You just love to listen to the loud and obnoxious minority. I like personal freedoms but I've never made death threats and I've never attended an armed protest, as I'm sure most here haven't 
Do you think the far right speaks for everybody that enjoys personal freedom? You're a legit caricature of a sjw.

Citizens like personal freedom. People in power like to take personal freedom. Left/Right doesn't matter.

Because self interested self serving aussies sold off industry assets with the consent of the government. State governments have been doing it in various forms to improve their budgets for the last 30 - 40 years, same as the U.S. I'd imagine.
Aussies? Is that an autocorrect?
But yea, fuck all the greedy cunts who sold their own country out "in the name of progress".
The most effective thing ALL of us can do right now is to buy american made products. If everyone did this it would no doubt have a massive impact.

Right? You think the decision to buy American has moral implications? That's an odd way to look at it. To the extent that any morals come into play at all, I'd argue that holding ones nationality above another's is morally reprehensible. The only way to justify it is to postulate that Americans are somehow more deserving than everyone else.

It's not about nationalism. I'm not a flag waver. It's simple economics. The people of America were fucked over by a greedy few, and it's time to reverse the trend of outsourcing in the name of profit.

The people of America weren't fucked over...What are you talking about? The people of America live better than most of the world.

Outsourcing to countries far better suited to do that kind of work is good for your country. America shouldn't be making everything just because muh nationalism. We design shit now and outsource its production.

The only way to justify producing everything in China is to postulate that CEOs are somehow more deserving of all a companies profits than the working class Americans who lost their jobs.

I'm talking about us being in debt to one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
Give me a break. You are constantly trying to avoid the actual point people make and steer conversations in a different direction. I see the games you play, it doesn't work with me.

If you're not an entry-level employee you're directly benefiting from outsourced production of the kind of thing our country got to successful to worry about producing anymore.

I'm not in debt to another country. Are you? What does the national debt have to do with manufacturing anyway?

Debt is so bad for the average American that they're only able to enjoy eating out and mass produced disposable electronics in air-conditioned homes.

Everyone I know that still makes highschool wages as an adult is a complaint machine. Yet they find money for weed and beer and skip work because they need personal days.

Meh, not so much:
Ten ways Americans have lost their freedom
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.
