I know it’s funny to insinuate that brain damage caused people to become conservatives, but I think we should accept that the culture around aggressive, full-contact sports tends to be conservative to start with. Surround yourself with that culture day-in, day-out, and before long you find yourself ingrained in more than just their favorite sports.

But I mean, that doesn’t mean it’s not the brain damage. A thing can be more than one thing.

Feverishly replacing your one-liners with long-winded lies, you mean? It was nice to see how under your skin I am, but honestly man, let the hatred go. Maybe it’ll be easier to engage with reality.

Watching you frustratedly update this in real time is very amusing.

Yikes, you are crashing out really hard right now. This must be very frustrating for you.

The only thing I’ve said in your entire mind break is that Xi Jiping is a dictator. Which, by defintion through control of every facet of the government and media of China, he is.

Sorry you seem to think white people are superior for some reason. No race is, but it must be hard to see the world through that lens all the time.

Yeah, that’s what I figured. So boringly ungenuine that you can’t even admit you made a mistake, and linked to some argument I wasn’t a part of. At least I know I was right to say you don’t deserve an honest argument.

Ah well, until the next time I see your fascist ass posting lies, I guess.

There’s really nothing racist about picking on a dictator, but it’s nice to know you genuinely don’t know what oppression looks like. I hope one day the whole world can be as ignorant of the concept as you are. It’d certainly be a much better place to live.

And he still doesn’t know what the word racist means…

Let me guess, hypocritical projection? I assume all your “facts” are written by deepseek, then. It would explain the way you skirt actual points while cherry picking Chinese state propaganda.

Speaking of skirting points, you’re just going to try and misdirect from the fact that I’m not even in the thread you claimed I ran from? Lie better, Yog. It’s going to get harder and harder for your .ml buddies to pump you up if you keep embarrassing yourself like this.

He tells me to go back to reddit, and then devolves to using Reddit argument soyjacks. I’d ask you if you have any shame, but we both know you don’t. Hypocrisy is all that’s in your toolkit.

You know what, that’s fair, you got me on this one. I did not even look and dismissed the things you posted as obviously biased because I don’t trust you. Though, let’s be honest: why wouldn’t I? Let’s go take a glance at the time you linked me a pile of “sources” regarding China’s state as a dictstorship. I’d go grab you a link, but honestly, you’re not worth THAT much time.

Oh look, a pile of opinion articles where citizens of China were asked if they think China is democratic, and of course, thanks to the stranglehold over the spread of information in China, the people permitted to answer largely said yes. Meanwhile, the American people rightly pointed out their democracy has been falling into a dictatorship. The benefits of having enough freedom to speak up, even in a nation that is working hard to become as authoritarian as China, are suddenly apparent.

The only “data” I’ve ever seen you direct anyone to is cherry-picked, misrepresented, or otherwise untrustworthy. You’re right, I shouldn’t have attacked your sources without seeing what your sources actually are, as that gives you an opportunity to put egg on my face. I still haven’t wasted my time checking what version of lying you’ve engaged with in your link in this thread. But that’s exactly the point: it’s coming from you, so doing so is a waste of time.

I’ll take your point. There are better reasons to remind you, and anyone else in this thread, that every time you post “facts,” we’re all better off ignoring you and moving along than your sources being sometimes dubious. Sometimes it’s cherrypicking. Other times its the misrepresentation of data. This is why we have the word “lie.” It’s a nice catch-all for tankie trash.

EDIT - Wait, no, I lied, I decided to actually follow your link. I got curious.

What the fuck are you even talking about? I’m not in that thread. You weren’t talking to me. How can I "slither away’ from your argument if I’m not even in there? Are you delusional, or just making even more shit up that I thought?

Is literally just rewording whatever I said to you back at me all you have? Actually? As they say, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery…

Honestly, building strawmen and replying with an overly eloquent “no u” seems to be your entire repritoire, outside of posting Chinese state propaganda. Perhaps I’m not the one who should be rethinking their material.

No, but I do remember not wasting my time reading a pile of drivel from dubious sources.

No book this time? C’mon, make a fool of yourself a little more. I love watching your little delusional dance.

yawn

He even lies to himself.

Oh, Yog. Punching strawmen and proclaiming himself the heavyweight champion of the world. I never made any of the claims you seem to think I have made. I never even defended Canada’s treatment of indigenous peoples. Once again, you make shit up and then claim some kind of moral victory.

I can’t take the L when you don’t deliver one. The irony of declaring I should “run back to reddit,” while you’re using the tactics perfected in that space would be cute, if it wasn’t so dangerous. It’s like seeing an infant play with a gun, really.

You did get one thing right though: I am just trolling you, because that’s all you fascist tankies deserve. The only place China’s crimes have been “debunked,” are in your echo chambers; the rest of the world knows better. Now, in a little tit-for-tat, how about you crawl back to your precious .ml, where you can continue to ban dissenting opinions? It makes it so much easier to lie.

Oh, I’m just fucking with Yog. He’s a tankie shill whose only purpose here is to sow discontent with Western nations while talking up his favorite authoritarian states.

Genuinely, I don’t see people speak of apartheid with reference to anywhere other than South Africa, and literally any searching of the word directs you back to South Africa, but I’m not so obtuse that I didn’t understand his meaning. I just like to drag him for using pseudo-intellectual language in some attempt to elevate his incredibly misguided arguments.

Because, let’s be straight, Canada has had a racist history and is still not doing great for its first nations peoples, but to call it a current apartheid state is to dismiss just how badly South African native people’s were abused. And if Yog is going to try and dredge up a pointless, dishonest argument like that, I’m going to get him rambling aimlessly.

I love that you wrote a book just to justify your willingness to completely ignore cultural context. The word is literally only ever invoked by the entire English speaking world to refer to, specifically, the system of segregation created in and for South Africa. It is literally the Afrikaan word for seperateness. You’re referencing documents created to define the crimes in South Africa, whose sole purpose is to specify that what was happening in South Africa is a crime against humanity.

You are literally evoking the etymology of the word to argue for the dismissal of the word’s context. And then, in a fit of irony, claim that I am the one arguing in bad faith. You truely cannot find a better display of psuedo-intellectualism on the internet.

China, in contrast, has achieved unprecedented poverty alleviation and extends substantive equality to its ethnic minorities.

This is a hilarious way to describe capturing it’s poorest citizens, shuffling them into work camps, and using them to prop up their economy. But hey, it’s easy to lie about a nation with a noose around the spread of information, so have fun cherry picking some state-sponsored lies to embarrass yourself further.

Also, you’re saying you had no interest in the original posts premise that Canada is selling out its values by connecting with China? Your only purpose here was to make a thinly-veiled jab at Canada, disregarding the purpose of this thread? Who’s here in bad faith again?

All this unhinged rant of yours really proves is that you love to use words with no regard for what they mean.

All North American land is unceded first nation land, and apartheid exclusively refers to a political system from South Africa, so those points don’t really make a lot of sense. But, you know, I like using words for their actual meaning.

But I guess you’re right, you can’t betray your values by trading with an imperialist authoritarian nation like China if you have none to begin with. Or perhaps you’re suggesting Canada shares the major values of China, what with being a capitalist nation parading itself as socially progressive being built on a history of genocide and all.

It’d be real nice if our government would stop talking progression out of one side of it’s mouth, while barfing money into the hands of a genocidal nation with the other.

Anything I disagree with is racism.

Oh, as long as you’d like to discuss “horrifically racist shit,” what’s going on with the Uyghurs?
