why do you think i care about random redditors on an obscure subreddit?

if you weren’t banned, you’d be upvoting those comments :D

let me guess, you’re one of the ones that got banned from reddit “for no reason”

this is absolutely bullshit, like a quarter of drivers in finland don’t respect the zebra crossings and everyone except for suicidal idiots check their surroundings before crossing the street

you’ll get hurt sooner or later if you don’t check if a car is coming

more on my other comment cus this is the second time this person has repeated this dumb claim

lmao nobody?

i look before crossing the road and i sometimes still get almost ran over by idiots. you have to look for cars or you’ll get hurt, so most people do.

we must not be living in the same finland or you live in the middle of nowhere with no cars, or you don’t notice people checking their surroundings cus you’re on your phone

or someone AIstic

suggesting someone to drink another soft drink is LITERALLY maniacal attacks

so true bestie

that makes sense. i kind of have the same viewpoint as a european, but i think it would be hard to get the average joe to move over if they’re similar in data collection policies.

i don’t know what the average viewpoint is but what i hear often is that people here often think of china and usa as similar “devils” (note: i don’t agree with this, i think china is a lot better). people are like “these massive countries are the same shit in a different package. america, china, both bad”.

so with that said, i think a lot of people would have issues moving over because they’re already used to youtube and everyone’s there anyway.

i was thinking they might have some knowledge of even more intense data collection policies than google, but that might be giving them too much the benefit of the doubt

i saw this on reddit.world earlier and people said this company is even worse than google

is that true?

made what case? do i really have to specifically state that i don’t get paid for random comments on an irrelevant platform?

do you actually think governments would hire people to debate on platforms pretty much nobody is using, when they can just deploy a shit ton of llm bots on reddit (which they do btw). like this idea is incredibly stupid.

now that i’ve addressed what you wanted, respond to my points, please.

there’s no such thing as a nation of taiwan, or the republic of china, in the eyes of the international law. that’s what matters.

your “democratic nation” doesn’t exist in the eyes of almost the entire world.

the only difference between taiwan and china is that china is a communist country and the government in taiwan is a capitalist vassal state of the united states. the culture is the same, the language is the same, the history is the same (except for after 1949 when kuomintang started ruling taiwan under a dictatorship under martial law, which was later followed by liberal democracy as late as 1987

the only reason people want taiwan to be a separate country is because it’s pro-western and capitalist. there’s no real logical argument to be had for its independence. it’s just people being scared of big scary china and want it to be balkanized as much as possible to not threaten the western hegemony. the independence movement makes as much sense as like idk, a zhejiang independence movement (if the region was ruled by capitalists).

only on mobile

sure thing. what pejorative will u come up with next to distract from the fact that you can’t address what i’m saying?

another great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said

this is a great response when you aren’t able to address what’s being said, same with the other guy

yeah it looks great without it, would love to try some without the cilantro

lol not in finland

this was a tradition until the early 2020s

that’s a fantastic idea as a country of 5.7 million people

why didn’t anyone think of this before!
