Sure there is, and I clearly made it. I never said Trump's response to the virus was good either. The U.S. government bungled the response and Americans do whatever they want anyway, which is why people died. None of what I said had anything to do with how well or how ineffectually another country other than China dealt with the coronavirus. It is completely irrelevant to every single point I have made.

Yeah you're not a Trump loyalist but you do simp for him as a chaos agent who triggers the left. Which is internet fascism in a nutshell.

I'm not a slacktivist, so I guess I'm a slackfascist according to Vox or something.

Not liking the bitch ass identity left and getting a giggle out of their sad worthless misery is not fascism

In fact, Ant at least deals with the real problem in this world - wealth disparity

I don’t always agree with how but while y’all were worried about ****ing some stupid ****ing slur or some **** he was talking about UBI - you know, money, that people can actually use to improve their ****ing lives

You're a nut job who supports genocide to be edgy so you have no ability to think rationally about identity politics. When Ant compares BLM protests to storming the Capital so he can justify supporting the latter when he's been nothing but critical of BLM on grounds of property destruction and white supremacy not being issue then I call fascism.

And when you say yeah no I'd be all for socialism if it could be made to work but all his actual solutions are just give business guys (his class) money so they can innovate our way out of problems with science fiction solutions that actually require at the very least sweeping reform and regulation of business rather than handing them subsidies I say he just wants a government subsidy he can pocket and everything else he says is a front.

So in other words you don’t have anything. Got it. Just what you want to say it adds up to not he says it adds up to.

And I supported Myanmar’s action against the Rohingya people because I understand they can’t be expected absorb Bangladesh.

That’s Bangladesh. A country I’ve been to and a country you know nothing about. Every Burmese person accepted it because they knew there was no other way. And if you were Burmese you’d totally feel the same ****ing way. Everyone wants to put their western lenses on it but all they know is ten minutes of news clips and one or two articles.

I'm critical of BLM because they're a front for other people's money and a marketing gimmick. Their activities have zero bearing on anything resembling a comprehensive legislative goal, whether for good or for ill. They'll trash a Starbucks or a black-owned bar and defend that garbage on Twitter but they won't go to the Capitol and throw down on the politicians. There's nothing special or insightful about them other than the fact you agree with the optics based on white guilt or some other faux-emotional bull**** that you actually don't care about but you use as an excuse to strawman people in an argument on unrelated issues. Get over yourself.

"Science-fiction" solutions? Everything I've discussed in regards to tech is already here in some form or fashion. The challenge is, and always has been, widespread adoption. Reform and regulation don't matter if enough people don't become aware of the alternatives, and that's a marketing + "business class" issue. Every criticism you've ever made towards me based on what I've said in the past is based on vulgar generalities, and you are so scattered you can't even remember what you ever had a problem with in the first place. Your last sentence there is the epitome of slander.

nah bruh you have a transparently **** take here

It's all about deflecting blame from trump cause China bad.

Say what you will about China... Clearly every single east asian country including China , sk, Vietnam etc know how to deal with this sorta pandemic and we don't. The numbers are clear as day. Covid 19 is the biggest east asian win since the mongol empire.

Wrong answer bud. And the fact you really believe that is pathetic. You can't make basic distinctions so you have to strawman. I get it, but it doesn't work in an argument with me. News flash: the coronavirus didn't emerge in America, so constantly deflecting back to how Trump did a poor job in dealing with it when it didn't come from here is irrelevant. I look at it this way - America could have done the best job possible and you would have still seen deaths all over the world. If China had done what it was supposed to on a much smaller area of land (AKA a fraction of the effort), then nobody in any other country would have died. This isn't difficult to understand. Citing how great a job they did turning Wuhan into Ground Zero only after the whole planet got ****ed over doesn't change the fact they are STILL responsible.

I've never said anything positive about China in the last six years. That predates Trump, and that's what they're fixated on. Unfortunately, you have a few here who seem to have short-term memory loss and have to make up things I've said in order to make themselves look good. I guess they can be consistent when it comes to that particular approach. I know reading is hard guys, but you can do better than this.

So yes, I've always been a man of my word.
