Ah. Yeah, that doesn't seem likely.

[LegalLoliLover]

It's ironic that despite the fact that there is more evidence that China made COVID than the belief that Iraq had WMDs, the US went to war with Iraq more easily than with China. Apparently, might does make right.

[Mattias]

Can you show one piece of it that isn't some crazy xenophobe ranting on youtube/Breitbart lite?

[LegalLoliLover]

Also, Li-Meng Yan

[Mattias]

Like I said, any news other than crazy people on the internet? NY Times? Tribune? Reuters? Something other than a tabloid?

I read a super conservative newspaper almost everyday while at work, and even they haven't done more than comment on unsubstantiated rumors that China made Covid. And they FUCKING HATE China. And BLM. And anyone pushing Covid restrictions.

Actually, if you were in Canada you'd probably love the National Post.

Chinese that fled China hates China the most. It reflects badly on them if China actually does well.

[Mattias]

I don't know about that. People don't flee their homes for no reason. They tend to have really good reasons to do that. Except Randy Quaid. He's just fucking nuts.

I thought Breitbart was Infowars Lite.

If you live here, you will be amused how some really worship the West like they are gods. Some are saying their handling of Covid-19 is the best since it is weeding the old and weak, allowing the country to thrive. White abusing minority is fine, dandy and morally correct since they are 'superior' and we should all lick their ass to keep ourselves alive. Views like African American are being ungrateful to their saviors as they will be shit without them.

Some would rather live like shit outside then work honestly and earn a respectable income here since it gives a sense of superiority. Pretty amusing stuff actually.

It's funny because if you actually watched the video, you'll see that it actually does source WSJ and CNN. But I get it. You want noble lies (disgusting concept) to keep war from happening between the US and the PRC because unlike any given country in the middle east, the PRC would actually put up a fight. I note that you didn't say anything when I posted that the PRC is now trying to shift blame to India and Bangladesh, like a real life WWZ. I already see that this board agrees with me that Hitler could have carried out the Holocaus with impunity, if he built nukes first.

Views like African American are being ungrateful to their saviors as they will be shit without them.

African Americans? Look at what they think about Africans even from Africa:

I don't know about that. People don't flee their homes for no reason. They tend to have really good reasons to do that.

If you deny what Chinese people who left China say about China, you'll also have to ignore the account of North Korean refugees.

Actually, if you were in Canada you'd probably love the National Post.

Well, I'd hate being in Canada because I heard that they banned hentai. Canada appears to be Australia lite. Also, China Uncensored is affiliated with several ethnic Chinese individuals and groups. It's just that they all hate the CCP.
One more thing:

[Mattias]

Dude there's plenty of reason to hate China. From the genocide going on in Xinjiang, to the war they're trying to start with India, to all the stuff that's been done to Tibet over the decades, to Hong Kong becoming such a dystopian nightmare to live in, to them holding foreign nationals hostage on trumped up charges because their home nations are abiding by international extradition treaties, to their attempt to expand in the Pacific that follow RTS game logic.

You don't need to harp on the one issue that no one has actually confirmed. Did they fuck up terribly at the start? Sure as shit they did. If they were less concerned with covering their asses they could have stopped the thing entirely. You know who else that applies too? Pretty much every other fucking country. Especially the United "almost 200,000 cases a day" States.

As for watching your videos. I watched one of them a single time, and it was such bullshit that I never bothered clicking on any other of them.

And last I checked Hentai isn't banned, since every con I go to has at least one stall selling porn. It wouldn't surprise me if it banned loli though.

[LegalLoliLover]

Again, Li-Meng Yan is a refugee from commie China who accounts this. As for Canada, yes, it was probably just loli, but there was something about Canada being uncomfortable with the horse-man (not to be confused with a horseman) rape scene from Words Worth (your struggle only makes my penis harder), given that I recall the old article that was posted on the now offline Lolitron talking about it was using that scene's screenshot.

Also, do you remember that scene/line in Da Vinci Code (or Angels and Demons, not quite sure) where the priest makes some nauseating speech about how their faith is working so hard to help people? But then you realize that many of the donations to the church are used by said priests to live fat and lavish lives? Well, here is the modern equivalent, along with a modern religion:

[Mattias]

You mean this Li-Meng Yan, who's first response on google is the wikipedia which starts like this

Li-Meng Yan (simplified Chinese: 闫丽梦; traditional Chinese: 閆麗夢) or Yan Limeng, is a Chinese ophthalmologist and virologist whose 2020 publications and interviews alleging that SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Chinese government laboratory have been widely disputed by the scientific community.^[4][5]

Those references linked there basically boil down to the Yang Report not being peer reviewed in the first place prior to publishing and then going through to point out the many flaws which boil down to either the material cited in the report being unavailable anywhere for others to see and the ones cited to not be viral specalists.

It's basically the 'vaccines cause autism' thing all over again.

[LegalLoliLover]

Yan herself is a virologist. Who worked in the lab. Who escaped China. Again, if you doubt her, would you not look at North Korean refugees with equal doubt? As for unavailable sources, yeah, just ask the CCP real nicely to give their scientific data to foreign powers. They'll totally give the real numbers. /s

The main issue here isn't the number dead. It's the fact that unlike the US, China lied about the numbers to begin with.

People will believe what they want even if evidence is thrown at your face saying otherwise.

Yes she is, but all the studies she referenced in that paper were either by people who weren't, people who also didn't peer review their papers (which is the thing you need to be taken at all seriously in any science field), or the source doesn't seem to exist at all.

Look at it this way. I work on cars all day. But if I was to go public and say the new Ford F-150 explodes if it goes above 50 kph, and of the 15 other people I cite who also have this problem, 10 are actors without cars, 4 you can't figure out if they exist at all, and 1 is another mechanic who heard about it from a friend of a friend. Would you close Ford because of that?

No. I'd sound like a fucking lunatic spouting conspiracy theories because my Ford broke down in the middle of nowhere that one time.

But that is how the conspiracy dealing with China is ran. Remember McCarthyism?

Guess those who are strongly anti-xx are actually the hardcore participants instead.

Pretty wicked beard, too.
