Yeah, against the thing that lead the Western world to be dependent on China and to lose most of its manufacturing capacity and that lead to the disappearance of the middle class.

Maybe you're too young to realize that back in the 80s and 90s some people were wise enough to understand that if the rich people on the right were fighting for it, it wasn't good for regular folks.

You're not concerned about the people around you that won't be able to afford anything? You're not concerned about the cost for society? You're not concerned about the fact that you're exciting jobs to another country that is now a monopoly that can just increase prices however it feels like because other countries don't have any alternatives? You're not concerned about a country you depend on turning around and becoming your enemy?

If you're not concerned about any of that you don't understand much of the world around you buddy.

Guess you must listen to Joe Rogan

A random person on the Internet, just like her, but my opinion isn't on The Guardian's website.

If you looked at my comment history you'll see that I mentioned that contrary to the person I'm talking about, my opinions aren't shared in mainstream media. She can have all the opinions she wants and share them, I don't give a crap about that, I'm concerned when mainstream media starts giving importance to the opinion of people who have no expertise on a subject.

No, I'm just saying that people might be complaining but millennials in general are way better off than those who came after them. If you look at wealth stats the average makes that plenty clear and I just gave my experience as a counter example to everyone that's complaining. Average background, still made it out comfortably.

Even then, with global trades comes the environmental impact of transporting goods all over the world. It's not normal to expect the whole world to have access to the same things, it's not normal that I can purchase a pineapple in Canada, especially not in the middle of winter. All regions of the world would be very served by focusing on local and adjacent productions. Hell, China understood that, they don't rely on the rest of the world for their shit, they mostly produce what they need and export surplus and are laughing their way to the bank.

They're cheaper as a dumping strategy to make us reliant on China after all local manufacturing is gone, just like China did for everything else.

Globalization lead to all the bullshit we're currently living, good jobs left for Asia, people can't afford housing. Yay globalization! If you want to keep local jobs you can't be in favor of globalization.

Why is the alternative to Tesla on here is always "Chinese EV" when traditional manufacturers exist and make better products? We don't want Chinese dumping their cars and leading to the loss of even more manufacturing jobs in North America and Europe.

Fucking hell, the fight against globalization truly was for nothing, people these days are even defending it against their best interests...

As I said, experiences vary, but looking at statistics millennials are on average very well off and catching up on previous generations.

Except that... She isn't.

The only thing that makes her a public figure right now is the fact that she's the daughter of a man that wasn't part of her life. Remove that and her opinion on his Nazi salute is no more important than yours or mine.

We shouldn't give attention to people whose only "credentials" is being someone's kid (especially if they don't personally know them anyway), it gives importance to something that doesn't say anything about their character or knowledge. She's not inheriting anything from him, she's irrelevant in humanity's history, just like you and me. She was pushed at the front of the scene for reasons she has no control over and that aren't relevant in her everyday life.

Now, show me she actually knows something about Nazis and that she has credentials to make her opinion worthy of being shared in the news and I'll shut up, until then I would much rather see the news relay the opinion of experts instead of the opinion of social media influencers.

Musk was absent from her life, the only reason people talk about her is because she's her daughter even though she doesn't know him any better than you and me.

And again, her opinion on what constitutes a Nazi salute or not is irrelevant, just like a hockey player's opinion on climate change isn't.
