alt Hacker NewsWhen americans are angry, they tend to spread that frustration with a shovel on everyone.
My country as been hot by 29% tariffs.. I can't say what we did to upset americans, given that we do not compete with any american industry in any substantial way, bu we are bearing the wrath of the wounded american blue collar worker regardless.
I wonder what the net effect of tariffs will be in an year, americans are so used to cheap imports, especially all those shien/aliexpress/temu stuff.

Your country didn't do anything. America is being run by a madman, quite simply. This isn't reflective of Americans broadly. The people who voted for Trump wanted cheaper prices, now Trump is making everything more expensive.
The next month is going to be very interesting. The business community is going to put huge pressure on Republican representatives to undo this, and Trump's own supporters will revolt once they see the new prices reflected at Wal-Mart.
I don't know how it's going to play out, but this isn't the end. It's just the beginning.
That's a human trait and not really an American one, though I am definitely not an apologist for American-specific problems
In the culture of the contemporary American right, cruelty is a sign of strength and mercy (or even just empathy) is seen as weakness.
