I was confused as to the shitty byzantine phrasing adopted by the site in my absence, so mods aren't doing shit. What I actually DO know is as follows:
Obama is trying to fast-track the TPP before Trump gets into office. And we're the only ones who can stop it. But now is not the time for alarm. There ARE some things you can do to stop it once and for all.
1: Follow the instructions in pic related. Persuade them that locking ourselves into something so potentially dangerous with such haste is perilous, if you must. 2: Spread this info and get more people involved. Just one phone call can change history, so shoot for ten. 3: Bump this thread to the front page.
I'm going to start this thread as many times as it takes to raise awareness and action.
When I didn't see these threads in the archive, I did indeed assume mods were deleting them.
Whoops.

What is TPP
Jaxson Torres
fucking assholes
Cooper Edwards
It astounds me how little this Sup Forums studies politics.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership was a trade agreement discussed behind closed doors in 2015, and is basically a combination of SOPA and NAFTA. Short version is it allows the government to find greater ease outsourcing jobs, and nips the average worker in the ass in so many ways I even forget half.
Hunter Sanchez
Any source for this?

Aside from Sup Forums flipping out about the fast-tracking earlier, I'm sure you can find one with relative ease. I'm not working with all the resources I need to prove this in it's entirety. I just want to raise awareness.
Thank you very much. Always nice to see an informed fellow.
Everyone who doesn't know what TPP is, all in. This shit was happening in 2014/15.

>Dipshit It's already on it's way to becoming active, if Obama passes this fast-track law it becomes unstoppable. They're two separate entities. YOU'RE the dipshit.
Jace Moore
Because this is politically undoable now. It could not be passed a month or so ago, so it is not going to be passed now.
Bentley James
Be forceful, but overly loud and abrasive. Just make it clear they will be yanked out of their position if they go against the wishes of the people, and that they better not sell us out!
Dylan Rodriguez
The ??? Is where they secretly push thru TPP while we are all sad about our cities burning
Josiah Jackson
I'm not entirely sure that's a good idea. Try that only if reasonable negotiation does not work.

THis is bad guys This shit must not pass If this thing gets into action...... enterprises can backtrack everything we do on internet and sue us Imagine getting a job with your Sup Forums shitposting history.. not gonna happen This is fucking bad we need to trend this up FAST

learn to google.
Fast track takes away the Congressional right to amend a trade deal, but requires their full approval before signing it into law.
Fast Trade (or TPA) was signed in February 2016 after Congress passed it in 2015.
Now Obama will put a 5000 page document with a name completely different from TPP in front of Congress, to which the Reps that got bought out will vote yes.
You need to remind lame ducks that we will not accept selling this country down the river as their final act as an elected official.
Ive already called and emailed my soon to be former Dem congressman dozens of times about this.
Cant wait for the black Rep we voted in to get shit done.
Jacob King
You don't have to ARGUE with a politician, silly. They're a representative. Their job is to listen to you, their citizen, and offer consideration. No argument involved, although he might ask you a couple questions. Just check out some of the images and arguments posted in this very thread as resources.
At least they're not forced to.
>Implying I didn't do at least a little research Can you go into greater detail about why you take me for a fool?

Christopher Robinson
Other things you can do is write strongly worded yet polite letters that basically say if you vote for TPP don't expect to get re-elected, with letters and phone calls piling up it will make an difference.
Blake Robinson
The image doesn't say they are forced to though. I'm not saying it wouldn't be worse, I'm just saying the image isn't particularly effective considering the majority of what it says is already applicable in current application and law.
I mean " and generally expire 70 years after the author's death." is current US copyright law. Our computers can also be seized and we can be jailed (first-time offenders can serve up to five years in prison fines up to $250,000)
Julian Baker
* it doesn't say they are forced to remove your internet service It does say they are forced to act as internet cops, which ISP's are already currently legally bound to do by sending you notices on claims.
Andrew Lopez
But they've been doing that since before this even passed, right?
Nicholas Clark

Josiah Walker
>and that the fine is increased. Which makes it even weirder that the image mentions 10k for transferring a dvd under TPP. Why didn't they go full hog and claim the topend of 250k for it?

In all fairness most people who publish and allow access to information do so on some sort of bias point of view. Even local libraries won't give people access to specific information especially over the Internet.
Fictional stories can be hard to come by because they were "banned" or some stupid shit let alone some cook books or some intriguing reading material outside of glaciers and boiled rat asshole.

The TPP forces other countries into your nonsense. There has never been a successful action against anyone for piracy in australia; the TPP would attempt to implement your scheme.
Furthermore it has the usual shit like increased copyright terms to bring them in line with the US, increased patent terms that will increase the cost of medical treatment, and last but not least investor-state arbitration. Which basically means that as with NAFTA if a company can claim that it's profits will be damaged by any laws the country passes. In effect it gives corporations the ability to overrule local laws by appealing to an external tribunal.
Under NAFTA this tribunal has found in favour of the corporations in more than 90% of cases.
The TPP also bans countries from creating any more public services and restricts the growth of existing public services along with attempting to begin sketching out terms for the privatisation of these services. It's designed to sell out everything and anything to corporate interests at discount prices.
