For decades, the Global South has given America tribute in the form of trade and hostages in the form of our children to educate. We have sent them millions of indentured servants in the form of legal migrants and slaves called 'illegals' now. As always, colored people have done the grunt work of colonization, and staffed the imperial bureaucracy. We should have shown some dignity, but whenever we did, it was couped and cuffed out of us mercilessly.

However, April 2nd was an actual ‘Liberation Day.’ On that unconsciously aptly named day, a great global strike was initiated by White Empire itself, against itself. What one must ask is liberation from what? It is liberation from their wallets for Americans, and liberation from them for the Dirty South.

On Liberation Day, the Orange King declared global tariffs based not on our tariffs, but on trade deficits alone. But imperial trade deficits are just a measure of how much tribute the whipped send them in exchange for worthless scrip. We use this scrip to to buy oil from other whipped people, we're all tributaries being sold up the river. The Orange King is stopping this tributary system entirely. Large trade deficits with America are largely a measure of how colonized we are, and Trump is unconsciously decolonizing us.

At the same time, he is taking the imperial hostage system hostage apart. Our people are supposed to disappear and self-deport from our communities, not vice versa. We send them our most idealistic young people, and now they're being returned, tortured, abused and stamped RETURN-TO-SENDER. This has long been happened to 'unskilled' (re: slave) labor, but now it's happening to the educated indentured. The hostage system gave America great power over the Global South, but now they're losing it by flexing.

For ‘educated’ people whom genocide was not enough of a line in the sand, a clear line is being drawn in this educide. We are all ‘sand-niggers’ to them, and the sooner we wise up the better. We are all being called to economic jihad, by Abu Donald of all people. Not out of self-dignity but sheer self-preservation. We are all Hamas now, or dumbasses.

For Gaza, Forever

Right now, it is hard to write this or anything as Gaza writhes in pain. Honestly I give a fuck about 44% tariffs as Gaza is being 100% destroyed. Dr. Munir Al-Boursh said, “Gaza is now taking its last breaths,” and I feel the clawing of my own soul against my hollow ribcage.

‘Israel’ is now at the 9th stage of genocide, complete extermination. At this stage, only Yemen is answering the call, which is for armed resistance. As the Ten Stages say, “During active genocide, only rapid and overwhelming armed intervention can stop genocide.” Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran have also done their duty, but the effect and threat of genocidal violence against them have taken their toll. They fight alone, while Arab countries take iftar with the 'Israelis' bombing suhoor.

White Empire ('Israel', America, UK, same thing) is openly bombing ambulances and refugee camps and the imperial media doesn't even bother lying anymore. They have already moved onto the 10th and final stage, complete denial. As Abubaker Abed, who should be covering football, said, “Unless people go on a global strike, shut down the streets, and attack their governments, nothing will change.”

Inside the imperial core, even being associated with the Resistance is deemed ‘terrorism.’ People are being disappeared for false accusations of supporting Hamas, while true supporters like me have FBI files and cannot travel there at all. 'Israel' is openly in the throes of genocidal madness, but America and Europe are closeted there also. As I said, the tenth stage of genocide is active across the western world, denial. As Dr. Greg Stanton's notes note, “Perpetrators block investigations of the crimes, and continue to govern until driven from power by force, when they flee into exile.”

We seem much closer to judgement by God than judgement by man, and They will surely find all but a few of us lacking (including myself, unfortunately). Earthly judgment seems far away, but actual fighters like Hamas predicted an end of 'Israel' by 2027 and I back them from condemned comfort. 'Israel' was defeated on October 7th and is not completely dependent on American death support. But now America's government has fallen and been replaced with a resounding vote for the fall. Thus the great salesman Donald Trump is entrusted with the private equity bust-out of the Great Satan. Abu Donald, in his ass-backwards idiotic way, has issued the call to economic jihad against America.

Global Strike

Donald Trump's tariffs amount to a forced global strike against America. My country, Sri Lanka, has been willingly sending Americans underwear and hosting 'Israelis' for post-genocidal R&R. We have been among the most loyal vassals and have got nothing but obliterated for our troubles. Abu Donald has forced a strike upon us, hitting us with 44% tariffs. Even if we wanted to how do we import to America now? Our garments and tea will either drive massive inflation there, or simply not be shipped at all.

The funny thing is that Russia is not being tariffed and China (preparing for this day over decades) can retaliate securely. Loyal (and poor) countries in the Global South bear the brunt of Trump's ChatGPT tariff policy, which has just taken top-level internet domains, imposing a minimum of 10% tariffs on largely unoccupied islands and tariffs of roughly half the trade deficit of other countries. Under the trade system they built, however, we were supposed to give them cheap goods and labor, in exchange for tokens (USD) they pulled out they ass. It's like a system of magic beans run by American bean-counters. They get real goods and labor, we get funny money. Neo-colonized countries are supposed to run a trade deficit and hold and use USD amongst ourselves, like coolies on a company farm. This is what makes the US dollar a reserve currency.

