I wonder if it's still possible to reach people who hold such paradoxical views on a large scale. Right now, it seems unlikely, especially with the demonization of media literacy, which has only made things worse. The media itself doesn't seem like the answer, given its profit-driven motives and capture by billionaire interests. Schools face their own challenges too, especially with the growing "parental rights" movement acting as a major barrier. All of these factors make it seem impossible to address this issue on a broad scale, at least in the short term.

The whole tariff conversation is completely fukked and full of misinformation on both sides. On one side you have a bunch of know-nothing Liberals taught by the neoliberal mainstream media seeking to protect their financialized global economy profits that tariffs are an evil policy tool with absolutely no justification ever. On the other hand you have MAGA morons parroting Trump's retarded "tariff solve all problem" approach in support of triple digit tariffs with no understanding of any short-term pain or the long-term strategy behind them. Biden's decision to keep and hike some of Trump I's targeted tariffs against China was proof that they were a competent outfit with an actual broad economic vision.
