Friendliest lemmygrad user right here.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

why be friendly to people who hate you

[-] fedfedfedd@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Im sorry, I didnt knew you were the victim all along. I thought you were the one who is starting all the drama. My mistake. How can I make you feel better?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

Nice of you to put words in my mouth, nowhere did I say I'm a victim. I just pointed out I don't have to be nice to you. Really gotta work on your troll game.

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

"People hate me"

"I'm not a victim"

People tend to dislike boot lickers... even ones who can't see their visible victim complex 🤡

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

So much projecting happening there little boot licker. Don't you have some indigenous kids to genocide there, mighty canuck?

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

Lmao still can't put a decent comeback together.

"Quick throw some whataboutism at him before my pathetic argument really falls on its face. I'm sure some personal attacks will hide the fact that my victim complex is leaking through my vitriol" 🤡

The emoji comeback is just the chefs kiss cherry on top.

Stay mad, dork 🇹🇼

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

imagine having taken the time to write that. Why would I be mad at somebody who calls himself mighty canuck, you're actually proud of being a genocidal settler LMFAO. 🤣

[-] fedfedfedd@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

I love how you start using that emoji when you get frustrated.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

I love how you start psychoanalyzing when you troll.

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

Just part of the dance. We’ll sell Taiwan another couple billion dollars of weaponry on schedule as always.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Of course, Americans would love to turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, but I doubt you'll get your ghoulish wish in the end.

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

Taiwan doesn’t want China to invade, so they buy weapons from the US and other countries, and also have developed domestic missiles to strike at Chinese cities in case of invasion.

Don’t know what to tell you.

If anything Ukraine has hardened the Taiwanese stance, and showed them what an ounce of prevention is worth. I expect the next order of weapons to be even larger, because nobody actually wants another Ukraine.

If you think Taiwan has any chance of doing anything in a war scenario you are out high with copium in the stratosphere and you are becoming delirious, it would be one of the shortest wars of all time. Simply proposing this scenario is a clear indication of how deep rooted the industrial military complex propaganda of the US has invaded people in the first world. Hope the collapse of your empire doesn't hurt too much on your privileged ego.

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Taiwan has at least 1 anti ship missile for every Chinese vessel and 1 anti air missile for every Chinese aircraft, and this just from US-supplied weaponry(I encourage you to read the Wikipedia article above). Taiwan also has hundreds of domestic missiles that can hit as far as Wuhan, and at least 50(and more coming) that can hit Beijing.

You say Taiwan can't do anything in a war, but this certainly seems like a lot of something. Propaganda or no, things tend to explode when you shoot missiles at them.

That said, certainly China would eventually succeed in invading Taiwan(barring foreign intervention), however China knows the cost of invasion and is not willing to pay it, so Taiwan keeps buying more weapons to ensure the price remains high for China.

Were it not the case, China would have invaded by now.

So instead China is doing slow diplomacy and hoping sentiment in the Taiwanese govt and people trend towards unification.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

We'll just wait and see what happens in the next election in Taiwan won't we. DPP isn't exactly popular last I checked, and once US loses its puppet regime then the whole gig is up.

[-] mancy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

once US loses its puppet regime then the whole gig is up

Were you born yesterday or something? DPP and KMT alternate the presidency like musical chairs, similar to the republicans vs democrats in the US. At least people in Taiwan can vote lol. That’s more than I can say about their angry neighbour. Sorry to be thriving I guess, I hope one day you’ll get the help you need and finally get over the fact that most Taiwanese people prefer freedom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

>Company owns the same 2 brands of shit flavoured soda
>You can choose between donkey's diarrhea and cow's bloody fecal matter

>Freedom

Being able to choose between two parties that represent the same group of people is not freedom, is just theatrics so that incredulous people like you can whine when people decide they don't want to do things as white western people told them to.

[-] mancy@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

You are so wise.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

I see you haven't been following recent developments in politics in Taiwan. I recommend catching up.

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

I like how you refer to the fact most Taiwanese people want to either retain the current situation or gain further independence as a "gig". Strong tankie vibes.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

I like you pretend to speak for Taiwanese people without having a clue about internal politics of Taiwan and the effect of influence US there via things like NED. 🤡

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

There was a Taiwanese person in this comment section who is very clearly anti mainland.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

What does that prove exactly, there are obviously lots of people in Taiwan who simp the west. US spent vast amounts of money cultivating them.

