Again: NPC behavior.

As a (far?) rightist I strongly disagree with for example communists, but I can understand them and their arguments rationally.

These creatures are NPCs though. They get their opinions not from rationality and using your god given logic while watching the news. They get their talking points in the same way your anti virus program gets updated.

So when they hear that people are opposed to immigration, they don’t for a second stop to think: “Gee, I guess social cohesion is more important to them than economic growth they don’t benefit from.”

Instead there are only two explanations:

A: They’re EVIL!
B: They’ve been MISINFORMED! We need a Joe Rogan to explain it to them!

Good morning, my wonderful, fine feline friends. 😽

What doom-spiraling media hype do we have on the menu for this lovely day? By sweet Jesus, did anything HAPPEN??? Or is it just the end of the world as we know it again today?

I'm ready with stock of donuts, beer, and meme folders.

40 years ago, people like @Meat Target would be bitching about VW Beetles despite them being stylish and good cars, so keep that in mind. Granted, I had a chance on a cheap Mini Cooper and passed because I didn’t want to be bothered with a newer car (I prefer to stick with 80s and earlier cars that I can repair on the cheap. Not a fan of dealing with computers in cars).

By the way Meat Target, it isn’t a dig at you, I just have never seen a correlation between car and driver habits in the normal car world. I read a study years back that showed a link between stickers on the car and road rage tendencies,with more stickers being more likely for road rage from the driver, but that’s it. In my area, the Mini Cooper drivers don’t cause problems and I always think it’s funny seeing their turn signals flashing the Union Jack.

No. It’s a rando making a joke by saying this is like how the US responded to Uyaniggers or whatever and the treatment from China.

Basically China is saying that they’re Muslims = Illegal Mexicans. Which, would be hilarious if the US did the same treatment as China.

There's a few Chinese shitposters that makes posts like this all the time. It may have been that same account who trolled someone taking it seriously by posting a picture of Mao and another CCP bigwig saying that was his grandpa, the propaganda commissar when it was Chou En Lai (he's not related to him in any way).

Who is this person though, and do they actually represent the policies of the CCCP/Chinese Govt?

I mean, any X commentator who is a journalist or opinion writer from the US could declare "The US has the right to intervene in Ukraine" but unless they work for the State Dept it has no more meaning than me posting something like that here.

Let’s not be retarded here. The CCP gives zero fucks about what happens to a bunch of beaners in California. Shit, the one thing that Chinese government media constantly harps on about is sovereignty and the rights of nation states to deal with internal issues in whatever way they see fit.

The main thing there is there’s zero chance they could get tanks across the pacific without us sinking the ships.

Unless reality has warped into some kind of 90’s action movie and there’s a boat with shipping containers full of tanks but I think the possibility of that is like quantum phenomena

Well gee, it’s almost as if China isn’t a military threat to America in any way, no matter how hard Neo cons are coping about it?

it's 100% real though
in some places, insurance companies will ask a higher or lower price depending on what model of car you're trying to insure, based on statistical analysis they do which consistently says that certain types of cars are much more likely to end up in accidents than others (the ones popular with young men)

Mini Coopers are just an annoying eyesore. They're still the most tolerable of my "motorist" subsection in the Book of Grudges, compared to:
  • concrete cowboys who drive lifted trucks while never hauling anything but groceries;
  • Soccer moms driving around only two kids in an SUV the size of a Stryker;
  • Luxury car owners who think traffic laws are for the silly little peasants (especially Beemers and Land Rovers).
All three of these drive like they're qualifying for the Special Olympics Grand Prix, and sometimes make me wonder if r/notjustbikes has a point. I do not go a single commute without making "DUHHH HURR DURRR DOY" noises in imitation of them.

Of course they are. You may not agree with their principles, but they’re a lot more consistent than any recent American administration, that preaches democracy and send USAID money to “NGOs” to SOME countries, yet cozies up to autocrats if they’re “our” kind of autocrats.

Oh Jesus Christ

Look, I admit to being retarded, taking a parody account too seriously and coping a little, but this is worse

“Hi guys I’m a far right winger who thinks China is morally superior to the US”

Do you think China isn’t IN on globohomo, that they weren’t consulted? Then explain how we just conveniently got the short end of the straw in every interaction with them under every democrat and most republican administrations since 1980