This is just the modern version of a tribute economy. We send our goods to America as tribute and get fungimentally worthless notes of recommendation from the Emperor. The whipped trade this scrip amongst themselves and call it free trade. As Roman Empire scholar Bobby Bacala said, to the victor, the spoils. Now Abu Donald is saying, forget the tribute, send us USD, which is the one thing none of us can make! The new policy is fuck off and die, and the Dirty South is forced to fuck off, in lieu of the latter. Our self-dignity was tested and bested, but now they're testing the very idea of self-preservation. Even if we wanted to negotiate, there is no ‘one’ to negotiate with. As Qian Jing said, “there have been about five different [private] channels in the past 10 days engaging with Chinese officials, and all seem to be somehow carrying different messages.” Sri Lanka is last in line for negotiations, they give a flying fuck about us. America is not even giving us a chance to comply with their insane demands, they're just kicking us out. To paraphrase Gramsci, the old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born. Now is the time of morons.

Hostage Deal

Trump is also striking the heart of the hostage economy that made us such loyal vassals. We literally paid to have our children re-educated by the colonizers (raises hand in my unpronounceable name, to people that don't understand basic phonetics). Like Game Of Thrones reimaginations of England, America was a hostage economy. As one exchange in Game Of Thrones went,

Rodrik Cassel: "Lord Stark raised you among his own sons!"
Theon Greyjoy: "Among them, but not one of them! I was his hostage! Taken from my home!"

This is the situation of millions of colored and colonized children raised in the (fake silicon) bosom of White Empire. Unlike the Romans, American Empire didn't need to march slaves to the metropole, they just ruin distant nations and the slaves march themselves over. We have sent millions of people to beg and pay or the right to labor within White Empire, providing some of the most reliable colonial administrators. Illegal immigrant form the completely exploitable slave class of modern empire, but legal immigrants are not much better, as they're now finding out. We collectively sent millions of hostages to colonize for the colonizers, and now they're stuck.

Now the hostage deal is falling apart. America is revoking student visas and disappearing people on Green Cards and doing it quite prominently. Imperial bitches like Germany and the UK are following suit. The cruelty is the point, they want the world to know. School is out. Migrant disappearances, torture, and abuse have always been happening (this is America), but now it's happening to educated people who thought they were a class above. Now they're discovering that they were second class all along, and that class is out. Again, these are people that would happily diversify the disaster that is White Empire, but now they are being told quite pointedly to fuck off too. Unfortunately, there will always be a long line of Indians lining up for humiliation at places like Columbia, but a line has been drawn that cannot be undrawn.

Inter-Imperial Conflict

Just like with World War I and II, a chance for liberation is emerging out of imperial contradictions (which unfortunately keeps reincarnating, like Star Wars movies nobody asked for). We are already in World War III (if you piss off Hitler by counting Slavs and colored people) and the partisan Resistance against the genocidal colonizers has already started. The Red Army (of China) is unfortunately (for my bleeding heart) just sitting there, but as Napoleon said, when your enemy is defeating themselves, why interrupt? America is blowing all its tinder against refugee camps and hospitals in Palestine and exhausting its European allies in self-defeating action against Russia.

America is trying to pivot to China with one foot stuck in the sand and the other in the swamp. They're running out of ammo and their soft power is all gone. It's still going to take millions of lives to finish the evil empire off (if they don't go nuclear), but they've already blown their own head off. American leadership has been braindead for years. Trump just finished the job.

America was ruled by Ronald Reagan for an entire generation, real Reagan followed by nerd Reagan, cool Reagan, dumb Reagan, and black Reagan. These Reagans deindustrialized America, Biden began demilitarizing it, and Trump is defenestrating it from the fake-ass global economy it built, and the moral reputation it falsely built up. They say when one door closes another one opens, but America has closed all the doors and is sitting alone in the garage with the engine on. There's no reindustrialization this way, just auto-erotic asphyxiation, though not soon enough.

Thank God for the Resistance who defeated 'Israel' and toppled the fake American government of Joe Biden. Now the real fuck-ups of Trump are in charge, and they are accelerating America's demise tenfold. The great salesman has inherited the Great Satan, and is poisoning it with economic snake-oil. The worst person you know is right, because no one should be trading with the White Empire. On the ineptly but aptly named Liberation Day, Trump has declared a global embargo against America, something brave Palestinians have been calling for for years. So shout-out to Abu Donald, calling even the most cowardly nations to economic jihad.
