Lmao that comment saying all Vietnamese hate China, despite the renewed efforts by both China and Vietnam to work together

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
its what happens when you have a media bias in any direction. TBH, Vietnam just plays the middle man card and tries not to get on anyones bad side, because its often the winning option when you arent near the frontrunner.
Americans seem to be under the impression that Vietnamese people worship them. They like Americans because they keep pandering to the natives more than the diaspora (much to the anger of the economic elite gusanos in the US who do genuinely worship them), and they’re generally “nice” and have a shared dislike of China.
They’re not stupid enough to believe the US will be a reliable ally in any conflict nor are they interested in being a bulwark. People aren’t oblivious of these neoliberals and their boners for austerity, servitude, condescension, and imperialism
i don't know that you could ever forget the lessons of the Vietnam war
Imagine these surveys after 4 years of Trump. We were extremely lucky during the last Trump Administration that Xi made massive foreign policy missteps right, but he seems to have pivoted and replaced most of the Wolf Warrior people.
Huh?
I wish these weirdos would elaborate. For my entertainment.
What PRECISE missteps did he make? Xi/China aren't perfect, so seriously, I would like them to say wtf they're talking about from approximately 2016-2020
Very likely the popular, although debunked and discounted by neoliberal economists, bullshit about "colonizing African" via fair loans. Unlike the IMF which definitely doesn't use financial power to coerce and manipulate with horribly destructive loans.
i cannot name any notable misstep china made, foreign policy wise, besides like my personal opinion that they should be more of an asshole to the west
I'm gonna guess they're talking about the protests in Hong Kong
Lmao.
Oh yeah those protests that were very organic and that we still talk about all the time...
You're probably right though. It's just hilarious they think anyone remembers that except politics freaks cough and... that's about it
Yeah I don't think they have any idea that it began because they couldn't extradite an admitted murderer back to Taiwan and were changing the books to make that possible. Incredible movement.
What’s so interesting is that I was a huge lib during those protests and was cheering on their fight against the cops
It wasn’t until they started calling for the UK to re-colonize them while calling China colonizers that I realized I was cheering on fucking idiots and pawns, and my newly found liberalism almost immediately crumbled, and COVID was the second plane that hit the remaining tower of liberalism shortly after and completely destroyed it
If Russia invaded Ukraine back in 2019-2020, it would’ve had the same effect on me because the western media was telling me the country was full of nazis and corruption only to be democratic all of a sudden
For me it was the Trump flags and people defending them by saying "they don't know what those flags mean." I'd never really thought about the liberal condescension and infantilisation of others before that, but it was so obvious during those protests (and barely a step above 19th century talk about "savages" as well)
Those are Asian people. What they think doesn't count, and that's if these freaks even really think they count as people
They're only smart and industrious if their national interests align with the West's. Otherwise they're ant-like and industrious. Also their stuff is cheap and breaks all the time, except when it doesn't
Posting r/neoliberal is basically cheating!
...not that I'm complaining. I enjoy it.
It is cheating. On us. With another webforum.
