have nothing to do with practical performance.

says the nigga that has the money to afford it. I hope someone stuffs a quarter pound of wood up his ass

People will whine about a TV being $2000 but ignore how it will be user serviceable and bring back TV repair jobs.

If you want the current system to continue perhaps.
Then again, if no new wealth is created then consumption becomes a pointless game of telephone.

notice the no limit on cheesebvrger

That is absolutely true. It's also autistically missing the point. Are we going USSR style where everyone will live in shitty concrete apartment blocks and get their rations and nothing more? America is really on the ropes these days. Just be good tax slaves and live for a day that was in the past and is never coming back, bro. Die for diversity. Fight for feminism. Your wants are worthless. You can have water, air, and stale bread. Get. Over. It. Capitalist. Pig.

This is (you)

youtu.be/aHan_-6zvXU?t=178

Sure but this is coming from a guy who reviews video games and is surrounded by merchandise in all of his videos.

The peak consoomer is telling you to stop consooming because he is first and foremost a right wing grifter and the party line is now "you don't need it"

I do think cutting down on consumption is good. Just a hilarious mismatch of message and messenger.

I make enough money to buy these trinkets. I have the iPad, the iPhone, whatever console I want, built a gaming pc. Would buy a 5090 if it was in stock and closer to msrp.

But a 40k SUV and a 400k house is hard.

Still using my Samsung Galaxy S10 I got in April of 2020. Not once in this half decade have I thought "Damn I need a new phone".

That tweet reads like Deep State "make lemonaid from lemons" horse shit. The kind of propaganda Britain is famous for during WW2. "Oh get on with it, init". Fuck that grin and bear it nonsense. Life is getting measurably worse year by year and its all due to the elite stealing more of the pie

you dont need the new cell phone

you WANT the new cell phone

No nigger, i do not want or need either of your fake and gay projections
Why do i require a 24/7 spying cuck device, of which the one im posting with rn is so broke to shit and its planned oblescence is going into the trash sooner than later, why the fuck would i replace this piece of shit?
Oh yeah thats right, because every globohomo corporstion decided to grift you away from paper bills, nobody takes cash and its all about ecuck transfers, every fake and gay document needs a digital signature, you need to be ON CALL all the time and your employer also requires you to have one much less all the faggots grifting this fucking society closer to the antichrist than i withstand to bear
So no FUCK YOU
and FUCK all the firced railroading eith technology
Id sooner suffer a nuclear holocaust hard reset than deal with more braindead tiktok zoomer faggots and screeching social media whores than get what i dont WANT or fucking NEED but am FORCED to have because of all this fucking gay bullshit

Fuck you nigger

OP is actually right
when you stop keeping up with the joneses and just live the way you want to you're truly free.

Where do you get replacement batteries? I have the same phone and used ifixit for 2 replacements so far

I think a lot of people are having the same problem. Surviving can be achieved by doing the bare minimum and working a 9-5 (more like 8-6 with commuting) only nets you enough money for high end electronics or anime figurines.
It's no surprise a lot of people are choosing the former over the latter.
This entire phenomena is usually known as "degradation of the middle class".

And this quarterpounder fat fuck didn't need to make this post either, but he wanted to. Seethe, fatty.

Clean the poop out, it's full of poop

How fucking regarded is OP? Their lives were affected by not getting what they wanted. Any other questions?

Exactly, my iPhone 16 Pro was $1000.
An SUV is $1000 a month for 3.5 years!
A house is $2000 a month for 17 years!

Correct

I miss when phones had a fucking removable battery and charging ports that didnt shit the bed in 5 months
On that note, look at automotives
Now every fucking truck needs to be a fucking luxury vehicle with the gayest emissions cuckery for diesels and a fucking ipad zoomer screen attached for your mandatory electronics
Theres literally no way to opt out of all this faggotry because a DIY solution is also vastly more expensive than what it once was, used markets are fucked entirely and goodluck getting spare parts on 10+ year old shit, the eternal grift from MUH SUPPLY SNEED CHAIN ISSUES is never going away because the fuckers can just milk everyone of all their pennies once their done nickel and diming every other fleeced out fuckin pocket you thought you had

FUCK YOU

How cone thai ladyboys get a hilux champ and i cant you faggit nigger government jannoids?

People

shills, kikes, and chinks aren't people anon

no people are whining

I don't think that's the own you think it is

He is right. We need to get out of our houses more often. Get into the parks and call rude black people niggers.

Republicans and MAGA now unironically campaigning on "you vill own nothing and you vill be happy"

Clown world.

I need the new iPhone or you're oppressing me!

Grok: this tweet can be seen as an example of "cope"—a term often used online to describe someone rationalizing or downplaying a situation to deal with disappointment or envy. The tweet dismisses the desire for new gadgets as mere "want" rather than "need," and challenges others to prove tariffs have genuinely impacted their lives, which can come off as minimizing legitimate desires or struggles.

Why? Is he proud of being a fucking lard ass who virtue signals on social media?

when you stop keeping up with the joneses and just live the way you want to you're truly free.

