    I saw that Nazi trash instance pop up in my feed and decided to shitpost because it was obvious Nazi trash. It does not deserve serious conversation.

    Fedditors don’t understand how federation works.

    This is clearly bait the mod posted to fish for “tankies” to ban. There’s pretty good reasoning that the /c/buyeuropean people would want to produce their own microchips.

    Yeah I don’t know what Taiwan has to do with the comm. Random stupid article completely irrelevant to it, then they blame those who don’t agree.

    Taiwan’s story is the mirror image. Twenty-three million people built a world-class economy and a resilient democracy by pairing technological excellence with open debate and free exchange.

    Literally a dictatorship not that long ago.

      it was a military dictatorship until the late 80s lol. there was martial law and curfews. it was a literal one party state. there were no debates or free exchange.

      and the world-class economy was all because of the glory of capitalism and free enterprise and was not related to a) pillaged mainland gold reserves and b) investments from the american empire

      What happened to all the indigenous Taiwanese, hmm? Where did they go? Did they all just decide to start speaking Cantonese one day as a joke to confuse the mainland?

        the cultural genocide of the indigenous peoples didn’t end during the guomindang era but it was probably a lot worse during the late qing era and definitely worse under the japanese colonial era.

        most indigenous speak mandarin btw and (especially in the east) also still speak their native languages. never met an indigenous person that could speak cantonese but some of them can speak taiwanese

              The blue (mandarin) areas on the east coast are the areas with the highest percentage of indigenous.

              I guess the sudden dark blue in the the northwest is some part of Taoyuan where a lot of waishengren (mainlanders arriving during the civil war, mostly former military families) live

    Seriously, where do these state department groupie losers even come from? Why is lemmy so infested with these roleplaying neocon freaks? They have no constituency, no popular support anywhere, these incels are possessed by the idea of going to war with China, meanwhile nobody, from MAGA to the socdem left desires this warmongering filth

    These people are phantoms without a home

    • A lot of Europeans have convinced themselves that they are the MOST PROGRESSIVE people ever but they’re also super fucking racist, so you get this 2016 liberalism coated on neocon reactionary “we need to buy from our glorious European countries because we like gay people (we don’t actually)”

      The entire guy from eu, stop consuming outside culture shit from European liberals is literally just putting paint on their white supremacy because they know deep down it’s bad and they’re supposed to be “progressive” but they’re also super racist

  • Every “buy from Europe, only take part in European culture” liberal is their sister dating a black guy away from reading mein Kampf and goose marching.

    It’s literally just white nationalism with the thickest coat of 2016 liberalism

    By the way, I was looking at the modlog and the ban history of this shithole instance is all over our modlog, are we federated or something with these sinophobic rats?

    It was kinda funny and trippy looking at our modlog and seeing shit like “Banned, reason: Tankie” and “removed, reason: Tankie bridgad

    Ragged English tail on the American dog, your sunset empire that struggled in Falkland wouldn’t make it to 100 miles from the shores of Taiwan if China was serious about retaking their sovereign land. It was the same when Deng told Thatcher to pound sand when she tried to double-cross the deal to return Hong Kong after the lease was up, and it’ll be the same every time it comes up.

      if China was serious about retaking their sovereign land.

      Yeah that’s the part I find most ridiculous about these takes, that China would crater the economic stability they’ve built in the region, alienate allies, and engage the US military machine for a rock in the ocean. Unifying China, standing up to the evil empire, it makes for good rhetoric but it’s not the same as a serious threat.