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's true that Taiwan is full of burger simps, but they're a lot easier for libs to believe than any amount of evidence. Anecdotes aren't evidence, but they have a way of making people their better than evidence.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Liberalism is basically a proselytizing religion at this point. These people are convinced that their way of life is the one true way, and everyone in the world must be forcibly converted to it.

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

I’m just telling you what polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’d rather send in the tanks.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

The polls of the Taiwanese population are indicating that US backed DPP is crashing while KMT that wants to repatriate is polling high, however you don’t seem at all interested in that, because you’re a shill for the empire.

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Check again, genius. Also, here's a poll stating that the majority of Taiwanese are against the "one China two policy" and are in favor of the status quo, meaning that KMT approval doesn't necessarily mean supporting repatriating.

Also, I don't understand why you would call the US an empire, while also shilling for the actual emperor who is now serving his third term, which btw was originally against their own constitution.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well I guess we'll just see what happens when KMT gets into power won't we genius. Meanwhile, wait till you find out how long people like Merkel have been in power. I guess using your galaxy brain logic, Germany is a dictatorship. 😂

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

No, what kind of galaxy brain do you have to think Germany and China is even remotely comparable?

Go back studying XiJinPing Thought, tankie. Your sacrifice is required - nay, obligated - for the party.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

You're the one said that Xi having a third term means China is a dictatorship. I'm just pointing out that longer terms are pretty common in western democracies. I love how your comeback is to just spew nonsense. Really highlights the quality of your intellect there.

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also said that they changed their own constitution just to accommodate for it. Did Germany do that for Merkel? Also, do normal Chinese citizens get to vote for their leader? Cause as far as I know, they don't. Not even their People's Representative is elected by their own people. (Fun fact: there's a Taiwan representative in their Congress, which obviously wasn't elected by the Taiwanese people at all) There's not even a single choice outside of the CCP. You ignoring the huge elephant in the room that China is a one-party system, thinking Xi essentially voting himself in is remotely comparable to elections in Germany, and thinking that "third term=dictatorship" is the only thing I meant, really highlights the quality of your intellect here.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Countries change constitutions all the time, not sure why this is so significant. The point is that German constitution already allowed for this. Meanwhile, western style parliamentary democracy is just one implementation. If you think that's the only way democracy can work then you really need to educate yourself more. Having more parties doesn't make a country more democratic, the question is whose interests the parties represent. Chinese system is democratic centralism and it's clearly doing a hell of a lot better job representing the interests of the majority than any western system given that quality of life in China keeps improving while it's collapsing in the west. Claiming that Xi is essentially voting for himself is the height of comedy. The fact that you don't even know the basics of how political systems work really says everything I need to know. Bye.

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

I'm sure that Taiwanese people all want to be under CCP's rule instead, right? After imperialist Japanese colonisation, KMT dictatorship, and the fight for democracy, surely the majority would want to give that all up in exchange for dictatorship. That makes so much sense!

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago

KMT started dialog officially repatriating in 2014 when US decided to run the sunflower movement that put DPP in place. DPP is currently crashing in the polls, and everybody expects KMT to get back in power at which point dialog will restart. KMT politicians have already flown to the mainland ahead of that. If you think people in Taiwan are stupid enough to let the west turn Taiwan into another Ukraine, then what else is there to tell you.

Meanwhile, not sure what this dictatorship you're yapping about is. Given that you don't even know what political system China has, your opinions on the subject of Taiwan can be safely discarded.

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lol. I guess being Taiwanese and reading first hand news and social media posts straight from China makes me less educated than you on the subject. There are multiple YouTube channels by Chinese people who had fled from China talking about their experiences with life under the CCP. Few also even have Chinese police force pressure their families back home to threaten them to come back to China. So I am very well aware of what China is and what they impose on their people. Safe to say that your opinion on Chinese politics can be disregarded.

And I don't even know where you got your poll data, cause KMT isn't even looking remotely good in the polls. This is a news site generally regarded as having a more Chinese bias, and even they were reporting that the DPP is winning in polls, not to mention it's also KMT's SECOND time nominating a mayor who is still in term to run for presidency. The last one lost against DPP and had his mayor title recalled by vote mind you. This time around it's Ko who is in better position to compete with the DPP. You know who also got invited and flew to China? Ko's team. So you saying everyone expects KMT to have a comeback is just talking out of your ass.
