I highly doubt that the people who are motivated to attack Asian's in general are doing so just because someone they are exposed to happened to use a joke containing words you find offensive.
Really? Please explain then the sudden link between hate crime up specifically on Asian American people by 147% over time after Trump had created that "joke" and repeatedly used it. There's also plenty of studies showing there is a link between disparaging jokes, and in grouping and out grouping. The ingroup (trump supporters or those who like the joke) subconsciously or consciously disliking the out group more and more.
You see, that's not an attack from me on their citizens as I'm sure it really sucks to live under communist rule.
Is china really communist? Let's see we have huawei, who has a CEO, workers that are paid a form of currency, have to buy food, clothes, housing... Has a private market and other companies, who follow a similar structure... obeys the government and what it says.... Yeah that's not communism. What I just described, is exactly what the United States economic system is... Which is capitalism. Don't believe me? Communism means the workers have the right to production. But in this case they obviously don't. If that was the case then everything would be in the public, all resources such as food, water, and other materials, if this was state communism, some materials or many would be limited by the government. Catch in this case though is that it is not, materials and resources are limited to companies, well, more specifically with the government there having control over what the companies are doing in a very strong arm approach.
Tl;dr China's party name really is just a carry over, it's been long state capitalism.


Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to justify random acts of violence, but the Communist Chinese Government can go get fucked.
It's just you're assuming that these people attacking Asian's are acting like 5 year olds who get upset over a few words and that's just not the case.
Yeah and killing black people like five year olds isn't a thing. Or how about those "dirty spicks" who are supposedly diseased and evil for crossing over the border, referencing to Latino people.
I grew up in a Racist house hold, I know the code words. I know when someone is trying to say the quite part. And your saying that quiet part really well, too bad it's just a little too loud.
And maybe oh idk... not rile up people to target specific groups of people from a certain descent. Or you know not spout how those brown folk are going to rape and murder your family....
and If I haven't painted a picture yet of who I'm kinda alluding to. That would be Trump, that would be the Republican party. Don't believe me? I think it says a lot when twitter says they can't create a anti racist algorithm, because it would ban too many Republicans in the United States. I want you to sit and think about that, and what that means.
If you actually believe that your not like them, that your not racist, start working on your word choice and who support. You don't need to support some lefty, I just ask of you to be mindful of who your supporting and what they are saying. Because those words have serious implications on others.
China has done so much wrong that there's literally thousands of things to get upset over.
And the United States has done so much wrong too. Like for example, you bring up that China hiding it is a bad thing, which I will agree.
Does that change how unprepared we are? No? THEN WE FUCKED UP
It is INEXCUSABLE from a country who MAKES THE MOST WEALTH IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, YET CAN'T STOP A FUCKING PANDEMIC.
Your telling me, that a country that has gone to the GODDAMN MOON. Cannot stop a virus?! Can't, oh, idk. Provide a actual proper lockdown!? You know, not 3 MONTHS AFTER THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT KNEW!
Viruses Spread exponentially. Every hour not spent locking down during that time period is many MANY cases added to the list.

I dunno, maybe it had something to do with this little thing called COVID-19 and its origins?

They are their own form of communism as there's the theory printed in books about how things should work and then there's reality where things work out differently. I do understand that China has adopted many facets of capitalism because socialism/communism doesn't and never has really worked out, but their own Government calls themselves the Chinese Communist Party and does so for a reason.

I don't hate the country, didn't hate Trump and know damn well that the virus was discovered in Wuhan, China. Even if there was a few American's working at the Wuhan lab that's no different then a few Asian's working at Amazon in the USA. So we have a couple of Asian's working at Amazon that doesn't mean if they fuck up your order and send you something that you didn't order that it's somehow China's fault.

I'd be more inclined to understand your point of view when it comes to fighting off the pandemic, but the last time I checked it infected almost every nation on our planet and it still does so your point is sorta mute.

Okay what is the difference between the United States Economic System and China's? Tell me, how are they different. Make sure you don't conflate your governing systems, as that's a separate system. If you do, well let's just say I'll be able to figure out you don't know what your talking about.

I'm not educated on the economic factors surrounding China. I was referring to China as a whole and how they identify themselves as communists. If you don't like that they are identifying as communists yet rely on some things that resemble capitalism then take it up with the CCP.

Separate? Part of the CCP's position is to oversee the economy and everything else in China.

EDIT: My lack of education regarding the Chinese Government still has nothing to do with the origins of the virus and the origins of the virus have nothing to do with Biden's son and the double standards in the media. There's another thread that is discussing the virus and its origins. Maybe you should bring up China in there?

I don't believe for a second that you were offended by shit. But let me get this straight, you're offended by someone quoting Trump, but not offended by Trump actually saying those things himself? Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy.

As far as I know Trump didn't use the racist terminology "dirty ******" contained in Reual's reply.

