“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.
Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.
If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.
Sure, I’m bigoted because every cheap thing I’ve ever purchased was of a lower quality than every expensive thing. Do you really believe that everyone who buys a car manufactured in Japan for twice the price of a car manufactured in China is a victim of marketing, and you’re the only one who really understands the reality? That’s arrogance.
You’re so close to getting it, and then you turn away from it at the last second.
So yes, you’re bigoted. Very bigoted. Much like the people who were spouting off about “cheap Japanese goods” in the '70s and '80s were. And their related ones doing the same for Taiwan and Korea later. And now China.
Or, you know, the ones spouting off about “cheap German goods” before that.
Just because I’m bigoted does not mean that China does not have an established culture of manufacturing cheap trash that poor people want to buy.
Again, you’re so close to the truth but your bigotry blinds you.
Which is hilarious, to me, coming from a person on a German server.
But hey, it’s not as if Germany has a history of intense bigotry or anything.
