President Trump is ramping up tariffs again, this time slapping a massive 25 percent duty on Indian goods. The official reason? India’s business with Russia, especially buying Russian equipment and energy—something the US wants to stop to put pressure on Moscow over the Ukraine war. This move will hit India’s export industries hard, especially those that keep millions of people employed, like clothing and jewelry making. There’s talk of even harsher “punishments” down the road, and it’s thrown all hope for a US-India trade deal straight out the window, with both sides refusing to budge—especially around American farm goods.
Where does this leave the actual, everyday person? Honestly, it’s such nonsense that governments keep finding ways to interfere in personal choice and freedom—not just with trade, but everywhere, especially when it comes to driving cars. These kinds of policies, these tariffs and the endless red tape, are just another form of control. They tell us what to buy, what not to buy, what we’re allowed to do, all in the name of some greater good. That’s the logic behind every speed limit, every “safety” regulation, every pesky bike lane that chews into our valuable roads: they say it’s for the people, but really, it’s about stripping away our ability to choose our own destinies behind the wheel.
This is exactly the kind of bureaucratic, top-down, freedom-crushing mindset that leads to speed limits in the first place—a crime against humanity, I say, and not just for drivers, but for human dignity. Every new tariff, every restriction placed on what you can buy or sell or drive, is one more inch handed over to the people who’d rather see us packed like sardines in public transport, cowering in bike helmets, pushed off the open road.
How much longer do we have to endure this? I want a world where you can drive what you want, as fast as you want, and go wherever you want, burning rubber and feeling free. That is real liberty—not quietly shuffling onto a bus or pedaling along in the rain because some faceless politician decided cars are bad, or because tariffs make car parts or fuel even more expensive. Tariffs, speed limits, “green policies”—it’s all the same attack on freedom, just wearing a different mask.
Enough is enough. Let people drive! Let them roar down the highways, no limits, no restrictions, no bureaucratic nonsense. That’s a world worth living in—a world without facist oppression disguised as “policy.”
