Energy prices have been high since the US-Israel war with Iran began and the strait of Hormuz was blocked
US gas prices this month are so far the highest ever recorded for August as peace talks between the US and Iran have stalled and Donald Trump launched fresh threats against Oman.
The national average price of gas was $4.06 per gallon on Monday, according to data from AAA, $0.05 higher than last week and $1 more expensive than a year ago. In California and Hawaii, averages hit about $5.50 a gallon.
Energy prices have been high since the US-Israel war with Iran began at the end of February and the strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway through which a fifth of the oil passes, was blocked.
Y’all uncomfortable enough to overthrow this piece of shit yet?
Lemmy’s call for Americans to revolt is fucking laughable. There’s this dialogue of oh this guy is such a fascist that we should all quit our jobs and revolt. Have you guys seen seen any revolution ever? Nothing happens until there is a crazy crisis like mass starvation/food insecurity combined with organized movement, a strong figurehead, and cracks in existing leadership. People don’t just decide to revolt one day cause they’re dissatisfied.
Sorry for the impatience, I guess it’s too late anyway in terms of biodiversity loss and climate change. Just sucks about the world war your country is trying to start, I guess.
You draw the line at gas prices? Terrorizing innocent people, kidnappings in the middle of the streets, and concentration camps are not moving the needle, but gas price are worth revolting against your government?
I’d like to say this is very American but I’m pretty sure my fellow Canadians would do the same. The priority is low gas prices and the economy. The environment, immigrants, others… those are not our concern.
I would have drawn the line at a billionaire pedophile rapist sex trafficking monster, but I’m not American. My country will be invaded by America in the near future.
Wut? This is like the only good thing he did
I mean he’s actively destroying American hegemony, so he’s accidentally a great man of history, lol.
And unintentionally pushing the world towards renewables. Don’t get it twisted, this is purely accidental due to insane incompetence, not like he’s doing this to help humanity like Leto II in Dune or something.
Hegemony = the power or control that one group, state, or culture has over others
Looks like we just found our next Trumptard guys!
Lmao, try again. I think you’ve misunderstood
I think you are confused, he is creating hegemony not destroying it.
Perhaps you are thinking of the United States waning soft power.
Why are there over 1000 US military bases around the world? How many have been attacked just by Iran? What is the petro-dollar? What is global reserve currency? Why are major countries trading US debt for gold? Why is the US trading Euros for Yen?
I can keep going but I think you have enough here to understand what hegemony is being destroyed by your president.
The only hegemony this “president” is creating is the coming Chinese one.
What does this have to do with Trump creating hegemony? Please try to stay on topic.
I am definitely anti-imperialist. Trump has not destroyed US imperialism and he is not a great man. That is all I am saying.
No, you’ve definitely misunderstood. I’m referring to America as the global hegemonic power. Trump is accidentally destroying the American empire and the power it held as the singular global super power, thus making him one of the great men of history.
Okay, sure I have heard that propaganda before and it is believable but Trump is definitely creating a hegemony. He really hasn’t destroyed anything and has merely accelerated the loss of US soft power.
Trying to pretend he is a great man even sarcastically definitely makes you a Trumptard.
… Do you have a learning disability or are you very young or something? English second language? I’m not trying to be rude but you don’t seem to grasp the meaning of my words at all.
