As a USonian, I'm kinda delighting in watching Trump basically rip up the entire post WW2 created world. It'll probably make my living conditions all the more worse, but fuck it. As the Romans say, it is what it is.

Yeah on the one hand, I'm like, "Fuck, things are probably going to get very bad here." On the other hand, I'm like, "If his wrecking ends up helping the rest of the world breath, the benefit is exponentially more than the scope of the US itself." I don't want people in the US to needlessly suffer, especially groups that are already marginalized historically. But the global exploitation does need to end, one way or another.
