Movies in the 90’s: oooph oooh ahhh ohhh ugh I gotta go to my well-paying and secure office job in a world without fear of nuclear annihilation and we don’t give a shit about the climate yet uhhh if only I was feeling bad instead, wish I didn’t have such a stable life oh nooo I live in a house that I own

Okay, then learn mandarin

Damn, who could have guessed your arbitrary debatelord requirements would make it so difficult? Learn mandarin ig

That sounds like a you problem, do something about it yourself.

I’m responding to you responding to a person giving you a link explaining that very position.

Throwback to all those English sailors who would “go native” when they realised there was more to life than European mercantilism/capitalism.

Lmao “independent” is when it regurgitates propaganda. The tianamen square massacre never happened
It’s also far from the most significant event in that square according to most chinese, nor is it heavily censored. They learn about it in school ffs.

You should direct this energy at some other users in this thread, not OP.

What nuance do you want for an event that didn’t occur? Yeah let’s have a nuanced discussion about Saddam’s WMD now we’re at it.
Also you can have a discussion about it in china and just with chinese people in general. Just not with a chatbot or as some inflammatory forum post. Which, frankly, is ideal, considering what doing fuck-all about disinformation has brought us in the west.

Yeah I should hope what I’m doing is obvious, I’m being honest and upfront about it. You should try it some time.
Hey please point out the propaganda I’ve been hit by. Educate me please, I love to be wrong. Cite your sources.

I’d love to talk to more old people who overwhelmingly say life was better under the USSR. I’d love to talk to more people who voted to keep the USSR and got couped into a hellish decade of shock doctrine.

Yeah the ebil gommulist came and killed your food I read it in the NED funded Atlantic article. Christ you, of all people, should possess some level of ability to realize you’ve been lied to. “Oh things weren’t great back then, so that means it’s actually good we have child prostitution a cratering vaccination rate and so much more”. Or are we going to the route of how things got super good because of EU membership? Ah yeah that shit is going great. But yeah the USSR wasn’t perfect, so let’s just gargle all the propaganda we can get and whenever we hear anything positive then it’s either just regular old person nostalgia or an uninformed westerner or whichever other excuse you can pull out of your ass so you can continue brain-deadedly glorifiyng western Europe. Nevermind the fact France still dictates the financial policy of several African countries, which is just the tip of a very very very large iceberg.

Sorry I just get annoyed when people talk out of their ass and think “I come from an eastblock country” means anything, as if we aren’t amongst those who have been stepped on by the American boot most of all.
Shame on you.

So why do you do what you’re trying to do? For what purpose?

This “being obtuse and belligerent” thing that all you dumbasses do is honestly sad. What’s sadder is that it’s not only encouraged and rewarded in your echo chambers.
The western forum is a sad state of affairs really. Just chock full of the most obvious and base level rhetorical parlor tricks. Wish you worms at least had to do basic work, but you do a debate club when you’re 8 and you never move on. To quote the president: SAD

Alright, then let’s see the citations

Does this “being obtuse so as to not have to engage with an argument” shtick normally work?

So which part of this do you think is the part that addresses the clear and salient arguments you’re arguing against?

Now you’re just being obtuse. It’s really sad you think what you’re doing isn’t obvious. For the onlookers: This is what happens when you don’t get mental and social stimulus.

1. And are you Chinese?

2. I’m happy you’ve got a Chinese friend that tells you it’s okay to be racist.

3. The fact that you’re unwilling to acknowledge the fact that this redditor shibboleth got popular amongst a bunch of white people has nothing to do with them finding yet another socially acceptable way to be racist is telling a lot we already knew about you.

4. If a reactionary org of black people (I dunno of one but I’m sure there’s some church or something) had satirically depicted Obama as curious George, do you think you could get away with calling him a monkey without being (rightfully) called a racist?