Those seem the same to me. Don't exactly have the cash for a decent house and I know I'm not free if the landlord can come in whenever the fuck they want and/or kick me out.

That's another thing.
Car dealerships don't make their money from selling cars but from making you pay for 2 cars over the course of several years. Same goes for housing.

I haven't bought any of that shit for years. Nvidia can't even have my money for a new card because they fucked that up too. It's easy to stop spending money on stupid shit when you remove advertising from your life.

No, but I want the new PC tech and videogames. Again Republicans are literally telling you that you are going to be so poor you shouldn't buy anything but basic necessities.

Grim future for America.

You forgot to add how modern vehicles are intensely anti-consumer by the over abundance of electronic component that prevent any attempt at repair not done by a professional or using proprietary software.

This problem is especially dire within the farming industry, like already that tractors cost a fucking fortune now, you cant even repair them yourself, which make it so that small to mid scale farmers are basically paywalled out of potential growth and have to rely on tractors older than themselves (it aint rare to see 50 and more year old tractors still being in use because they are reliable and repairable by hand), its pure scummery.

Ready to bet Jews had something to do with that.

My battery is still good and holds charge like a champ.

Meanwhile, on the left:

you don't need a car

you don't need a girlfriend

you don't need a house

you don't need to retire

you don't need more than a $2K net worth at any time

you don't need red meat

you don't need internet access

you don't need to be informed

you don't need to care about anything but consumerism

Not getting a pc once every 5 year or more, with mid pieces so it dont cost a fortune nor is a pain to replace the parts if they break

You are a fucking retarded pleb if you are actually trying to have the best of the best at all time. Literally throwing money out the window for a overpriced piece of shit that will be either obsolete or outdated by the next year.

price out 9800X3D and 5070 TI in Canada

2x 4TB HDDS, 1x 990 SSD, 64GB ram, Good PSU and mobo for basic usable I/O, etc

over $4000

can get a capable samsung for $250-350

Westoid products would be $12,000+ and half have forgotten how to manufacture the tech they invented

This is from shit already made by chink slaves. Everything is communications and computing in the modern world. Just play the gacha or go to work and be happy with nothing goy

you didn't need the newest latest version though

That's his entire audience. He's a conservative basedboy.

You don't need to upgrade your PC for one simple reason: there aren't any good games coming out.

The quarter pounder

I agree, everytjing is getting to be a higher and higher leaps and bound to circumvent whilst the enemies of our once affluent nations will jjst cooycat and engineer broke ass solutions thereby undercutting everything amd everyone with a chynesium shortcut to saturate already bloated and stagnant markets
Offering the same at 2/3 the cost of competitors and the average npc just follows whats best for his budget anyways

If these faggots want to advertise austerity as a cultural shift, fine, but offer some fucking solutions that are the name of the game going hand in hand with such sacrifice
The hubris of it all and faggot expectations are what grind my gears, compounded by libshits that have never replaced a transfer case or think blowing a tranny is just normalized poopysex references

And on that note of tractors:
thedrive.com/news/38901/how-this-10-3-liter-one-cylinder-tractor-runs-at-zero-rpm
Gib me giant single cylinder tractor

At this point its almost better to return to villages utilizing beasts of burden like the amish, more reliable in the long run and self sustaining once you have the resources to feed etc

You measure the value of life by how much stupid electronic junk you can buy for cheap? Life was measurably better before any of that shit was invented. When men PLAYED sports, not watched them on teevee. When people were slim and fit, not gross fat pigs. When neighbors spoke to and helped each other. When niggers were generally polite and decent. You don't remember those days, but I do.

Well we have become reliant on these computational devices in our daily lives, and programmers get worse for every day.
This causes hardware that should be able to run those computational loads insufficient as those that programmed that algorithms are incompetent.
They create bloated programs that could have been 1000s of times smaller and faster.

They got mad at him because he told the truth.

Shit, as a reclusive person I wish the world cared less about getting the newest iSlop constantly.
I fucking hate how everything is tied around a thousand dollar device plus monthly service I almost never make or receive calls on.

goodluck getting spare parts on 10+ year old shit

You have to get a 10-20 year old vehicle that has sold millions GLOBALLY, not just your country

Someone smashed the fender on my 17 year old toyota, and I was able to buy a BRAND NEW one on ebay for $70. The local dealership still sells brand new oem alternators/starters/pumps/etc for my old shitbox. Toyota is still manufacturing my 1nzfe engine even though it was introduced in fucking 1999

Thanks to Black pandering in marketing I don’t buy anything anymore besides food silver and performance car parts

Things I want I can't afford now

But how does it affect you?

The quartering isnt even a midwit. He's a full pants on head retard.

I bought a house instead of wasting money.

For better or for worse I'm chained to this digital skinner box because the real world in America is still much worse.

Insane cope from a fat faggot with a thousand funko pops but he's not wrong. Don't buy new until the old one is broken, and always pirate digital media.

stop complaining about taxes!

just don't buy things!

