They require the same "economic" power to uplift out of poverty,

its not as if 2 of those 3 were tiny, but strategically placed ports vs china, with a literal continent's worth of people

    The Neolib sub is filled with “I am very smart” dorks thinking they are enlightened for supporting free trade because it allows them to pretend they give a shit about lifting the global poor out of poverty, even though it’s purely because exploiting cheap (or in many cases forced) labor makes goods cheaper over here in the US. If they were just honest about it it would be less cringe, instead it’s juniors at GW named Brad saying “why do you hate the global poor?” while fantasizing about working for the State Dept and writing the perfect essay post about how $13.25/hr is actually the optimal national minimum wage instead of $15. Also that sub is astroturfed to all hell, Neera probably workshopped some of her tweets on there. DORKS!! I will give them that it’s one of the least bad subs on r*ddit re: trans rights though.
