    Yeah, your job isn’t that more important than people’s lives. Sorry to be the first person to tell you.

    Can’t take the slightest dig, I see. I guess I touched an insecurity.

      Its not my job I’m worried about. Its the metric-fuck ton that’s connected to 60% of the world’s chip production that that island produces. As well as the lives of the citizens of Taiwan who’d be sacrificed upon your platter of ignorance, apathy and nihilism.

          Because jobs are important for keeping people’s livelihoods.

          I’m more shocked that you don’t give a shit about people’s standards of living, their wellbeings, or what they can provide for their families. But you don’t care about anything now do you?


          Do you even have any military friends or family? Do you even have any skin in the game with regards to the geopolitical decisions in this discussion? Or is this all just abstract whatever to you?

            There’s also a shortage of therapists, teachers, lots of career options for any tech workers who lose a job.

              Yes, you want me to lose my job. Gotcha. You hate me and everything about me. It makes you so smart. Tech workers are worthless parasites.

                I mean, if that’s the world you want to live in, I’m not stopping you. Clearly I’ve touched a sore point here.

                  The world I want to live in is the one where we protect Taiwan from shitty people like you who’d abandon them in the next political fight.

                  Real talk.

                    So you want the US to be world police? Get in WW3 with China? Right I get it. You’re a conservative. It’s just, historically these interventionist wars have not gone well, and I don’t think it’s worth it to continue on that way.

            There is a shortage of nurses, as I mentioned before. I’d prefer people lose their jobs, than to have people die in a war. You’ve stated several times that you think jobs are worth dying for, which, is just kinda sad honestly

              Lulz. And you change the subject again. What do nurses have to do with shitty Chinese memes?

              Do you care about Filipino immigrant families like me? The people building up the nurse population of your country? Or the geopolitical issues that we care about?

              No, just the nurse part. Gotcha. We’re just numbers to you and political talking points.

            I’m not even going to answer your question about the military bc I don’t think it’s okay to use your loved ones for brownie points on an online argument.

              Good. You’re beginning to care and recognize how fucking apathetic you’ve sounded this whole time. About damn time you pretended to care about something. Its a good start and I hope you can pretend to care long enough for the next discussion you have rather than immediately reaching for the hurrr-durrr I’m more apathetic than you and therefore smarter button next time.
