They weren’t out, they were never in, the coins were just bribes disguised as “investments” into a currency.

The more subtlety minded individual might just ask their parents.

She’s still a powerful voice in the Democratic Party and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her in a primary again

Thiel would have been a good one. Khamenai isn’t far from saying Maduro supports Trump by giving him an excuse to do a colonialism.

Edit: lol the immediate rage downvote, loser

Okay, but hear me out: quantum

“Why is my child applying to Nestle’s child mines”

Oh I bet he did

Which is why I linked a post where OP is pulling a whattaboutism just a few hours before, because dunking on tankies is apparently more important to them than opposing genocide…

And then mocked their idea that being a hypocrite means you can’t criticize bad things.

Hmm, it’s possible I’m getting you mixed up with some other Z-name as you jump in to defend OP’s gatekeeping of criticizing genocide with your self-admitted ignorant nonsense.

My comments are pretty clear and consistent imo. You’re the one who admits they’re deliberately ignoring the actual meaning out of some weird personal spite.

If you insist that’s the case instead of being a Zionist trying to shut down critics I’ll believe you.

Who said it was? The obvious sarcasm mocking their claim?

I find it pretty telling that the people trying to argue the point can’t even follow a simple conversation with provided context.

Lmao, what an incredible self dunk from one of Lemmy’s admitted Zionists.

Maybe you should follow the link to see why I’d say that with obvious sarcasm…

I mean, you don’t even need the link to detect that, but it might help the divergent homies or whatever nonsense you’ve got going on here that makes you ignore literally every other sentence in the comment.

Out of ego deflections alreast, huh

Like I said,

🤷‍♂️

Truly whattaboutism is when you point out whattaboutism. As for strawman… Lol.

There’s not a fallacy name for just being wrong so I guess I just have to laugh at your attempt to contribute.

Learning is fun, isn’t it?

🤷‍♂️

This could have been a great moment with such a blatant moment of dissonance for introspection and interrogating your own biases, but some people can’t admit that to themselves.

Unlike me, obviously.

Unless, of course, I’m just giving you too much credit in the first place and your worldview stops at “China bad” with absolutely no consideration that you’re engaging in the same flaw in thought as a tankie’s “America bad”

I’m not. You had a bad take and are too proud to admit it… Or that you’re being a hypocrite.

I upvoted this meme, as it happens, because it doesn’t try to whattaboutism imperialism. Unlike the other one.

And the Chinese empires collapsed and were reformed as different states ruled by different groups across different regions a dozen times. It’s a nonsense point that posits some weird form of generational sin combined with ethno-nationalist irredentist rhetoric, unironically the same kind of thought that lead Mussolini to claim the holdings of the Romans rightfully belonged to a new Italian Empire.

Or Israel the right to kill any Muslims in Palestine for that matter, paying no mind to the fact that they’re also the descendants of Judea.

America and Britain are both older states than China… Even if you want to go with the most racialized ethno-nationalist view of history possible the Han Chinese who are currently on top of the Chinese ethnic pile were the conquered subjects of the Qing Dynasty, who sprang from a different ethnicity called Manchus (from Manchuria, shockingly enough)

That’s just the last dynasty, the various Chinese empires were dominated by a lot of different ethnicities.

But Americans and Canadians criticizing imperialism and conquest is just a political ploy, right? Because you can’t criticize a state for something your nation has done itself.

Or is it suddenly okay for some reason when it’s not about genociding Palestine?