I don't have to ask them. and you just admitted that you're not educated on the topic. Then let me who has done many hours of research on this topic. China isn't communist. I can define communism. Can you? Also...

I wasn't talking China's party. I was talking about China's general economic system. Which to me, is clearly capitalist. However your telling me it's communist. So I'm asking you to point out exactly how it's still communist. If you cannot define what it is then clearly you don't know what communism is. Explain to me how I am wrong, go detailed.

I already admitted I'm not familiar with China's economic system and that I'm going off what the CCP says about the country it oversees. Will repeating myself help? Because I just did.

Okay then are you going to listen to me then? As someone who's done a lot more research than you? I've already pointed out the glaring issues with that statement. Just because a person or group, says they are something, doesn't mean it is what it says. it's like taking the word of a thief who is actively stealing, and they are saying "no I'm a honest person I didn't steal" it's circular reasoning. You look at both their actions and their words. And I'm telling you it's capitalist, I've already given my reasoning, and if you don't believe me, I want you to seriously compare and contrast china between the United States. Ingoring the CCP, and specifically focusing on economics, and how it effects the people day to day. Do people have wages, how do they get food on the table.

You know full well what is being referred to. Stop pretending to be ignorant.

If you think for a second that they'll ever stop nitpicking the of the smallest of semantics or a single word that was misquoted, they won't. If you think they're here to have an honest, intellectual debate with anyone, they aren't. Conservatives are not capable of these things. If you make any sort of reasonable argument to something they say, they move straight to a non-sequitur argument to try to make us look stupid. In their head, they think they're winning, while we all know they look like deranged lunatics. The only way to win is to stop playing. Sadly, it's like a car crash. I just can't look away.

I've been listening (reading) this entire time. I also forgot to address the communism in my last reply.

As for communism. There's the theory and then there's what happens when its implemented. It's about the same as socialism in that they sound good on paper, but fail their citizens when adopted. I don't need to know specifics to know that bad things happen when they are implemented and could care less about how they're supposed to work. It's like knowing that pedophiles are bad people without needing or wanting to know what makes them tick. What I'm trying to say is that I don't care how they (communism/socialism) are organized and are supposed to work because they are old useless ways that fail when implemented.

your dodging. I didn't ask about "what happens when it's implemented"
I'm asking you to compare united states economic system vs china's. Can you find a difference between the two. And if so, I want you to quantify it outside of the scope of parties, and just look at the actions occurring.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

because if china really is communist, you should be easily able to quantify how it's communist and different from the United States, which is capitalist. If your struggling to find differences that means one that one of the assumptions made is wrong. And it's either United States being capitalist, or china being communist. You cannot have china be communist yet have almost all of it's economic qualities be equivalent to United states capitalism or vice versa. This is called proof through contradiction.

I know what the CCP says and have also been told in the past that communism was failing China so they had to implement stuff from a system that's proven to work (capitalism). As for differences between the USA economy and China's I'm really not interested in China's economy at all. I don't like the place and don't plan on visiting. They can do their own things, but I wish the dishonesty would stop. They lied multiple times about COVID so I can see how they are possibly lying about other things, including that communism was failing so they needed to source from something that works instead of sourcing from methods that are proven to fail time and time again. I mean, seriously, if you're playing a video game and lose at a level you change up your tactics. What you don't do is keep repeating the actions that are preventing you from winning.

I know what the CCP says
That doesn't matter what you know about that CCP has said. Your giving a lot of excuses to keep dodging a simple compare and contrast I have asked of you, which is can you prove to me that china is communist through comparing and contrasting economic systems to united states (which is capitalist)

So you hate communism or at least dislike it, given that your conflating the CCP as communist, but don't know what it is.
nice
that doesn't lead to any fear based manipulation or fear mongering (if you couldn't tell, the bold was sarcasm.)


hey can do their own things, but I wish the dishonesty would stop.
And I wish you would quit dodging a compare and contrast. It's proof that you are uncomfortable with having this conversation about if china is actually communist. Because it gives the opening to be wrong... right? Maybe your doing it subconsciously, or consciously. But your avoiding my arguments, and beating around the bush. And it's leading me to speculate why that is.
Until you address my actual arguments, instead of side skirting them. the conversation will pretty much be ended here. as we will go back and forth ad nauseam.

I'm not afraid of being wrong I just really don't find economic topics interesting. I'm happy to end the discussion too as this thread is supposed to be about Biden's son and the fact the main stream media gives him a pass on almost all of shit he does yet attacks conservatives for doing the same stuff he's doing (or did, I'm not sure if Hunter Biden still gets hookers and smokes crack).

claims it's communist,

can't define it being communist. And then when called out asking if they are sure it's communist through a contrast and compare to the united states
I'm not afraid of being wrong I just really don't find economic topics interesting.
if your going to make a statement, back it up with more than "they said". Otherwise, don't say it.
