🤦
what an amazing show of doublethink
keep in mind that China has consistently supported these sanctions <:pepekek:329662310971080704>
US plants bases around the east as purposes of provocation
but no
totally innocent
kek
oh my god
by the way, nice argument, that's not what we're talking about
provocation?
south korea provokes with their wealth and freedom
as in who threatened who first?
"Is North Korea innocent, and totally undeserving of sanctions?" "muh us imperialism"
nice argument
I didn't say North Korea was innocent
I said provocation was met with intimidation
So China isn't imperialist when they defend their own interests?
But the US is when they do the same?
<:thronking:321284126332420097>
sure they are
nice 180
the argument you stumbled into half way through was in regards to whether military intervention resulting in widespread human death is unique to communism or capitalism
no it wasn't
How is that a 180? China and the US both have motives for expansionism
I argued interventionism is a thing in any system, not just capitalism
you just said that china preserving north korea for no reason other than to act as a buffer wasn't imperialist
and then you just said that china is imperialist for doing that very thing
what the fuck is wrong with you
erm
"buffer state = not imperialist"
was sarcastic
as in
we do it so we can have a joke state
<:ryuko:279305409875935232>
not a buffer state
"US buffer state = not imperialist"
"Chinese communist allied state = imperialist"
I wonder, where did I say this?
Oh wait I didn't
Weak attempt at a strawman my dude
I never argued anything but a rough equivocation of the two, I defend neither the US nor China
the argument starting with "I gave it as food for thought versus the "Communist Death Toll" meme"
