It's fascinating that wine is what led to this, as the famous "wine for textiles" story from The Wealth of Nations is, as Friedrich List recognized, really a warning tale of the risks of free trade and how it can destroy domestic industry
The wine-for-textiles trade that Smith championed was, in reality, a state of trade effected via the Methuen Treaty. It allowed the British to disembowel Portugal’s domestic woolens industry and textile manufacturers in exchange for placing only a limited tariff on Portuguese wine.
Far from being a major success for both parties, the treaty, as List notes in The National System of Political Economy, proved in the long run quite harmful to Portugal. It both retarded its economic growth and industrial development and made it reliant on England for basic materials. Sure, it sold some wine, but that came at the cost of its development as a nation and ability to industrialize, which was catastrophic for it over the long term
So, far from Smith’s classic example—the basis of most modern arguments about comparative advantage—showing how free trade is beneficial, it shows how mendacious treaties allowing free trade can, in the end, prove as harmful as they are “efficient.” Thus, the lesson is not that “comparative advantage” is a good basis of trade that enriches all involved, but rather that longer-term consequences than just the present price of a given good ought to be considered, as a bad trade deal can lead to Portugal-style destruction and humiliation.

Here's what the 2026 midterms would look like if the Democrats WON WHITE VOTERS according to my forecast

People romanticize college because for four years of their lives they:
1. Had all the rights of adults but none of the responsibilities.
2. Lived in a closed community with sealed borders that kept out low IQs and anti-socials.
3. Were young, energetic, healthy, and attractive.
4. Were thrown together with a bunch of similar people who had no predefined power- or need-based relationship with them, which is how friendships form.
This last is the important one, especially as fertility rates decline.
People with children transition to making friends with other parents of children in the same age group, because events and networks centered around those children throw them together with other parents in the same way.
But childless people have few or no opportunities to make friends after college. So they are left with a slow dwindling circle of college based relationships, remembering the days when it was all easy, and they weren't so isolated, and they didn't have to work so hard.
Couple that with having to complete with infinity immigrants in the job market, so they can pay taxes to support infinity boomers and government bureaucrats, while being passed over for the best jobs and careers in favor of infinity DEI incompetents, who they also have to support...
Well, for a lot of people born into what was once the American middle class, college was their first and last experience of an adult life wherein they weren't being systematically and deliberately routed into the formation of a new underclass.
A special form of underclass who are still expected to be productive enough to materially support all the non-producing people who were positioned as their social superiors despite being their intellectual inferiors.
So, yeah, they wish they could go back to college.
Is anyone surprised by this?

“Folks romanticize college because they lived in dense, walkable-” They romanticize college because it was the last time they could be full-time irresponsible adults. Drink, smoke, fuck, eat gas station sushi at 4am, and pull all-nighters because your biggest consequence was a 9 am lecture you’d skip anyway. And everyone around you was as degenerate as you are. Nobody with kids wants to live in that zoo. WaLkAbLe NeiGhBoRhOoD

A White male says he has submitted over 300 job application, he can’t get a single call back
So he tried an experiment, he updated his resume to have a common Indian last name ‘Singh’
He says he’s already gotten 3 callbacks
This is discrimination based on race and it’s happening everywhere to White people

@emmanuelfelton Actually you stupid nog - a black Republican is most likely to run for the new seat
English
Memphis is the second Blackest big city in the country, and it’s about to be gerrymandered within an inch of its life so a white Republican can represent it in Congress. This was exactly the thing Congress was trying to address with the Voting Rights Act. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/01/gov…

Having a tattoo for years that you don't like is extremely common. Especially if it is typically hidden. I have a cross tattoo on my forearm I got when I was 15 and 16 years later I still have it and wish I never got it.

Oops! Democrat Graham Platner… Got Nazi tattoo: 2007 Caught with Nazi tattoo: 10/21/25. Covered up with Celtic tattoo: 10/22/25 It wasn’t “just a rough time”. It was 18 years. 18 years walking around with a Nazi tattoo claiming to be anti-fascist. All they do is lie.

An MP in New Zealand dismissing concerns about the replacement and genocide of White people in New Zealand as ‘European social media angst’
Vermin
Joseph Mooney MP@JosephMooneyMP
Pretty odd antics on New Zealand X this week about a free trade deal with India, a country that is on track to be one of the worlds largest economies, is a democracy in a world where those are very rare and authoritarianism is growing rapidly, and provides a massive new market for our trading nation in an era of the greatest geopolitical uncertainty in the last 80 years. Rather than celebrating that; some have been trying to replicate some of the “great replacement” social media angst sweeping Europe - in some cases for what appear to be cynical political reasons, for others out of misunderstanding driven by what they’ve seen from those trying to scare them at a time when they already feel uncertain about the world. The reality is that New Zealand’s sovereignty over permanent immigration, residency pathways, and citizenship remains fully intact. The agreement is limited to temporary mobility, and does not create or lock in any permanent outcomes.

Untrue. Indians desperately seek noise, poop-smell, chaos, etc. If they don't have these they feel lonely and get an existential crisis. They recreate these in the West in the ghettos they move to. They move to the West ONLY for money.

@DrOBrienMD No - it was enforced by the court because they had to produce a “minority” majority district you stupid mick bastard

The SCGOP drew the current map (every single GOP member voted FOR it) to protect GOP control of SC01 + SC02.
Packing Black SC into SC06 was THEIR racial gerrymander, not the courts.
Now redrawing the map to all majority-white seats IS ALSO racial gerrymandering… no integrity.

This is going to be a desperate business. Instead of both sides laying down their arms, there will be a brutal war of attrition every single cycle. Glad that Democrats are doing this, even if it'll be a Verdun. Republicans left us with no choice.

@JamesSurowiecki In December 2015, President Barack Obama's job approval rating fluctuated around 43% to 46%, driven by concerns over terrorism following the Paris and San Bernardino attacks. Moron.

Obama wasn't able to run in 2016. If he had, he would have won in a walk. His approval rating when he left office was 59%.
Possum Reviews@ReviewsPossum
If Obama was as good of a president as you all pretend he was, Trump wouldn't have won in 2016.

Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist.
John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist.
Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist.
Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist.
If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

@conorsen The GOP just needs to move all these retarded elections to Election Day of an election year - easy answer

I’m curious to see what Georgia Republicans (who still run the state) do if Democrats once again benefit from a low turnout election with these Supreme Court races, similar to last year’s PSC races. Republicans aren’t built for low turnout elections anymore.

Day 5 of EV in Georgia D+8.1 by ballot choice D+8.8 cumulatively In 2022, day 5 was R+20.9 by ballot choice R+16.8 cumulatively Biggest same-day shift we’ve had so far Turnout also had the biggest increase (43%) over the equivalent 2022 day. 45k total EV vs 31.4k in 2022

People forget this but Democrats started the mid-decade redistricting war, not Trump. They tried to grab up to 6 Republican seats in NY with the Hochulmander to retake the House in 2024, which would’ve worked had it been successful (GOP has 220, a two seat majority). Cancels out everyone elected with Zeldin’s coattails in 2022 and 3 more. Democrats have no right to complain. They lost the war they started. Karma.
