You're viewing part of a thread.
Yeah I get it.
You don't give a shit about our 70 year friendship with Taiwan. To the point you couldn't even acknowledge it in your most recent post to me. That's cool, you're the kind of guy who wants us to give up on our long-term friendships because of "imperialism".
You got your chance, and you took it. You ignored the most important part of my argument yet again, the long-running friendship between our countries. Whoever reads these posts in the future: that's the threat our country faces. Apathy, Nihilism, ignorance of history, betrayal of friends. And these people will offer fake crocodile tears and fake-care about imperialism.
I think I've pushed this discussion far enough to prove my point. Not to you of course, but for everyone else in the future. Thanks for the discussion.
You're trying to appeal to patriotism to support a war abroad, that's like textbook imperialism lmao
But anyway, I was just using the word imperialism because that's how you were justifying the war with China. I don't think it matters which evil global superpower has control over a particular region. The US and China are both imperialist countries, so it's a useless argument to say we should fight China to stop an imperialist power. For what? So we can be the stronger imperialist power? If you want to send your kids off to war for that, idk maybe sign them up for football instead.
Why should I care about "friendship"? Literally why does that matter. We're also "friends" with Israel.
You're just giving up on the discussion because you don't want to have to admit that you are willing to send people to DIE for your cheap computer parts.
If you're someone who truly cares about imperialism, maybe stop advocating for wars abroad with our hugely inflated military, and start advocating for Native American land back.
Yet another post talking about abstract issues and nothing substantial about Taiwan. Got it.
Proudly display that ignorance. Its fitting for you.
I mean, it's okay you can just say you don't understand it
Yarr yarr Imperialism. I'm 15 and this is deep.
Long standing relationships between countries, people, defense, economic ties don't matter. All that matters is imperialism. But not the kind that Chinese would do if they attacked other countries. That imperialism we should just let happen because other imperialism happening elsewhere is a bigger deal.
Its silly to care about other countries. Except when you care about Gaza, that is more important than huge economic, societal, political, and military relationships that have lasted decades across the pacific. Yaaarrrr, Israel bad.
You're making fun of caring about imperialism, but the whole reason you said it was important to go to war with China (aside from the computer chips) was that you said China is imperialist.
caring about imperialism
You don't care about Chinese expansionism (aka Imperialism). So don't give me that bullshit.
Look, you can pretend to care, or you can pretend to not care. When you pretend to do both, its... kind of hilarious and I like making fun of it.
I don't like either one, but why should the US be the world police for imperialism when the US is one of the most successful empires in history? Kind of amazing the amount of cognitive dissonance. You flipped out when I dared say anything about your job, but you've been continually mocking and insulting me the entire time.
You don't care about stopping imperialism, you just want your country to have the stronger empire so you can keep your dumb job.
You flipped out when I dared say anything about your job, but you’ve been continually mocking and insulting me the entire time.
No shit Sherlock. At that moment, this became entertainment to me. You obviously are an asshat.
More hilariously though, is how you haven't been able to add anything to the discussion despite this whole time. Now maybe you're just trolling me too, but I'm cool with accepting the troll baits now. I've given you plenty of opportunity to add a discussion point of some kind of cultural, political, military, economic significance. But apparently the best you got is imperialism and more insults.
You don't know shit about this geographical area. You keep trying to pivot to Gaza in a topic about Chinese memes. I'm just trying to see where else you're going to go.
Yeah, your job isn't that more important than people's lives. Sorry to be the first person to tell you.
Can't take the slightest dig, I see. I guess I touched an insecurity.
I've been saying the same points because you haven't refuted them whatsoever, lol. I don't think you will, because you genuinely want the US to be a strong empire, and we just will never see eye to eye on that being an acceptable goal for a nation.
You're literally the one who brought up imperialism. You're not even consistent, you're just kinda trolling I feel like.
