That's rather presumptuous to assume you know the intentions of a country you've likely never been to, know little about, and don't even speak the language of.

That being said, what is the goal of the US then? Seems like both countries are competing for the same thing...

The point is, advocating for a species-wide common goal shouldn't be a bad thing. Whataboutism on humanities survival is laughably stupid.

This guy's logic is profoundly troubling. What's more troubling is that his vote counts as much as ours. And there are tons of people like him, who literally can't think past their own completely meaningless existence.

​

Not that any of us have much more meaning, but christ.. at least we are trying to continue the species and planet. Imagine thinking "welp, shits bad but it isn't directly my fault, so might as well just lay down and enjoy my job at Wells Fargo til it all ends."

Suppose a group of passengers on a boat suddenly notices that the boat is sinking due to a small hole, but that they all have buckets of varying sizes they could use to offset the incoming water.

​

Using your logic, only passengers with large buckets should bother throwing out water, because they will have the most impact.

​

In a life or death situation, WHICH THIS IS, do you think this is a wise decision if you want to give your boat time to reach shore or find rescue?

​

If small contributors do nothing, China certainly will not. Protests create pressure, which can and ALREADY HAS had an impact.

​

It's a good thing for you that society has built up safety nets for people with poor survival skills, cause yours are lackin.

Uhh... so if no one ever protested or advocated for anything to be done.... do you think anything would be?

​

This isn't a case of "protesting is the clear answer to sold all problems." It's a case of "protesting is one of the few things we CAN do to ensure the people that CAN do something, do."

​

Your logic is bad. I hope you've already realized this, considering everyone is telling you the same thing.
