The following quote from ChrisO_wiki on bsky
“@chriso-wiki.bsky.social Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn’t actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country’s exports to us.” Just about sums it up.
So, approximately 90 days worth of casualties.
Wow and it’s not the Onion.
In Arabic there aren’t such distinctions between 2 f’s and an f. Kafir, Kaffir, Kafer are all transliterations with the same root k-f-r in Arabic.
The Afrikaners borrowed the word, from Kaffir which was used by Arabic and European settlers, merchants and administrators to refer to the black population since they were neither Muslims nor Christians (they were mostly animist or pagans) in Africa to mean all black non-muslims, ultimately borrowed (just as they do every symbol or words) by South African white minority settlers to derogatorily refer to black people.
How they spell it doesn’t really matter. It’s like N-word with an -er or an a, said by the wrong race is still racist however they spell it.
Kafir is also an apartheid Afrikaans (South African Racists) replacement word for the N-word, no jokes. America is a sad country of sadistic sociopathic psychopaths.
…and do it twice, just in case the first “accident” wasn’t enough.
