It’s so funny to see people respond to Kristi Noem’s “Fuck you, you fucking <racial explicate>s” TV ads and think to themselves “It would be just as terrible if the Chinese started running ads where they were friendly and nice.”
The American idea of fairness is bananas. Literally getting mad because the Chinese are being too polite to brown people.
That would actually be terrible, yes. I remind you that the Chinese supported the Trump campaign during the election.
Chinese end goals are one people walking along a path of corpses. Any goodwill they show is purely transactional. There is no future of peace or prosperity so long as they can reach you.
I assume you’ve never met a Chinese person and have terrible knowledge of American history with Mexico and ethnic Mexican Americans just even in the last 100 years. We know what racism you’re supporting
You mean the racism that the Chinese Dictatorship helped put in the white house? Alright, pal, see how well that works out for Mexico. Why just look at China’s many other friends: Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, North Korea, Indonesia…
Besides north korea, go visit. Have you ever been to Mexico? Have you ever heard of the deportations of Mexican Americans during the great depression or Los Halcones? Have you ever heard of the Vietnam war, the bombings in Indonesia by the US, the bombings of Laos and Cambodia? You never hear of Afghanistan or Iraq? You never learned about native Americans, dozens if not hundreds of genocides? Never learned about US occupation of the Phillipiines? You never learned about the mass killings in South Korea by the US backed regime post-WWII pre Korean war? Never learned of the US backed military dictatorships of South Korea and Taiwan? Taiwan and the once longest period of martial law in world history US backed. How about the assassination attempt of the secular supporting prime minister of Iran to back the Shah? How about the US backed genocidal regime in Nicaragua? How about post Vietnam war support for the Khmer Rouge? How about the support of Palestinian genocide?
You’re ignorant ass would probably spit on a Taiwanese or Hong Konger or Tibetan just as fast as a mainland Chinese because your whole basis of beliefs are rooted in ignorance.
The Evil Foreigners Strike Again!
How many genocides does the US have to be involved in before this reads like a punchline?
So you’re saying China can commit as many genocides as it likes, it can cage and mutilate minorities at home and veto UN ceasefires abroad, because somewhere else another evil person also exists?
How about you try opposing both like I did at the start of this thread?
Your whataboutism is not any better then his…
Saying the rules and consequences should apply equally to everyone is the opposite of whataboutism.
Are you really trying to argue with a tanky?
Always argue with Tankies. Always insult Tankies. Always waste Tankies time.
Yes, but you are literally dropping yourself to their position to swing fists at what is ostensibly an iron mountain. There are far more effective methods. You’re not going to convince them you’re not going to convince anybody that’s reading it and you’re actually hurting your own cause because you come off like a paranoid schizo instead of level-headed. The Chinese guy is rage baiting you and you’re falling for it.
I would strongly advise you to reconsider how you were approach. Tankies. Head on assaults are not the best.
I will bring down the mountains, then. Fuck Tankies.
It’s generally a better idea to disable the tracks of a tank than to try to win a shoving contest
