    Yarr yarr Imperialism. I’m 15 and this is deep.

    Long standing relationships between countries, people, defense, economic ties don’t matter. All that matters is imperialism. But not the kind that Chinese would do if they attacked other countries. That imperialism we should just let happen because other imperialism happening elsewhere is a bigger deal.

    Its silly to care about other countries. Except when you care about Gaza, that is more important than huge economic, societal, political, and military relationships that have lasted decades across the pacific. Yaaarrrr, Israel bad.

      You’re making fun of caring about imperialism, but the whole reason you said it was important to go to war with China (aside from the computer chips) was that you said China is imperialist.

        caring about imperialism

        You don’t care about Chinese expansionism (aka Imperialism). So don’t give me that bullshit.

        Look, you can pretend to care, or you can pretend to not care. When you pretend to do both, its… kind of hilarious and I like making fun of it.

          I don’t like either one, but why should the US be the world police for imperialism when the US is one of the most successful empires in history? Kind of amazing the amount of cognitive dissonance. You flipped out when I dared say anything about your job, but you’ve been continually mocking and insulting me the entire time.

          You don’t care about stopping imperialism, you just want your country to have the stronger empire so you can keep your dumb job.

            No shit Sherlock. At that moment, this became entertainment to me. You obviously are an asshat.

            More hilariously though, is how you haven’t been able to add anything to the discussion despite this whole time. Now maybe you’re just trolling me too, but I’m cool with accepting the troll baits now. I’ve given you plenty of opportunity to add a discussion point of some kind of cultural, political, military, economic significance. But apparently the best you got is imperialism and more insults.

            You don’t know shit about this geographical area. You keep trying to pivot to Gaza in a topic about Chinese memes. I’m just trying to see where else you’re going to go.

              I’ve been saying the same points because you haven’t refuted them whatsoever, lol. I don’t think you will, because you genuinely want the US to be a strong empire, and we just will never see eye to eye on that being an acceptable goal for a nation.

              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?

      You’re literally the one who brought up imperialism. You’re not even consistent, you’re just kinda trolling I feel like.
