It's okay, pretty sure LLL will rather die than using Chinese goods. People who leave their homeland for other places will hate their homeland, especially if they actually allow most to live better than before to make themselves seems superior.

Anyway the oil leak over at Mauritius is horrible. That's how you destroy a country huh?

I have to ask: Where are you from? You seem to always jump towards the CCP's defense.

I thought it would be obvious. Actually, I only jump to China's defense cause your double standards are way too obvious. The USA can do the same as China, but you lick the former's boot clean while you express your righteous anger over the China.

[LegalLoliLover]

No, it's not. And I think that I previously listed reasons why they are not double standards. If anything, shaming the US to back down is a method for the CCP to rise in its place, as one can see from ICANN:

I think we can agree to disagree on our opinions. You can go lick USA's shoes and polish them clean and worry about the Chinese threat while I can go on with my life.

Unless they're Uyghur. Then they're not allowed to leave their concentration camps unless it's as slave labour.

Just like the Native Americans who get bombarded with drugs and gambling, not to forget media slandering.

Whataboutism is not a good defence for accused atrocities, just FYI

Of course not. But I'd feel better if people agree that the Uyghurs are having the same superior treatment as the Native Americans.

[AAM1232]

Then why bring NAmericans up?

[Mattias]

Thing is, people feel bad about that and wouldn't do it again. As much as it sucks you can't change the past. But you can affect the present and not precipitate another holocaust. Unless you really want to suck America's dick so much you want to make all the same mistakes they did. Like the computer nerd who takes up smoking to sit at the cool kids table.

America

fuck yeah!

Personal attacks aren't cool bro

Hey, anyone who makes the conscious decision to inhale 70+ cancer buffs multiple times a day deserves any shit given for it.

[OverMaster]

The United States and China have both made unholy amounts of damage to my country and yet I'm not always ranting about the evils of either.

I mean, they are world superpowers. Their being evil is a given. We would be evil as hell as well, should we ever rise to that spot.

It's what makes radical AU settings so fun. Let's see what an all powerful Canada looks like. Or world police Brazil. Economic powerhouse Sudan. All the France/England/Greece/Egypt ones just seem to be taking the classic depictions of the culture and upgrading it to modern tech, but I want to see the one's that never had the chance to be bigshots put in that situation.

Wakanda forever!

[SpoonyViking]

Nice!
Do you know where that's from? Is it from a fan comic, or is it from an official comic book?

[asterism42]

I don't, sorry

[SpoonyViking]

Ah, shame. Thanks anyway!
