Okay, I spent like 10 minutes searching my mind trying to fully understand where you're coming from and meeting you halfway by listing things I don't even believe to be true about China. If you can't engage with people who disagree with you under those circumstances, then what level of engagement did you expect?
How is it fair to anyone reading your comments that you spend 20 seconds writing them (evidently that means you didn't read my response)? How's that fair to me? That's really disrespectful.
Yup.
Ignorance and lies do not inspire respect my good sir.
But you are the ignorant one? You don't understand China at all.
And you have something stuck in your teeth. It is unsightly.
Funny how you say replying to people is just robbing your time and then keep replying for dozens more comments
You didn't read my comment.
Why would I call lies something I did not read? That would seem dangerous.
Okay, so you read my comment. Presumably that means you think I lied somewhere in that comment. What did I say that was incorrect?
You did not read mine, did you?
None of your comments have been longer than 2 sentences. The one you left replying to my long one explaining why I don't think it makes sense to call China authoritarian unless you also apply that label to Europe suggested that you didn't read my comment, yet you said that I am posting ignorance and lies. I am trying to understand why you think that I wrote lies and ignorant things without reading my comment.
The ability to preternaturally know when someone is lying to me without even hearing what they say sounds like a really cool superpower and if I could learn how you do that, it'd be great.
There is one I explain why. The fact you don't like its content does not invalidate it.
Yeah, that one's 3 sentences. My bad. I've read it like 15 times. I don't think I understand your reasoning as to how I'm lying yet. You don't know that I'm not a bot and you don't want to talk with me. Fine. But you're saying that I lied, when it appears you didn't read what I wrote.
Maybe a 16th time and you will get the difference between "lie" and "willful ignorance"
Le good sir
Oh please, don't rob yourself of your time, you're not adding value to the conversation anyway