Yeah, problem is i cant even afford to import a 25 year old toyota diesel hilux for 50k plus tip after all is said and done with 200,000km+ on the odo
And while i agree, just buying a econoshitbox isnt viable for my work environement, i cannot tow or ruck mud in the alberta oblast using a honda civic

I dont have an ipad
My cell phone is at least 4 years old with a cracked screen
I dont play video games

Now try housing costs. Or groceries, or car prices

But that is saying not to live the way you want? It is saying you WANT those things and could afford them if it wasn't for taxes so you should be happy not buying things you want and can afford

I don't need shelter. I don't need tasty food. I don't need insurance or education. I don't need family planning services or personal hygiene products. Therefore, I don't need to work for money.

Also this, the amount kf deflection fron shit that actually matterdaddies onto useless consumer crap is utterly ridiculous
Line these pontificating retards on a wall and have them shot alongside the corrupt niggerfaggots enabling these systemic exploitations of what was formerly sound money principles and an industrious, cognizant, ethical, inovative, and pragmatic in their ways of culture

Alive thing I don't have to explain shit

You. Don't. Need. It.

How about your job selling that garbage bro?

You don't need to own a coffee company.
You don't need your neogeo game collection.
You don't need classic arcade cabinets.
You don't need multiple private jets.
You don't need a bail out for your poor buisness decisions.

You WANT these things Jeremy, but you do not need them.

Stop begging people to buy your shitty coffee that you financed in the dumbest way possible.

They actually make money from selling used cars. Financing is done through a bank partner, not usually the dealership itself

He's got a point. Stupid goy have been conditioned into a life of endless unsustainable consumerism through cheap labor provided by 3rd world countries. No longer, Americans will start making their own sweatshops assembling iPhones for 20c an hour

It will be user serviceable

It will bring back TV repair jobs

Literally the only way this is not a completely retarded statement is if what you’re saying is people will keep them longer so they’ll need repairs, but even then that’d cut against the idea that these are high quality TVs that last awhile.

Looking forward to the return of the golden age of TV repair jobs though, big bonus.

I voted Trump three times. If you listen to the Quartering (a performative liberal saying shit for gibs) you deserve death by firing squad

With today's micro-devices using little voltage and generating little heat, there's no reason a TV can't last decades. I have LCD computer screens 25 years old, replace the backlight and boom it's good again.

And old picture tubes usually still work and can still be tuned up. Only a few need special software, which now is available thanks to archivists.

Correct, some people like to support creators that they like by purchasing products they sell. Crazy, i know. How does the retard in the twitter screenshot not see how that is exactly the same as multinational corporations exploiting poor countries for cheap labor to screw america out of jobs...?

They don't even want them. People want what the market tells them to desire. Manufactured desire for products you never actually wanted. Literal brain washing.

Shareholders do NOT need to see the number go up.

Of course the rich fat guy from Milwaukee, Wisconsin thinks that everything should cost more. Fuck this seething Onions consssuuuuming fat fuck.

Those people don't need to make anything either. Simple.

The quality has turned into shit. Nothing lasts. Importantly they populated like shit. Just because they have a nice city and resort doesn't mean they don't have hundreds of million in poverty

There was no need for them to make it in the first place. Literal crap comparison

FPBP

Just like how he doesn't need another Big Mac. Fats shouldn't be speaking about consoomerism

You can buy a touchscreen cellphone for $50 from wal mart and set up service for like $40. You don’t need their overpriced shit that destroyed our economy

I went to my dream vacation with a shitty Xiaomi phone and all the pictures I took look like ass. It was really painful to realize the only photos I can share with people back home ate the ones other people took. I saved for years to go on this trip, should've spend a bit on a good camera too.

based coffee shill

You do NOT need the new cell phone

You WANT them

What is planned obsolescence you fat retarded milktoast fuck

Right now I'm just looking for some 1"×8"x16' rough cut unfinished pine boards. Damn no one has them. I dont want that 3/4" thickness garbage, even the local mills dont have any- what a joke.

We're never returning to a prior point in the past. There is no magic sequence of buttons that can be pushed to recreate your rose-tinted childhood. The world was always as complex as it is now -- you were just less aware of it because you were a child. You need to grow up and deal with the here and now in its present capacity. It's fine to be nostalgic and sentimental for the past but the arrow of time matches only in one direction: forward. Wake up.

It’s only a bad thing if you continue with the current system. We are trying to change the system. We knew this going in. That’s why anti trump people look foolish trying to show the rise in prices on Chinese made goods like that wasn’t the fucking point.

Pretty much everyone agrees the current system sucks but as soon as someone tries something different people get very angry. Like crabs in a pot getting pissed off at the one crab that tries to go for the switch to turn off the burner

The first part about that masses being CONSOOOMERS is based and true. Second part about turning it as some retarded justification for tariffs is braindead.

Leave the multi-billion dollar corporation alone

Yeah, but I NEED groceries.

YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY

magatards defending this now lmao

It's the mythical great reset, only this version of it is differentiated primarily by being implemented by more retarded elites. And instead of the principle being something Marxist or just socialist, the primary assumption about this great reset is that the lower classes have gotten too greedy and need to make do with less as the elites become neo-aristocrats in full.

Comrade Supreme Leader has decided what people need. Anyone who disagrees with Comrade Supreme Leader is a traitor to the country.

I grew up in Communist Romania. Comrade Supreme Leader was called Nicolae Ceausescu. Everyone was hungry and poor. On December 25, 1989, Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu passed away due to a lead intoxication. Free trade flourished and now Romania is a prosperous country.

It turns out that the only thing standing between people and prosperity was Comrade Supreme Leader after all.

Long live free markets

Long live freedom of speech

Freedom always wins in the end

In Japan they make these little trucks without all the extra electronic add ons. Everything is stripped away except the truck part. They’re called kei trucks and they’re super cheap. Around $5000-$10000 to get one. At worst you may pay $15k for a brand new one. They’re ugly but you’re not paying for looks. Perfect for businesses that need a little delivery fleet, someone who needs to haul a lot of stuff, or if you need to send an anime protagonist to another realm. They’re banned in the US for not passing safety and emissions tests. Meanwhile guys in the US have to pay $40k-$90k for a brand new truck. Really makes you think

He's right, though. You don't need to update your phone every two years. It's retarded and wasteful.

kek they have betrayed every single of their supposed values just to own orange man

its all about the sticker they put on your head

once i argued with my mother for a long time and she kept arguing against what i was saying, my brother showed up and told my mother the exact same thing with the same exact words, and she agreed with him.

its not about words or ideas. they have just decided they didnt like you because you offended them and they will interpret anything you say in the worst way possible

just women who believe in astrology, faggots and sociopaths who lie to weak women to get pussy just like pedo priest

meeting safety emissions

It's a fucking DOHC, 660cc (likely turbo'd) engine with VVT and EGR. I mean forget that it is obviously emissions friendly- it is about the most ecocucked thing on the planet and from an engine perspective a piece of steaming shit.

only consume product when we instruct you to goy

Luckily for your ideological coherence, we're all going to be very, very mindful of waste soon, unless Trump decides to completely capitulate on his retarded tariffs. A great way to reduce waste is to deprive 99% of essential goods. We'll be pushing 100% efficiency! Everyone knows more efficiency is more good.

Telling people to stop consooooooooming slop is a grift.

Kill all redditfags

CONSOOMING is what makes Capitalism work, and while I'm a leftist I agree here. You don't need that shit from China or Temu. Luckily I make 6 figures so I can consume for the rest of you :)

I have a gaming laptop form 2020 doing perfectly fine. GTFOH with that shit.

Sounds like you're offering a way to end our suffering, seeing as society is shit now but was fine when everyone wasn't glued to their phone or every household on the block didn't have a console and people had to you know.. GO OUTSIDE and a sense of community existed.
I don't even know what my neighbors are called or how they look and I've lived in the city half my life but I moved to the city after idiot phones became the norm..
Wonder how the city was before it all.

Funny how no Trumpfag on this thread would accept this if a Democrat told you this.

You're a chink or a kike. Flat out.

IPad

Never touched an apple product in my life and never will. Fuck that shitty company.

phone

I buy a new phone roughly every 7 years, though that's about the time I've had my current phone so I'll likely need a new one soon

video game console

Have been dog shit since like the xbox 360. I don't know how anyone pisses away money on consoles when PCs do everything 10x better.

Yeah I want it

This is what toys look like now. It's all training kids to gamble.

An advanced civilisation should transcend the basic paradigm of wants vs needs or it is no longer advanced. It is degenerate.

“America’s entire economic model is based on endless consumption though”
To an extent, yes, in a way that consumption emphasized cheapened goods with minimal quality deferment (staples and fridges are still quality), while also creating purchasing of less durable or lifetime goods (You’ll spend for the longest lasting fridge, But purchasing of genuinely artisanal products such as the the last of Old Euro-centric design firms making elegant artworks and using fine silver for simple tableware in the US is no longer encouraged, you may think purchasing of such niche, but the sheer amount of family or friends that keep their grandparents or great grand parents Sterling silverware state how common it once was)

picrel “why is something with only 300 in silver cost 875?!”

Lifetime Brands bought Gorham, Towle, Wallace, and International Silver as each was in a various state of pre-bankruptcy or Bankruptcy

By purchasing one set, you support all the brands Lifetime’s keeping alive

Pays living wage to expensive North East.

Limited client base as not many people appreciate fine art simply for dining, meaning one person pays for 300 people’s mutticized families no longer purchasing.

Maintains 100+ year old facilities and libraries of Sterling patterns you can custom order

all likely with (hopefully) tax-business exemptions for the now difficult to manage companies and facilities

Only in as much as America produces. American wealth is not entirely imaginary, the economy has shifted to emphasizing high production and high-value services per capita models.

I WANNA SPEND AND BUY
PIZZA PIZZA PIE

YOU WILL OWN NOTHING GOY

Rightoids need Man On Youtube to tell them what they need.
NPC subhumans.

