A trend that will only continue to grow.
Fuck the terrorist states of USA and Israel.
Everyone else: China please save us from the deranged bully that is the US
China: *continues to play alone with their trains and EVs
[toot toot!]
Actually, they can. Just because you're not able to notice a pattern in your actions doesn't mean others can't.
"Better to talk loudly to show you are a lying moron than hold your tongue and allow them to remain uncertain" - the book of Trump 230:-12 from the new trump bible.
Maybe America should stop oppressing most of the world if it wants to be liked?
For me the pivotal moment was witnessing how Chinese authorities responded to the Hong Kong protests vs. how US authorities responded to the George Floyd protests.
Baltimore 2015 protests vs Hong Kong 2019 protests for me.
Police were driving in tanks to Baltimore for a peaceful protest
and commenters were all on this "what about public property rights?
What about the rights of store owners?" tinge,
because a couple of protesters decided to burn a trash can
and protested on a work day, so store owners decided to close their shop,
thus losing money (Oh no!).
Hong Kong 2019 came around and rioters were tearing down train stations left and right
trashing stores breaking anything and everything until there was nothing left of it,
tearing up roads to block traffic, setting up bombs, attempts to derail a train,
biting police officers, stabbing police officers, driving into police officers with a vehicle,
attempts to steal guns from police officer holsters, beating up civilians,
setting one on fire for saying "Can't we get along?" and killing another.
And then they demanded to be fully free of any charges for that and a apology for being called rioters.
All because Hong Kong wanted to arrest a murderer and extradite him to Taiwan.
Not one that the protesters believed he was innocent,
as he was the only suspect of choking a recently graduated high school girl to death
and then chopped her up into little pieces with an axe, throwing her remains into the river.
And the reaction? "What a beautiful sight. Such brave resistance fighters. Such brutal police."
I specifically remember one article that was "the Hong Kong freedom fighters are using bows and arrows against police, just like in heckin Hunger Games"
What I remember from the Hong Kong protests:
"Hong Kong peaceful protesters are resisting police crackdowns by bravely opposing their 'cease and desist banners', armed with nothing but umbrellas, laser pointers and petrol bombs."
What I remember from the George Floyd protests:
"Laser pens and petrol bombs are lethal weapons and if anyone uses them, they've become legitimate targets justified to use maximum lethal force against them by our armed forces. Those aren't your grandma's lasers. Shoot those bastards!"
I'm in the US and I'm starting to feel the same way
America doesn't want to be liked; it wants to be feared.
seems like it's failing on that front as well though
Good job JDPONDon
I'm starting to have similar feeling, and it's not because of the leaders, it's because of copies doggy business models, no right to repair, suscription everywhere, planned obsolescence meanwhile they call them self "green"
Finally
Holy moly those two guys look weird
