Oh? The story just before this one in my feed was how Europe is putting social programs on the chopping block to appease Trump on NATO. So independent...

I am curious about your references. The de-dollatization stuff comes directly from BRICS and Chinese propaganda and I think you have something mixed up with the WTO and SWIFT, specifically when the EU was dropping Russian banks from SWIFT in March. (Everyone seems to be fed up with the WTO at the moment.)

While you have every right to be pro or anti on anything you want, launching a new account direct into specific multi-paragraph narratives is kinda sus.

All of the references you have ascribed to me are wrong.

So, the data you presented that I attributed to you are incorrect? So, you are saying your own information is wrong? I asked for references as you got data from somewhere.

I have stated that I am pro or anti anything.

I am assuming you meant to insert a "not" in that sentence. You missed the point: You can hold any opinion you like, but calling something a "fact" doesn't make it so.

I dunno what to think about the rest.

But yeah, I am calling the account sus. It's an observation and sorry you took it personally. Even more interesting is how you went from a clear, well worded description of your world economic views into some kind of pseudo-philosophical word salad.

Just block the trog. They're not interested in logic, and're clearly banking on drive-by upvotes to legitimize their bullshit in the minds of anyone reading their splurt later.

p.s.

...as you got data from somewhere.

That's very generous of you.