PLEASE BUY MY $100 FREEZE DRIED STRAWBERRIES

I HAD TO SELL MY NEO GEO GAMES SO MY WIFE CAN GET FLOWN AROUND BY HER BLACK BULL IN THE KEKPIT

PLEASE BUY MY COFFEE!!!

I do too (legion 5) and it's starting to age. Games now need 12gb vram just for fucking textures.

And so the Technology Sector collapsed overnight.

Trump is to blame for anti-gamer pricing.

His wife is a pilot.

In all seriousness, if the this is the message the right wants to sell, they need a new leader than because the big Cheeto unironically owns a toilet made of gold. Is that really the man you want lecturing you about responsibile purchasing?

all of that is true for his overpriced coffee that he endlessly shills

Republican capitalists and free market advocates are now defending communist rationing of goods and a self inflicted crashing economy

I am in my 40s. I lived in a time before the internet was common. If modern technology was regressed 30-40 years, I could live with it. It would suck at first, but eventually I would get used to it.

Absolute manipulative bullshit.

How come people didn't talk like this when Joe Biden was president?

All you need is a pencil and some paper. Even that it slightly extravagant.

free market lolbergs have deliberately overlooked chinese trade cheating, ip theft, currency manipulation, and tariffs put on out products. retaliation by exorbitant tariffs to get others to embrace free trade is unironically the most pro free trade position

And yet this fat fuck gets every console and game as soon as they release, even the games that are woke just so he can "comment" about them.

does it matter?
people are perfectly aware of what they want and what they need but to the market this difference is functionally meaningles
appealing to reason is as dumb as appealing to emotion, the masses only respond to desire
those who desire hedonism will not sease to complain just because they do not need it
Any attempt to deffend things such as tariffs should be done by appealing to the support of the people who desire whatever the imposition of tariffs has been set to acomplish
these kind of coments merelly signal boost the angle of conversation that is counterproductive to the comenter's intent

but why would i expect any nuance or big picture reasoning from TheQuartering

It's called free market, you don't decide what I 'need' neither does Trump. Putting any brakes on commerce and the market affects everyone negatively

I also don't need Quarterings 100 dollar overpriced coffee. Good thing this guy is broke now. He's felted.

Solid post

Because they're biased.

Exactly, I've decided to settle for sand and a stick.
It's really streamlined my tax filing process.

Correct, some people like to support creators that they like by purchasing products they sell

sounds more like a want than a need to me

He needs to know what he's talking about. It's a business expense at the end of the day for him

kek I don't have any of that shit and i still can't pay rent

You write and sound like you survive solely on semen.
How many cocks do you have to pleasure each week for sustenance?

He's not. The money will always be there.

I haven't bought any of those in literal years.

who is this even for? i don't buy things, i'd need expendable money for that.
i can't even afford the shit i own

The guy with the golden fucking toilet telling you not to buy useless shit is pretty ironic regardless if tickles your balls.

It doesn't matter if it is needed or not. No mother fucker is going to tell me what I can and can't buy or how much or how little.
That's the point of the push back. Everyone knows they don't "need" it, but that's not the point.

…The average farm size in the US is 466 acres, million-dollar custom machinery like combines are shared/loaned by multiple farms to distribute cost and increase efficiency of harvesting, Oil refineries process 80,000-300,000 42-gallon oil barrels into a bevy of petroleum products lubricants, ground and flight fuels, butane, paraffin, even base of plastics. Many cities suffer from the “high-end service and good” model of economics emphasized though. Businesses of intermediate to even large scale that once made high-end furniture that would’ve been hiring fell to barebones book-case makers for $120. In my experience, you can find furniture makers locally that will make such items, they may be as expensive or a little more because everyone uses the internet instead of looking for a local supplier. This doesn’t contradict my prior statement as high-end furniture makers got hit hard by shifting consumer attitudes towards craftsmanship (like Sterling Silverware makers). You can find in-house watch and grandfather clock makers in the USA, but the cost is 5,000-15,000 for mechanical in-house movements similar to Swiss Watch makers, Howard Miller being a Grandfather Clock maker, and RGM, Weiss, Devon, Keaton Myrick, and Dan Spitz making certain watches with in-house movements they themselves make, However Weiss is backlogged hard for his American Issue in-house movement, so you can only find Weiss in-house movement second-hand, it is the only watch with an in-house movement made in the USA for 2,000, most of the above are custom orders that you have to call in for and be prepared for sticker-shock.
Some manufacturing made it to today, but most jobs that could be in manufacturing were lost to offshoring.

chinese trade cheating, ip theft, currency manipulation, and tariffs put on out products

So why is Switzerland, the penguin island and countries with few or no tariffs on the US attacked with tariffs in the same way as China and the real offenders? Even those who argue in favor of tariffs can't explain or defend that. It's incomprehensible.

I decide what I need.

This new right-wing communism popping off is weird. He is telling you that you should only buy things you need for base-level survival, like we are animals who don't care about anything else.

