    LMAO so this is 100% a Chinese propaganda website. Have you looked at the articles there? Not saying it’s true or not true. But first of all, this article is from 2021 and secondly I don’t buy Chinese propaganda.

      Exactly! Who the fuck is “Friday Everyday”? I tried to look up the web site on Wikipedia, and it doesn’t exist. All I saw was their own self-description here:

      FRIDAYEVERYDAY is the online arm of Friday Culture Ltd, a group of friends from Hong Kong who want to present our beloved city and country through the eyes of people who live here.

      ROFL, wow, okay. Actual Chinese propaganda.

        Translation: “We are extremist fuckwits that nobody in our community likes, but we still think we are awesome because we lack self-reflection. Thus we put our idiocy on the internet because that’s cheap and easy!”

      “Now look what YOU made me do” yelled the man after he slapped his wife.

      This is what the Russians are yelling about Ukraine and what China will yell when attacking Taiwan.

        Why on earth would you assume I consume US media, let alone what kind of US media I allegedly consume? Unlike you I actually was born and grew up in a dictatorship with actual state approved media. Your stupid comment is an insult to the victims of dictatorships everywhere.

          It’s yog- he’s 100% a propagandist across multiple platforms. Whatever he posts you can safely assume is pure propaganda and only tangentially related to reality.

                  Maybe educate yourself on the subject then. A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country. A government like that would ensure that everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did and the way none of western “democracies” seem to be able to.

        I don’t look for you, but you’re never far away.

        This is another example of you being glib and acting like you know a person and their failings with profoundly little evidence.

        If you want to be taken seriously at all, work on being able to draw clear conclusions from a body of evidence and then be able to use rhetoric well.

          You know you could have replied with the exact same reply to the parent comment, yet you chose to reply to this one. Curious.

            I don’t see them being glib on every 10th thread I click through.

            That distinction is entirely yours.

              If people make idiotic comments then they shouldn’t expect generous replies. I don’t ever make any glib comments when somebody makes a respectful reply that’s on topic. Respect is earned.

    YES, WE WANT WAR. But just a small one, please, followed by a quick surrender. The United States is diligently working with Australia and the UK to goad China into what they hope will be a limited war over Taiwan, according to military strategists
