    I’m not a doomer. I don’t think we live in some hopeless scenario where the world is forever doomed. I hate these words.

    there has been a split going on within the news mega between doomers and bloomers

    These words don’t mean anything. I hate that any point I make is summarized with some dumb internet word whose definition is open to interpretation.

    armchair quarterbacking to me, identical to people who say China is capitalist because Xi hasn’t pressed the red communism button

    If I take in all the current and past news from these past couple decades, something you have the same exact access to, and come up with a different conclusion, does that make me an armchair leftist? You can disagree all you want idgaf, but understand that these countries CAN make mistakes. I can point out these mistakes and honestly whole strategies, not out of a sense superiority, but because this is a niche internet forum. I do so to learn, discuss, and to see what others have to say.

    Honestly this place needs to put China down from it’s pedestal.

    Cool, way to treat an extremely serious and delicate geopolitical situation like a fucking videogame or prestige TV.

    I don’t know how you can read anything that I posted and come to that conclusion. So much of what I bring up has literally happened in the past. Hell, my position is the same position the Chinese had toward the USSR with their lack of contribution in the Korean Civil War.

      It’s optimists vs pessimists if you don’t like my choice of words. There’s a toxic dynamic that has formed recently in the news mega. Sorry that you got caught up in some weird online shit.

      Unless you’re one of those people in the news mega shitting on the PRC for not shooting down Pelosi’s plane when she visited the ROC president Tsai Ing-wen in 2022, this is not applicable to you whatsoever. There’s a particular shithead who I have in mind when I wrote that sentence and it isn’t you. My comment isn’t about you specifically. It wasn’t even a reply to your original comment in this mega.

      I don’t want to bring any more drama from a mega to another mega that has nothing to do with it.