He then, in the same breath, says, "How is this affecting you?" People can't afford stuff, and everything, including necessities, is becoming more expensive.

This is like when that guy said, "it doesn't cost you any money to lose money". I always knew right-wing people were stupid, but these are new levels of stupidity that I am genuinely amazed by.

Scary times when leafs are making sense

And all because Trump is doing it instead of Biden or Kamala.

The quartering needs to be sw*tted

Youtuber need to know what he is talking about.

That would be a change from the norm.

Excatly

Yes I do, gibs me dat for free.

This new right-wing communism popping off is weird.

It's not communism, just mutual respect. Eliminating the parasite class who relies on greed, and treating greed as antisocial, means rational people will be somewhat austere. Not to say there wouldn't or shouldn't be rich ones, but fewer grifters.

picrel

you don't lose all your equity in the home. they seize the house, sell it, take the equivalent value of the debt (+transaction fees), and then give you the remaining. not defending property taxes but it's not like they take everything when you fail to pay

I always knew right-wing people were stupid,

All memes aside the vast majority of their voting base are a combination of: high school dropouts, high school failures, poors, unemployed, rurals, blue collar types.
They're dumb as shit and easily manipulated.
But, you really can't win either way.
On the right you get a collection of literal low IQ losers and on the left you get a much more educated group, but they're bat shit insane or demon possessed.

that's a separate issue. OP was clearly referring to the china tariffs, which are at 145% or whatever it is now. i agree that across the board tariffs are pure retardation as a tool for raising revenues

This is like when that guy said, "it doesn't cost you any money to lose money".

Benny Johnson? He's always came across as a full blown propagandist who gets a script with talking points. Not really a surprise that he was part of the network that got secret russian funding.
Partisan politics at its worst

None of what you said is true. Except maybe the car thing. But that's because with adequate public transportation, you don't need a car. In fact, most people, when they move into an area with good public transport, sell their car anyways.

You are a right-wing communist for supporting this guy, by trying to change the subject to, "but but what about the other guy"

Tariffs on China is only a small part of the whole package of tariffs on dozens of nations including allies. That's what disrupts the global economy for no reason or benefit. I don't think anyone minds holding China accountable. Past administrations had similar policies.

As someone who has a good channel, I can tell you I learned the harsh reality that YouTube is a "scam." Too big channels did not make their million or high hundreds of thousands subs organically. There are decision makers behind the scenes who "pick and choose."

What is not mentioned is that every country has protected it’s craftsmen except the USA, you can import high-end Italian furniture, but if you attempt to export a Niagara Furniture neoclassical desk from New York to Italy it would be hit with an integrated VAT of 22%. Meaning those markets that could afford our goods refuse, while remnant firms are forced to compete in a plethoric firm favoring market offering 20 different luxury items, only 3 of which are based in USA to taste.

The above is an example. How many people have heard of these made in USA blue jeans of 60-89 bucks, which is 4-6 hours wage on 15/hr, or these ornate leather suspenders that seem cultured, have ornate imprints, are only 131 or 9 hours wage, but can’t be found anywhere?

make, make do, or do without

Ya im sure there's lots of shady practises at youtube. From pushing certain channels, aggressively going after adblockers, removing the dislike button, arbitrary censoring words/posts, banning people without cause etc

It's true, at least until we start manufacturing stuff again.
Things might go up in price to test if we NEED something more than our money.
We need to not buy expensive shit, so the prices go down.
Companies need to find the reason to buy American.
So yes, you don't need 3 dollar avocados, wait it out.
You didn't NEED mcdonalds and that caused them to create a 5 dollar item and they are reevaluating their pricing in general now. No 2.99 for a medium drink.

Trumptard shills out in force trying to shame real Americans into accepting the lower standard of living that Trump is driving us into.

What kind of retard votes for this shit?

hurr durr ahh actually sweaty redditor: your decadence is ruining this country!

totally not our retarded leadership! no! it's y-y-your fault for not sacrificing enough for zaddy drumpf!

retards

You don't NEED US without kikes

You don't NEED US without niggers

You WANT them

yeah no shit sherlock

it would be hit with an integrated VAT of 22%.

Stuff sold in Italy made in Italy has the same tax, it's more similar to a sales tax than a tarrif.

Outside of the tranny shit which thank god they are finally starting to drop like a wet dog turd. I don't really think they are insane or demonic.

wrong.
The magic sequence of events is extremely easy. Make it so companies are incentivized to use American manufacturing. That's it.
They do whatever increases profits while maintaining sales. Tariffs HURT sales, like really bad, so it becomes a thing where buying from American companies would be cheaper than buying from abroad, and that's ALL the incentive a company needs.
Companies seeking profit is why all of our jobs are offshored, manufacturing done overseas, good ingredients replaced with cheap ingredients. All of it is for profit.
This is why every other country uses tariffs btw. Us not having them destroys the US economy. There's no argument around that fact.

