        “Issues with westerners” is an odd choice given that I’m Irish but ok.

        It’s not my job to comfort American fragility. Genocide enablers are fair targets in all situations.

          Genocide enablers are fair targets in all situations.

          So what’s your issue with people going after China? After all it’s fair game because China is also a genocide enabler.

            I have no issue with people going after China. I’m not a hexbear/ml stooge. It is possible for two things to be bad. It is possible for something about a bad entity to be neutral or at least unsurprising. Which is how I would describe China’s lack of real interest in engaging with, from their perspective, the global order’s new fad interest in intellectual property rights.

                Explained is not the same as justified.

                I would have thought this was obvious but forcing your rivals to abide by their own rules while flouting them yourself is not an endorsement of those rules, it’s a mockery of them.

                  Explaining means you actually explain your point instead of throwing out random examples of others doing something similar and then mockingly asking “I wonder why they wouldn’t care”.

                  You also seem to be moving the goal post with every post. You said China doesn’t care to engage in IP fad, I showed China absolutely does engage in it. Now you’re saying of course they do because they flount the rules themselves. Actually they don’t. A few years ago Beijing IP court decided a Chinese artist had to pay around half a million to a Belgian artist for plagiarizing his work. I guess you’re about to find another excuse to shift the goal post once again.

                    You think I’m going to shift the goalposts for one example? Ok, yeah that definitely overrules literally decades of behaviour. You win. Here’s your Internet reward for the best argument. ⭐️

          So, wait, Namco are Genocide enablers? Since when?

          Also, my guy, I’ve met plenty of Tankies in my life, it’s not uncommon to see a westerner that hates westerners.
