Tesla dealerships are getting protested and, in some cases, vandalized. Sales are down on 9 of the top 10 countries Tesla sells in. Yet Tesla stock is up. Twitter is a cesspool of nazi-themed bots, and somehow just pulled in $1bn and raised its valuation back up to $44bn.

How is any of this possible? It seems really artificial to me, but I don’t really understand business.

    Yeah, against the thing that lead the Western world to be dependent on China and to lose most of its manufacturing capacity and that lead to the disappearance of the middle class.

    Maybe you’re too young to realize that back in the 80s and 90s some people were wise enough to understand that if the rich people on the right were fighting for it, it wasn’t good for regular folks.

      And I’m wise enough to understand that fighting against globalisation is fighting against gravity, or the heat death of the universe.

      All technological and societal advancement leads to globalisation. The fact we can have this argument right now is a result of globalisation.

      If you don’t want globalisation, you might as we stop all world trade, give up on using the Internet altogether, and live like a vagabond in the hills somewhere.