B-BUT I WANT CHEAAAAAP SHIT.
Housing is expensive because of cheap shit. If shit weren't so cheap then people would have more money for housing.
You ok with making minimum wage? Cheap shit is why you make minimum wage. Lack of jobs and increases in candidate supply equals lack of pay.
HALVING immigration and tariffing everything in tiers will literally bring about a golden age. Companies will be BIG SAD because they can't exploit immigration for cheap labor anymore. Literally nowhere will pay minimum wage because no one would have to work for it.

trying to just be lazy and copy paste everything

Sorry we're doing a better deal with the world now and INSTEAD OF AND right before what was supposed to be WWIII? Right when we have everybody by their BALLS?

hehaha

you have no idea what's going on kiddo

communist rationing of goods and a self inflicted crashing economy

2 more weeks right shitlib? Shit's looking fine so far

This is why every other country uses tariffs btw. Us not having them destroys the US economy. There's no argument around that fact.

Lots of countries use tariffs as protection, example: agriculture in Switzerland is small, complicated and expensive due to our geography.
So we protect our farmers with tariffs against agricultural imports because we want at least some food produced here.

Heck we import garlic from china because it's not economically viable to produce it here.

About consumerism: no, you don't NEED cheap shit - you want it.

You're 100% spot on. But, yes, you look at someone like Asmonsgold... They guy is absolute moron with the most mundane and milquetoast takes our there, or Critical Drinker another dumbass "critic." I've seen sub-50k channels that are far better, but never get traction.
(((They))) Absolutely decide on what channels hit the big time and control it every step of the way.

Republican capitalists and free market advocates are now defending communist rationing of goods

And it's beautiful.

"I don't really think they are insane or demonic."

Then you simply do not know what you're talking about, and should fuck off. Failing to notice obvious danger makes you lower than a prey animal.

Americans still thinking most Trump voters are "right wing" because trump is a republican and democrats are "left wing" because of they're
not republicans.

The red/blue uniparty really rotted your brains and you can't get out of it.

This sounds like an emotional response with no facts to back it up.

I watched a video this week of this millionaire faggot begging for money because his coffee company is going under

Fuck off, retard
I still remember a time when you had to physically go to the bank, and wait in line for 1h to do anything
You are going back to that if you start pricing computers at 3k

There’s something to it, I don’t see that many US brands in Europe.

No one really even wants any of that crap, they want friends and sex.

you don't get it

It's not just nostalgia about past times. Technology and "cheap shit" is turning us into indentured slaves of a rotten system.
We all know it.
We just disagree on the path out of the trap.

Agreed
Understandable

He ran on lowering prices Kek
If he liberates the US from Jewish control, maybe that would be a decent outcome

He is actually correct. Although we should not actively seek a decline in material conditions, if these are things derived outside our control and give control to someone else - then we should seek to source them ourselves. Like we had for centuries before (manufactured goods).

That said, I'm not buying his Coffee or supporting his other items. Because calling out libtards is solely a conservative action and does very little to actually address or reverse the problem.

All white people doing low income jobs got replaced jeets
If you have no computers, you have to deal with jeets
We have to advance technology to the point where computers and AI are so common I will never have to deal with a minority again

As a wagie I strongly disagree, not all whites have been replaced by jeets.

We should use technology to where it is necessary and useful but reject it where it is only used to enslave, manipulate and suppress us.

But I guess the majority of (you) jeets in canuckistan are really tired of dealing with white canadians of european descent.

nvidia gpus have a +2000% markup. the problem of manufacturing them here isn't that we forgot how to do it or labour is too expensive and we'd have to raise the price, its the taxes would eat into that huge profit margin. theyd make enough money selling it at the same price if they did it all here, you just tariff them so the bigger profit overseas is not an option.

This.

Grug gets by.

I am still using the same phone I've had since 2018. Tech jannies keep trying to cuck me with security update. Ideally I will have it for 10 years.

the glorious leader will decide what you need from now on

you can no longer have what you want

Fuck off, commie.

They now defend consumerism, multinational corporations and mass censorship. Totally not system golems btw.

Deleting the amazon app saves hundreds of dollars a month

in order to have "muh cheap shit" I must be enslaved for a pittance, own nothing and be subdued by brain rot combined with pharmaceuticals.

Fuck off shill

Where do you get replacement batteries? I have the same phone and used ifixit for 2 replacements so far

Cap your charge at 85% and your battery will last decades

implying implications

I said none of those things. Useless fucking bot.

SNEED IT OR KEEPIT?

pretty much, self reliance is a way

That's right goy.

You don't need a new car, you can use your old for 15 years more.
You don't need a new PC, you can play old games for the next 10 years.
You don't need a new phone, just use your old cracked one for the next 5 years.
You don't need new clothes, just go ahead an use donated ones.
You don't need to eat fast food, buy the cheapest most carcinogenic available and be happy that you are still alive.
You don't need a 150k a year job, you should be happy to work at a factory job for the next 30 years.

Let's America great again.

you will own nothing and be happy

You imply orange man decides what people need.

