>These judgments about entire countries are much too grandiose and strident to count as thoughtful comments here.
They are not really thoughtful comments. I dont know how productive they are but I guess some people appreciate them.
I dont want to contribute to a circlejerk of "we hate china". For sure not.
I usually get carried away though.
>Those readers have a right to come here and not see comments denouncing their country and often (by implication if not explicitly) their ethnicity, and in a way their families too. Moreover, since such comments are pure flamebait, they are a vector toward this site destroying itself with flamewar and we have a duty to prevent that.
Sure do I have the right not to be dismissed by "americansplaining"?
I dont really disagree with anything you have said I just find it incredibly difficult to discuss controversial topics on the internet.
My family had been at the receiving end of such countries. Twice.
I dont believe in a policy of appeasement. At all.
China is too similar to Nazi Germany for me to ignore it.
It is an evil, vile country that has deception and absolute disregard to human rights deeply rooted at its core.
The youtuber SerpentZA only scratches the surface of what this country is doing to not only its people.
And this is not an overstatement. To compare it to countries like Korea and Japan would be doing disservice to these countries. They are both objectively racist. Are they evil?
Well not at the moment. Imperial Japan was evil. Current Japan is just hypocritical.
We are defending western civilization.
I would rather China to collapse than to see it replace the US of A.
China is actively trying to erase any minorities by replacing them with han chinese.
It is an evil, vile country and it needs to fundamentally change before we accept its ambitions.
You will get downvoted to hell for this but this is a sad reality.
Most people dont realize that open source is unsustainable. Only the big and strong (the megacorps) will be able to outcompete everyone by providing complex stuff for free.
The problem is the delusion in the valley. Not everything is a tech problem and not everyone is a tech company.
I am sorry but Uber is just a glorified taxi middleman and I have seen a good enough alternatives in some local markets that blew Uber out of the water.
What does Uber bring to the table if they cant even win in some super small countries?
