Democracies worthy of the name must stand together for the rule of law, or fall apart.

JFC I IMPLIED THAT CHINA HAD IMPERIALIST AIMS AGAINST TAIWAN. THAT'S IT.
I didn't say "you must talk about literally every other thing that is bad".
Why don't ALL of you go argue with the specters that are obviously whispering things in your ear that I never said. I'm out. You "win". Congrats.

I'm not focusing, I'm just not excluding.
Why is it so fucking hard for you to entertain the idea that more than one thing can be bad?

They've refused to recognize Taiwan my entire adult life. Thinking they can't be imperialist because they're not western is well, more realistically, very racist.

"What sort of imperialism is China involved in?"

The original post was talking about how it's false to say that "enabling Russia and China" is the reason to condemn America's bad actions, and then people started going "China's just building infrastructure".
America is imperialist. China is still a one-party dictatorship which wants Taiwan.

I am 2 jobs deep on quitting jobs due to moral issues. I am transgender; the job market is exceedingly bad for us; and I still did it. I am in a shitty underpaid job right now because of my last one.
Have a fucking spine.
