Yawn more useless personal anecdotes based on stereotypes and hearsay. China's domestic policies are irrelevant to their foreign policies.
Facts based on actual research shows that Chinese economic investment in foreign countries are far more benign. But hey keep regurgitating nonsense Trump used as propaganda in the trade war.

I like how you completely ignored my point, and just put your fingers in your ear and repeat US propaganda from the Trump administration. Fact remains that your claims of "debt traps" does not correlate with actual data which clearly shows that China has renegotiated most of its loans. It only seized assets in ONE occasion.

LMAO. Like the fact that Chinese loans actually account for less than the IMF? And the fact that China has in fact renegotiated and forgave much of its loans, and it's the developing countries approaching China?

You remind me of this American woman who thinks the Chinese building ports in Africa is worse than the US starting wars.

Most Western countries also developed thanks to their colonial projects, but in the developing world many still live in poverty due to most of their resources being stolen even as of today.
Western countries have better social views on average? Says who?
The moment when you realize its 2024 and the world is still just as childish as it was 100 years ago.
They're already claiming Iran's doing this because they know Biden's too weak to have Israel's back.
Accusing Biden of enabling genocide is just the new hes too old.
Just an excuse to drive abstention and get Trump elected.
FF9 is the most overrated FF by far and away. Yes, even more than 7. It is not particularly strong in any category.
The soundtrack is probably its most grossly overrated trait
This has become less unpopular over the years but Secret of Mana is just not a good game. Great soundtrack, but the combat is terrible, and the fact that you can get comboed to death by werewolves is completely unacceptable. People only really have positive memories of this game because of the multiplayer.
I'm guessing it will be some anti capitalism dribble like what's popular in media now.
Well, now that the GOP has gifted Arizona on a silver platter for the Democrats, Im feeling much much more comfortable about Bidens chances in November.

Now it's DEI
Irs funny how they all unanimously move on when they realise they eventually make themselves look stupid by overusing the word so much.
A huge difference being that NZ isn't supplying weapons, or obstructing UN resolutions, or sending military support to the region, or...
Plus, as mentioned, my vote will be going to the one relevant party that doesn't support them at all. Because that's what I *can* realistically do. Who on a side note are about as far from "far right lunatics" as you can get without venturing into the left wing equivalent territory.
Good thing the popular vote means something
There you go again, putting words in my mouth. My country's support is in the sense of that politicians aren't taking a strong enough line against it. Not in the sense of that they're fucking supplying weapons. Even Winston Peters, probably the most pro-Israel person in there, wants to see a ceasefire; and while it's hard to take his word too seriously, at least he hasn't been taking significant actions that contradict his claims.
We aren't fucking like you.
quote where i said that?
undefined posted... it's a suspicious death and should be investigated as such but suicide is usually a highly irrational action and people that commit suicide are generally not in a normal state of mind
I've denounced Republicans plenty of times when it's relevant, but since for the most part they've only come up as a deflection and everyone already recognizes they're shit, there's not much point.
It's no different to Israel supporters insisting everyone who doesn't end every criticism of Israel with a statement about Hamas being bad must be secret Hamas supporters.
Y'all keep saying this as if liberals can define it either.
Why waste time on an impossible goal?
And at what point during this did I suggest anyone should vote Trump?
Prior to being educated on some of the finer points around US elections, I was saying vote someone else. Since then, I've been saying vote Biden if you absolutely have to but don't fucking criticise those who can't bring themself to do so, and consider using the threat of non-voting as leverage to pressure him into changing course on Israel. On both sides of that point, I've held that downplaying or deflecting what he's doing is unacceptable.
What fucking part of that is supporting Trump?
Ah yes, despite repeatedly stating that Trump is worse, despite the only thing even resembling a defence of Trump being calling out hypocrisy, I must secretly support Trump.
Fuck off with that crap.
Seemingly all the ones who feel that it's okay for Biden to supply weapons to a country that are using them to commit genocide.
Almost as if you're crying "right wing Trumper" to shut down valid criticism. It's very noticable that it's only the ones who seem to have a soft spot for Israel that are trying to brand me as that.
So weird how few "Genocide Joe" users are showing up here. I thought they deeply cared...
Polls are shit don't even bother looking at them