I call out your hollow argument and reply in similar fashion.

get raked crumbly leaf

Tries too hard to "pop off"
There is such a thing as hierarchy of needs. Wants might not fit physical needs but they fit psychological needs. Not being able to have the things they want affects people negatively in a psychological way, especially the more it happens.
Every want, by its nature of being a want, is a need at some level. People are confusing needs with essential needs. Water food and shelter are only essential needs but they are not the only needs.

That's right goy.

You don't need a new car, you can use your old for 15 years more.

No - buy a new one and piss away your wage on the interest since americans don't buy, they loan

You don't need a new PC, you can play old games for the next 10 years.

No - buy the newest shit - overpriced, on loaned money - while you can't make rent

You don't need a new phone, just use your old cracked one for the next 5 years.

No - replace the useless crap from past year with the useless crap from current year.

You don't need new clothes, just go ahead an use donated ones.

No - replace your clothes every few months to keep cheap manufacturing alive

You don't need to eat fast food, buy the cheapest most carcinogenic available and be happy that you are still alive.

You don't need to eat fast food. YOU DON'T NEED TO EAT FAST FOOD.

You don't need a 150k a year job, you should be happy to work at a factory job for the next 30 years.

Your 150k a year job is in China and India now.

You're a faggot.

Trump is on video telling people how many consumer goods they need.
It's the same shit I hear from gun grabbing faggots here. They like to decide what I need too. And they can also fuck right off.

My gas is 2.70, a loaf of Aldi’s bread is 1.35, Milk is 3.50, Pepperidge Milanos is 3.97, meaning you can buy 4.75 on an hour’s wage 15/hr, you can buy 5 lbs of Cheddar on a single hour’s wage, a platter of Aldi’s German sausage links is 2.00, locals pay 15, Sam’s/Publix pays 21.

This seems disingenuous, but you could just be a rabid Democrat. Raughruaghraugh you listen to faux news while I regurgitate msnbc!!!!

“Well you still watch it!!!”
Haven’t watched Fox much since they dropped Tucker. All mainstream news that’s free on box seems to be controlled opposition, not saying much of anything and 80% hyperbole. I listen to Newsmax now.

Are referring to the "how many dolls" statement?
If there's another statement - please source.

But if you are referring to that, are you serious?

Encouraging anti consumerism is way different than the gun grabbing cuckoldry in canadistan....

Are we gonna be like Cuba?

This old cope is unnecessary at this point. Either people hate the tariffs or believe they’re not going to last longer than a month

Dolls, pencils, whatever the fuck. The precise good in question is irrelevant. I decide how many dolls or pencils or guns that I need, comrade, not some government faggot.

giving apple money

buying consoles

Idiots should be fleeced at every and any possible occasion.

Running on 50's era cars that can be fixed with a hammer and a screwdriver wouldn't be that bad.
And there's no obesity problem in Cuba (commie's gonna commie)

Posted by a guy who buys the latest PC hardware, latest phones and buys a bunch of useless anime merch

Well we're talking about the same statement, it seems the interpretations differ a bit.

Dear anon, I wish you the best luck churning as a cog in the wheel of the machine that is designed
to sell you said "cheap shit" of "your own desire".

This machine is destroying your power to purchase, the worth of any labour you perform and the value of any "currency" you earn by performing such labour.

but go on...

Donald Trump is making you poor and you love it

jokes on you I was already poor! you lost tranny

See
Also, per pound, quality and taste, for Havarti cheese on par with Castello with EU seal region of Origin, from Wisconsin is Roth, who not only imports but makes their own. Sam’s had it once. Per pound it’s a bit cheaper too.

Pairs beautifully with club crackers, a wondrous buttery flavor.

They import certain cheeses, I know of Swiss cheeses, but I’m not sure about Havarti

you know why you don't see many US brands in europe?

#1 it's produced in china anyways
#2 if it's produced in the US it is in sub standard quality
#3 your products don't meet european regulatory standards - in mutt this means "your products suck"
#4 for the quality of product you deliver, the price is exorbitant

and I'm not even trying to be mean.

American cars are considered "useless show off cars" in europe. They're gas guzzlers, too big and sub par to anything you can buy at half the price here.

American foods: we mountain jews have zero GMO laws. Food americans eat could not be fed to animals over here.

RGM watch maker makes in-house movements
Louis Vuitton acknowledges our leathersmiths are qualified and make bags in France, Spain, the United States, and Italy.
We have good brands too, you just don’t let us in, and we’ll tank the entire world economy if it means gaining access. Are you a minority or a child?
There’s no way a Swiss man is this illiterate on international craftsman from your economy.

now you're argumenting semantics.

You have "good brands" but what does that mean in a scale that matters to you? (the US)
We protect our essential industries - as you should as well.

Selling a couple of watches, niche products for the top tier clients, won't help the american worker.

Im honest, and this is a fact: most american products sold in Europe are considered high price status symbols with questionable price value relationship.

Could you bust us out of the market - sure - if you could produce at quality and quantity. But you can't.
I'm not busting your balls here, just being honest.
