I am not going to listen to arguments based on events from 200 years ago. My family were being starved in Ireland back then.

China was a closed nation for a very long time. Any developments in China are down to China themselves. Do you even know the term of the Cold War?

There were no friendly arrangements between the west and China until very recent. The hand of friendship has been extended due to the collapse of Russia and the west recognising the futility of being aggressive for the sake of being aggressive. China also opened it borders, something unthinkable before the USSR collapsed. Since the cooling of relations between the west and China, China has abused that hand of friendship in many areas. Is it any wonder that hostilities are building up again?

1950 was less than 100 years ago dumbass

The sino-soviet split and triangular diplomacy says what?

Enjoy remaining incredibly stupid and easily manipulated for the rest of your life.

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Why thank you very much. Please enjoy the next conversation you have where you present many other arguments with absolutely no foundation or basis.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

with absolutely no foundation or basis.

Except for the historical facts which they presented you with, and the reason for giving that context? Each of their claims is basic history.
Do you not believe that what happened in our past shapes our present? Do you just think everything happens disconnected from the other?
So far you are the one who have yet to provide any basis for your claims. The other user gave a succint argument as to why China has reason to distrust western institutions and your response has been "nuh uh".
Do better.

Do better.

Lol my only purpose now is to wind you up. This stopped being a feasible conversation a long time ago when you tried associating the racist card as a valid argument.

It is very obvious you are a bot. You don't even realise you are answering three threads of the same conversation simultaneously.

You're gonna have to step up your game then. So far you're just a very basic run-of-the-mill chud pigpoop

This stopped being a feasible conversation a long time ago when you tried associating the racist card as a valid argument.

Dude, you're being racist, it's been explained to you how, you choose to keep being racist.
"Oh now you're playing the racist card." There's a real easy way to stop getting that card played - Stop being racist

It is very obvious you are a bot.

I thought you wanted to wind me up? If I'm an unthinking machine, how are you going to do that?
If you think I am a bot, why are you engaging with me? What a sad life you must have.
Your logic seems unfounded, I'm starting to think YOU might be a machine :thonk:

You don't even realise you are answering three threads of the same conversation simultaneously.

No, I do. I just wanna point out to you how you're being a dickhead. You're just being a dickhead everywhere. Do you really think there is a LLM advanced enough to carry this kind of conversation, but also not advanced enough to distinguish three different threads? How stupid are you? I know no people stupid enough to make such faults in logic, you must be a bot squidward-nochill

[-] Syldon@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Cya later bot. This was fun. 9 separate replies now. This is a new game to me, I may do this again.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I thought your purpose was to wind me up, bot now you're running away?
I wish I could have as smooth a brain as yours. You think you've got something, and the second you get the slightest amount of pushback, you run away crying, rather than in any way interrogate your own worldview. It must be nice to be thoughtless like you.
I does sadden me though, because it's obvious you really think you have something here. Does your eyes glaze over when text crosses 120 chracters, or is there another reason you cannot comprehend what has been communicated to you?

The US is based entirely on arguments from 200 years ago, the fuck you talking about?

Your family was being starved in Ireland by the fucking English 200 years ago and Ireland is still dealing with English occupation of their land. The English also starved India, and it wasn't 200 years ago. You think that forced famine is somehow more relevant than the forced famine in Ireland? It's not. History is present now.

China was a closed nation because why? Why is China being closed bad? Why is it European right to forcibly open China? What kind of fucking argument is that?

And then to top it off you think the West gave up on being aggressive? What fucking planet do you live on because here on Earth the West is still bombing the shit out of countries, lynching national leaders in the streets, training terrorists and assassins, and violently killing and subjugating people all over the world. And you think the West extended a "friendly hand" that China has spurned. Holy shit you are fucking delusional. Read a fucking book.

People like you: I don't care about history, we're different today and you should let us do what we want.

China: go fuck yourself.

And yet people like you are shocked that's what China tells you. China's been here for thousands of years, for China 200 years is recent history. It's cute that your people were starving though, hopefully that happens to you.

Imagine somebody you dated physically and emotionally abused you for 20 years and then 10 years later they get upset that you still care about something that happened so long ago lmao

[-] st0v@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 years ago

China opened up long before the soviet union collapsed. that's just wrong.
