The purpose of this thread is completely unclear. Aside from provocation, of course. I must admit, the title is perfectly chosen. Americans—your former "brothers"—truly do not want you. Not in any capacity. And they won't be wanting you for a long, long time. Just get lost, along with your junk products and your pathetic whining about being "threatened." It is nauseating to listen to. Look at them now, suddenly wanting to "cooperate" and trade ☕. Or even "invest" in America. Invest what? Dirt? That is all they have. We Americans may indeed be incredibly naive at times, but we have learned that any form of "cooperation" with you comes at a heavy price.
I see no reason why American members should feel the need to justify themselves or explain why we import or buy your goods amidst this hypocritical "let's just make up and trade" nonsense. Why should we owe you an explanation? Clean up your own backyard first. Take a look at what you actually have to offer. It is practically nothing. Corrupt tycoons like Koch (as if we don't have enough of those local sharks already) and media trash like Fox News. Those are your "investors." As if we don't already have enough foreign retail chains flooding us with overpriced Chinese junk and robbing us of whatever little money we have left. We certainly don't need more Mexican parasites coming to bleed us dry.
As if we haven't had enough of ABC, local news stations, and tabloid trash, now we supposedly need turbo-folk and gossip garbage from Fox News? Honestly, we might as well all head to the nearest river or coast and jump in while we still have a shred of brain cells left. It would be faster, painless, and much more dignified.
Let those former "brothers" first pay war reparations for all the damage they caused here, compensate for everything they destroyed and looted, and then maybe they can offer goods and services of actual quality at acceptable prices before we talk. And let's keep it strictly business. You provide high-quality, reasonably priced goods, I pay you fairly, and that's it. We don't need any Mexican "investments." Besides, if they had anything worth investing, they would invest it in their own country.
In fact, the only thing all foreign "investments" in America (and elsewhere) have in common is that they always seem to work against our interests. These small or imaginary "investments" are almost never productive; they don't create jobs. Instead, through cheap imports and banking speculation, they destroy domestic production and literally suck the lifeblood out of the country. Remember how taxpayer money was used to bail out banks that foreign "investors" bought for pennies, only to funnel billions out of America? Remember AT&T and companies like it that paid off their "investments" in two years and now milk us like mindless cattle. What have these foreign retailers, mobile operators, and insurance companies actually brought us? They buy up existing infrastructure for peanuts and then sell us their junk and "services" at much higher prices than they do in their home countries.
And those rare investments in manufacturing capacities have brought us dirty technology that is banned in their own countries—stuff that poisons our water, soil, and air—along with shameless labor exploitation reminiscent of the mid-19th century. And now we are supposed to welcome more of that evil from Mexico? No thank you. Let Koch build his supermarkets in Mexico City; cities like Chicago or Osijek will be just fine without them. Better, even.
You can save your stories about "cooperation" for the lobotomized voters who used their lack of brains to put that squid in power. Only they could believe these perverse fairy tales about our "need" to cooperate with you. Some people, like this scholar:

The global economy doesn't recognize borders, and soon they won't even exist. A handful of corporations will run the world, making the very concept of a border vanish from our minds—which is actually a good thing.
At the end of the day, nationality is just a legal formality on paper. If you don't believe me, just look at history.
This whole "global economy" fantasy and its corporate overlords are already eating themselves alive. It’s only a matter of time before the whole thing collapses and drags billions of people down with it. As for nationality and ethnic identity, that's a much more resilient force than you seem to think. History has shown us that attempts to erase identity through various forms of "integration"—even economic ones—always fail. And that "authority" you're citing to claim nationality is nothing more than paperwork? You can take that opinion and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
Regardless, there's simply no room for any kind of deviant nationalism in the coming years, whether people like it or not.
Deviant nationalism???😲😲😲 If that's how you see it, the only thing being deviant here is your own perception.
The global economy is the one true reality, for better or worse, shaping the flow of time and defining our values.
Sounds like another dogma to me. An absolute truth handed down by God that shouldn't be questioned? Humanity has seen plenty of "absolute truths" like this, and we've moved past every single one of them.
We live in a specific era. Trying to slow things down with outdated methods when this inevitable future is already upon us is pointless and foolish; it only leads to regression.
Oh, I see! So any criticism of this destructive "global economy" and predatory capitalism is considered "regressive"? How wonderful for you, carrying the torch of "progress" and "enlightenment." You're also suggesting it's foolish to resist this supposed "advancement" and "economic boom" provided by the global economy we see everywhere today 😂.
The global economy represents a new way of functioning and perceiving the world. The old ways are obsolete, and that's just the way it is...
We are the global economy. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.😂
