  • It’s a complex subject, right? From a consumer’s perspective, you could have a cheaper car, but your government won’t let you (by putting tariffs on them, or just straightout banning them) because China is not playing fair. As a consumer you are paying a price because of your ideology. I don’t know if everyone will want to do that.

    And on the other hand, from the Chinese government’s perspective, they aren’t going to care if you think they are fair, as long as things are working out for them. If subsidizing means better product and/or markat dominance, why won’t they keep doing that? There are markets that are more ideologically aligned with them willing to take their products.









  • but i didn’t notice anything specifically transphobic about it.

    It might not sound transphobic to the uneducated, but many points she peddled in that video (esp. the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria stuff) and used by transphobic groups to discredit trans people. And the fact she is trying to discreetly legitimize transphobic dog-whistles should be a huge red flag.

    There is a very good video (not related to Sabine) that explains all this stuff:

    Be warned, it’s 5 hours long. (Yes, there is a lot to explain, and there is a lot of bad stuff there.)
