    Im sure, inadvertently, making it look like an "Independence Day" alien ship over a neighboring country is just a coincidence

    The left: Let's talk up China as a wonderful place compared to the US, even though their standard of living sucks for the vast majority of citizens, worker/human rights are nonexistent, censorship is rampant, and people get "disappeared" for criticizing the government.

    Also the left: Let's take the side of Hamas, even though they are an illiberal organization of religious fanatics who murder gay people and openly declare that women have no rights. Let's also believe all of their propaganda, even though Islamic terror groups have been known for blatantly lying for decades. Let's also call the retaliation against them "a genocide" even though Hamas itself has stated they want genocide against the Jewish people.

    Also the left: Why is the United States so awful, oppressive, and fascist?



    You guys really live in a delusional world when you pretend to care about human rights, yet praise Chinese society and carry water for Hamas.

    Shout out to this 2016 comic released by the Chinese government, warning Chinese girls not to date white US foreigners, as they will get arrested for being an accomplice to espionage.

    Imagine if the US released such a comic telling white US dudes not to date Asian chicks:

    You and Druff might be missing Sonatine’s message.

    Parisian cafe society is more appealing too. France is a shitshow

    i am not on the side of Druff with this one, i am not being sarcastic or fucking around... i am just generally curious with my questions...

    i have watched youtube travel vloggers that will document their time there and or just work there (different than the travel vloggers) with regular jobs and is like their second home cause they work there most of the year and would document it and upload to YT....

    Yeah, I used to follow a guy who worked there, travelled China and dated. Fascinating. He ended up hating life there but great insights. But lifestyle is just a curiousity - it’s not the headline.

    However we have expressly chosen to confront China economically (this ain’t Nixon/Kissinger) and Dalio to name one explains when there is a shift in superpower hierarchy war almost inevitably follows suit. So this interests me a bit.

    He's definitely been to a few all-you-can-eat Chinese lunch buffets.
