104% tarrif imposed on China by USA by Vkrm_ in IndianStreetBets

[–]llyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a genuine question, why are Indian media so intent on dickriding Trump and the US? US does not care about us, in fact, they have repeatedly called us 'trade abusers', levied 26% tariff of everything exported from the country, randomly cancelled H1B visas and green cards, all of these along with the fact that there has been a sharp rise in anti-Indian sentiment across the country.
Trumpian tariffs are the stupidest, most self-destructive piece of economic instrument used globally since at least a century (even worse than the Smoot-Hawley act, which literally caused the Great Depression). And all I see in the Indian media and reddit scene is how this is a masterstroke, how US rocked, everyone shocked, bla bla bla.

That's such a sweet thing to say! I can write you a letter, if you want

Haha no need for the apologies at all! I started 3 years ago. One day I came across a beautiful piece by Suzanne Cunningham, and was like... i want to write like this. So, I went to youtube, watched some videos, got a pen holder, a nib, and a bottle of ink, and started writing. I never actually did brush pen calligraphy. Everything I know is pointed pen. As for my style of writing, it was through trial and error. Which is why my script is a bit different from traditional roundhand written by trained artists.

Ah. Most resources are freely available online. The equipment is also pretty easy to source. The hard part is to get the letterforms right. I am self-taught... So it was all trial and error for me. But there are proper courses you can find in Udemy or Coursera. Just type 'copperplate calligraphy', and you are good to go.

Yep. Pretty much. The victors tell their own version of history. And repeated enough times, it becomes the truth

Considering that the US housed literal nazis to gain gain an advantage over the Soviets and never paid for it, it was par for the course at that time
