Wait. Worm brain man says no real proof of a connection?

Now I think there may be one.

TLDR: Who gives a shit?

A. Is it really necessary to split hairs like this here? You come across as just looking for a pointless, pedantic argument.

Obscure characterization of someone else’s motivation != anything useful. (Am I doing this right?)

B. He fixed his list so it doesn’t matter. And if you did see his original list, then you could just RTFA they linked and figure it out.

Being able to say something != Something should be said.

(Yup it looks just as pretentious when I do it.)

I appreciate the correction, but there were two names on that list that were mentioned in the article you linked as having turned down the money. 🤣

This list is fucking inaccurate. Nice job posting bullshit and muddying the waters.

Bing Crosby, of White Christmas fame, was accused by one of his kids, for using a bag of oranges to discipline his kids.

Ok, Bing, no one was asking you for advice.

Fucking Bravo.

This seems like an incredibly effective operation that simultaneously limited loss of human life (even if that wasn’t a metric or the intention).

Machines killing machines.

That blimp would be particularly vulnerable though.

It would need a pretty robust defense to protect it from missiles/other aircraft

That’s because you looked “other”.

Just don’t do that next time, you should be fine.

(/S, just in case)

I am definitely not going to argue against the U.S. being a turd bucket.

I’m just saying China is the pot calling the kettle black.

For the next four years, absolutely keep us at arms length and don’t trust us.

China has been untrustworthy for decades and has zero impetus for change.

I’m not saying US good, China bad.

I’m saying you have to be pretty dumb to think China has any business talking shit about anyone.

It is this kind of bullshit that got Trump elected.

Y’all are either a bunch of trolls, paid propagandists, or just really dumb.

Any political advesery will take any opportunity, ESPECIALLY China, to make statements like this, because they can. They pretend to take the high road in order score points.

It’s laughable that anyone can even take it at face value. I am serious when I say that Trump was elected because people are so fucking dumb, that they can’t see the emperor has no clothes.

This is the same kind of bullshit political messaging, and it’s outrageous that you can even give China the benefit of the doubt.

I’m not trying to say USA is good, China is bad. I’m saying China has a history of this bullshit, so now you eat it up because they are talking shit about the abomination the U.S. has become.

FYI, saying China has been outspoken against the war is a perfect example.

It doesn’t cost them anything to say it, meanwhile they are happily selling weapons to Russia.

Just like US saying what is happening in Palestine is bad, while dumping armaments be on Israel.

Talk is so cheap, so you have to look at actions and China’s actions are about as bad as they come.

How is this whataboutism? You just picked some random buzzword to come back at me?

Man I thought Lemmy would be different but there is no real dialogue, just garbage vomited into comments

China has no fucking leg to stand on.

Anyone who can’t see the hypocrisy, then you are just like the idiots that voted for Trump.

So I guess we are the new axis of evil.

Sorry about this guys. No hard feelings when you split us in to East/West America.

Off to make a fake wall to hide my neighbor’s family from the Gesta… from ICE.

I fell in love with the first gens, but by the time I was able to buy one, it was a '96. 4WD and a standard. Terrible gas mileage, but I loved that baby and she always got me where I was going.

But I agree, the first gens were awesome.

Look what they did to my Pathfinder!

Fuck Nissan.

I’m right there with you and I live here. It boggles my mind that people voted for him and people stayed home.

The leadership on the left is terrible, and there is so much money and propagandizing on the right, it is insane.

They know who and how to target political messaging in a way that that was unheard of 20 years ago.

Even now, there are smart intelligent people that are like, “He seems to be making a difference.” Holy fucking shit!

And then they get mad when I ask them how. They always have bullshit propaganda points that were spoon fed to them and zero, actual understanding of the issues.

He said himself, it’s not a crime if you are saving America!

I hope Trump is told to fuck off and the rest of the world tariff’s us to fucking death.

I had a long rant but it just boils down to Hillary finalized the death of the Democratic Party and there has been zero coherent leadership after her eviceration of it.

Maybe America needs to die so something better can rise from its ashes.
