I'm conflicted. The article is justified in it's argument that the Times seems to provide escalating rhetoric to prepare the US for possible hostility/conflict, and I don't support them smearing someone like was described in the article....however I don't support these activists either. I think we can be pro-humanity without being pro-China. I'm not okay with the actions of the Chinese government and what they've systematically done to the minorities of their country and their constant aggressive stances in the South China Sea, their posturing over Taiwan, and the takeover of Hong Kong.
How can solidarity be the answer when both sides are unreasonable? Do you support a warmongering and hostile newspaper rhetoric, or a self-described Marxist, Maoist (pro-communist), pro-China activist?
Okkkay kkkracker. Kkkeep dropping bombs on the rest of the world.
Yes, I'm literally the person pushing the buttons to drop bombs on people. You got it. Are you literally the guy that's genociding Uyghurs? You the one with the gun?
This is entirely pointless. Can't even discuss an article without immediately devolving to insults and racism. This is why lemmygrad is getting defederated, because of little, racist, pricks like you.
Racism is when you participate in systemic oppression. Not when you get called cracker.
Oh, so we're conveniently redefining racism to fit our narratives are we? Racism no longer means the prejudice or discrimination of others anymore?
So if I called you by any sort of racial slur, that's not racist anymore? You have any idea how retarded that sounds?
So your telling me someone can call you a dirty, fucking and as long as they are not "participating in systemic oppression" then they wouldn't be racist? Ooookay.
