made what case? do i really have to specifically state that i don’t get paid for random comments on an irrelevant platform?

do you actually think governments would hire people to debate on platforms pretty much nobody is using, when they can just deploy a shit ton of llm bots on reddit (which they do btw). like this idea is incredibly stupid.

now that i’ve addressed what you wanted, respond to my points, please.

there’s no such thing as a nation of taiwan, or the republic of china, in the eyes of the international law. that’s what matters.

your “democratic nation” doesn’t exist in the eyes of almost the entire world.

the only difference between taiwan and china is that china is a communist country and the government in taiwan is a capitalist vassal state of the united states. the culture is the same, the language is the same, the history is the same (except for after 1949 when kuomintang started ruling taiwan under a dictatorship under martial law, which was later followed by liberal democracy as late as 1987

the only reason people want taiwan to be a separate country is because it’s pro-western and capitalist. there’s no real logical argument to be had for its independence. it’s just people being scared of big scary china and want it to be balkanized as much as possible to not threaten the western hegemony. the independence movement makes as much sense as like idk, a zhejiang independence movement (if the region was ruled by capitalists).

only on mobile

sure thing. what pejorative will u come up with next to distract from the fact that you can’t address what i’m saying?

take off the chainmail

is it fine if i respond with a terrible joke?

another great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said

this is a great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said, same with the other guy

the only normal way to interact with people is snapchat?

lol not in finland

this was a tradition until the early 2020s

i unfortunately don’t have energy to do that right now, i could hang out with friends that i already know for a bit but i’m mostly stuck in my bed ._.

something to keep in mind though for when i regain my energy

taiwan is just a breakaway province with its own government. even they think they’re china, just look at their name.

the republic of china (taiwan) is recognized by almost nobody, while ukraine is a universally recognized sovereign state.

and i never said russia attacking ukraine is imperialism, i said it’s irredentism.

in finland there’s no such thing

that “tankie” would be right, it’s irredentism in ukraine’s case, which is also bad

tankie is when anti-imperialist i guess

yugoslav.

slovenia wasn’t a country back then

i’m from finland actually! :D

what if they’re all pretending

not very interested in those.

i used to be very much into pc hardware stuff when i was younger but now the only thing i care about is that i have a pc that can run what i want, which is a somewhat outdated gaming pc with a gtx 1070 and a ryzen 2600.

modern consoles never really interested me that much, there’s not that many interesting things about them. you just put in the disc and play, or if it’s digital, just press the button to boot up the game, and the games have felt really similar since the ps3 era when hd gaming became a thing.

i’m still stuck in the ps4 era anyway cus i haven’t played almost anything from that era, and i’m not paying many hundreds of euros for a console, when i can just play older stuff that is just as good.

older stuff like the nes and snes is different though, as it’s impressive what they could do with the limited hardware, so it’s kind of interesting. the games are a whole lot different compared to modern ones too.
