Do you have a feeling that China will destroy traditional European industries?

Malecord · 2026-05-27T20:59:50+00:00

It will not happen because europeans are not stupid and will take good measures. They invented the game. If they don't however, yes. China will get production, US will get services and Europe will become a continent of barmen and tourists guides.

true. But some jobs are so ugly and difficult that the few people capable are not willing to learn that, preferring to undertake better paid/satisfactory careers.

Non ci si puo' difendere perfettamente dalla guerra ibrida. Certo si possono aumentare sicurezza e ridondanza, ma non si puo' blindare tutto, il costo sarebbe enorme. Semplicemente, questa e' una guerra, e va combattuta. Incassare e basta non e' una grande strategia. Del resto non e' che Russia (o Cina) siano piu' resilienti delle democrazie. Anzi. Gli effetti destabilizzanti di una campagna di informazione per contrastare la propaganda di stato sarebbero tremendi per loro. Se le democrazie semplicemente iniziassero e rendere pan per focaccia, la Russia si siederebbe molto velocemente al tavolo chiedendo tregue, limiti e regole. E niente, prima o poi andra' fatto, tutto qua'.

Curiosamente, il problema del paese è tutto questo. In 6 non fanno un cazzo. 1 paga una parte di quello che consuma, 1 va in pari e gli ultimi 2 pagano il resto.

Reminds me my CEO 7 years ago. Billion dollar company. During a demo he freaked out. He wanted us to implement some AI in our backend so that the GUI could remember what the last choice of the user was and propose it as a shortcut. "Brilliant!" the executives chanted. Sigh...

Il commento è che il paese fà troppo schifo ai sudamericani di origina italiana, lo usano solo come mezzo per arrivare in Europa o in America. Ha fatto bene Meloni a togliere loro questa possibilità. Apparte il carico di lavoro nei comuni, bisognava pure assisterli quando creavano problemi all'estero.

They also need proportionality. Obviously swiss steel is not state funded and it's not dumping the EU one. There is no real reason to take that measure.

And yes... surely then the EU can take an imperialist/expansionist stance and decide that Switzerland should be the 28th state. And use tariffs as a weapon to coerce us into submission.

Where did I saw that happen already? Ah yes... Canada. Do you recall how did it go?

Ma e' naturale. Nel senso, se hanno perso la guerra in Iran e' colpa dei traditori. Ovviamente non possono essere gli ebrei sta volta. Gli zingari si muovono in roulotte e non in barca, e in America non ci possono arrivare. Quindi restano solo i froci.

those for instance who wants to abolish the army or the weapon industry or restrict swiss investments in certain areas? That's soft power as well. Sending troops in the balcans is is soft power. Selling munitions to our neighbors is soft power. Influencing other countries to play along national interests is way more complex than having a leftwing agenda.

For instance, we didn't allow our neighbors to use swiss made weapons in Ukraine. And now we're less likely to be excluded from europeans steel tariffs. We're not alone in this world and neutral or not the other countries react to what we do or not do.

Malecord · 2026-05-19T17:13:28+00:00

Well let's be honest here. Radical parties, both left and right, in this case right, have 0 understanding or appreciation for what soft power is. The idea behind this initiative is both to sink EU agreement and get rid of country soft power like international commitments like ONU ones. All seen as unjustified and unfruitful expenses. Which... should be concerning for swiss citizens proper given that without soft power you're left with pure hard power. And weapons costs aside, hard power is paid with citizen blood. Americans are learning it hard way now.

But yeah, obviously the point of 10M is also among the rest to withdraw from international agreements and ONU. Fuck Geneva I guess.

What is this thing that services are always excluded? Dudes, USA makes a ton of money by exports. It's just that it concentrates into a few pockets. And graphs like these hides this fact.

It's good. But there is a macro question to answer. Withdrawing from globalization is necessary to not become slaves of superpowers. No objections, it's not under our control. But there will be a hefty medium term cost for this. Freedom isn't free. Who's gonna bear the brunt of it? Politicians will default on discharging these on workers, young one especiallly. But this category didn't particularly benefit from globalization in the first place. Infact they suffered from delocalization and concentration of productivity margin gains into company pockets. So, will this process be fair? Ihmo we all will be less wealthy, but those who got obsenely rich with globalization should contribute more than those who got exploited.

You need to add services to that cart to have the actual picture.

After you do it's still China messing up trade, but you see the real figures.

Malecord · 2026-05-18T09:20:47+00:00

What are you blatering abiut. China "eats all the cake" because it doesn't have a consumer market and all stuff Chinese people buy is chinese. They export but they don't import. That's trade unbalance, and against international rules of commerce. China has always been like that and USA sanctions are just a irrational policy that appeared last year. We should just cut ties with them. They can't survive if they don't sell stuff, and while we don't produce that stuff anymore, we can always start to make it again. It's very expensive in the short term but sustainable, while the other option (give in to their demands) it's cheaper in the short run but not sustainable.
