Dude, your the one who created a Reddit account and spend every second spewing pro CCP propaganda, with a username that tries to make you look like an American so people will think you are an American talking BAD about the US. I come on here and discuss a ton of things. Sometimes I’m critical of my government (which you can’t be in China), and I also give my government credit for the many things they deserve.

As for collapsing empires. 1) we don’t have an empire, we have a country. It’s pretty telling that you still look at things on terms of “empires”, because your country wants so much to be one, which is disgusting. 2) your country has hundreds of billions of dollars that have evaporated when you overextended the construction sector, then the economy slowed and demand for new construction dried up. Your biggest(maybe second biggest) sector is hemorrhaging money with literal zero return, as large swaths of buildings lay half finished, unoccupied and worthless.

The funny thing is that I spend a decent amount of time in China, and have also travelled there for leisure (learned mandarin in HS and college), and the wonderful people I have met there are almost all down to earth and realistic about their shitty government. It’s only online that I find you totally brainwashed nutters. I mean, think about it- you spend hours a day shilling for Winnie the Pooh. What’s that say about your life?

Also, if you want to pretend to be an American, you probably should erase your post history which is literally nothing but pro-China propaganda. lol.

Look at his post history. This guy is about as American as chairman Mao.

What a ridiculous comparison. If a person who murdered their last 10 neighbors moves in next door, you have a reasonable fear that they will murder you and if you have an ounce of logical, you will take precautions against that happening. If a random person, who has never murdered someone, moves in, it would be silly to fear being murdered by them.

You are saying that the person with the neighbor murderer next door is as unreasonable as the person who is paranoid for no reason.

The entire South China Sea

Thank you! Love these designs.

He’s a troll with a weeks old account. General rule of thumb on Reddit- check the profile and anything under 3/4 months old is probably a troll, whose life is so pathetic that they spend their days trying to annoy/anger strangers on the internet.

They are from two different diffraction effects. The shorter “rays” are from the secondary mirror in front of the main mirror, the longer ones are from the hexagonal shaped mirrors. Both produce what look like six point “stars”, but since four of the effects of each mirror are at the same angles, they overlap, making the eight point “star”

When I went to college, I thought it was so ridiculous that we assumed life had to be carbon based. I majored in biochem and quickly learned why carbon is almost certainly the only base for complex life, and while it kind of made me sad, it was incredibly cool to think about different ways carbon could create complex life forms.

But Magellan didn’t die from a sailing issue. He died because he was an evil, stupid dipshit who thought a few dozen men could face two thousand and win. He fucked around and found out.

Are trolls targeting this sub? Seems every post now is someone trolling/asking bizarre questions.

Are you talking about the silly claim that AOC made, which was completely debunked, which even the NYT took her to task for? Cause that’s the only thing I can think you are talking about and three seconds on google will show you why it’s BS.

Few points: 1) The DoD didn’t lose money, they are not a company. They spend allocated money on defense. 2) what do you mean “they just lost $2T”? Their entire budget is 1/3 of that, so unless you mean “just” as in the last 3 years, and unless you count spending their budget as “losing” money, this makes no sense.

It was “erased” by the Soviet Union and only acknowledged after the Soviet Union fell. The better words would be suppressed or hidden, but I think we all know what he meant.

Yeah, you are trolling with your months old account. Glad you admitted it. How pathetic must your life be to be an internet troll? Must be so sad, lonely and pathetic. But good for you for not offing yourself! I’m sure most people as sad and pathetic as you just take a long walk off a short pier, but you found Reddit trolling to barely keep you going, so good for you and hang in there buddy!

He’s a troll. Look how new his account is. Just block and ignore.
