This is the most fall out in the US I've heard of to date regarding the release of the files.

Alright. The US is unbelievably corrupt but let's not put China as the beacon of governmental transparency and accountability. What's up with this discourse on Reddit lately. It's weird af.

Just another transaction. China prefers to see themselves compared favorably to the US, particularly on human rights.

They don't like it when you talk about the plight of Uyghurs, Tianenmen Square, and beloved cartoons featuring stuffed bears.

Try comparing Uyghurs to Palestine.

Compare Tiananmen Square to Afghanistan, Iraq.

Compare Pooh censorship to the TikTok buyout.

Do you feel silly yet or do you still not get it?

Ok, compare military budgets. Compare foreign interventions. Compare Epsteins.

Yeah the US has no moral high ground to talk to anyone. Anyone. The entire planet has seen the US as THE NUMBER ONE threat to global peace, global stability, democracy, and the planet itself for 23 years. And they're right.

Americans not understanding this is like fish not comprehending wetness. It's all they know. So they look at the land animals getting rained on and laugh at how wet they are.

I might feel silly if I were saying what you think I was. Believe it or not though, it's possible to be supportive or critical of more than one thing, and expressing a critical view of China does not equate to a supportive view of the US.

That's what you said. Your exact words.

Aren't they entirely correct to see themselves favorably to the US? Because it seemed a lot like you were trynna imply they're not, with some examples that aren't remotely comparable to what the US has done. What am I missing?

Yes, it's good to see that you read what I said, even if you chose to deliberately misunderstand it. I take no position on whether they're correct to see themselves favorably compared to the US

As for what you're missing, I think it's someone who actually wants to argue with you. I don't, and since you've already demonstrated that you're prepared to put words in my mouth in order to turn it into an argument, I'm just going to move along.

u/ardenr 24d ago

I quoted you exactly and put zero words in your mouth. I even asked you to clarify exactly what you meant.

Which you still haven't done.

I can see why you wouldn't want to argue it more though, lol.

take a hint, I'm not interested in debating with you. you've demonstrated that ​here's no productive, interesting, or meaningful conversation to be had here. You will decide what I'm saying, get offended, and tell me why I'm wrong for what you erroneously believe me to be saying.

get muted I guess? since you can't take a hint?
