2021-07-06 at 11:27 AM UTC in China hate thead (aka: Thanks China for fucking up the world)Rabbitweed just parrots cold War talking points about Russia and makes them about China.
I'm not saying China isn't a threat to every man, Woman and child on the planet; I'm just saying it's not as simple as simple minded people make it out to be -

Originally posted by aldra They're the country's primary trading partner, and those comments have already led to massive disinvestment, reduction of trade volume, reduced student intakes etc. Are they a credible threat to their own trading interests? The problem is Australia's always tried to balance interests between the US/UK and China, and we're allowing ourselves to be used as a pawn in their trade conflicts.
The real issue with China (primarily China but other nations as well) is insane levels of foreign ownership of land and properties - this is because so much of the economy is tied up in real estate that the government can't let prices naturally fall, and in a lot of cities the only people who can afford to buy property are either foreign investors or the already rich. They're allowing huge swathes of the most valuable areas in the country to foreigners, often aligned-with or part of foreign governments
RE: militarisation of the SCS, I don't really care. We aren't contesting any part of it, it isn't our business
Aus is so import reliant China could choke them out with some trade war Kung fu. China relies on cheap Aus coal as well but would likely find a substitute before Australia finds a partner for their relationship.
Australia putting barriers on foreign ownership of property is the right thing to do. The housing market would be like Vancouver if it was allowed to continue and the best things about the country would vanish. I'm not sure what the construction and development industry is like in your country right now but hopefully it's being headed by Australians themselves. When you start letting foreign nationals start companies they find ways to skirt regulations pretty quickly and before you know it they're entrenched in a sector and start making the rules there. -

Originally posted by aldra propaganda pushing people into anti-China stances is absolutely mainstream here and in the US - around half of the points in OP are outright false or misrepresentations.
our defence minister recently made the statement that we needed to 'engage China in the pacific'… with submarines built from materials we bought from China… because they were 'threatening sea trade routes'… which we use primarily to trade with China
I didn't read the whole op because I could tell pretty quickly what it was about. I have not seen much in the way of mainstream anti Asian rhetoric in ANY prominent US publications Ober the last few years, they are obviously very careful and for good reason.
Also your defense minister wouldn't be very much of a defense minister if he didn't name the yellow peril. They're literally the only reasonable threat to the country. Even if his plan was redundant, it would be silly not to call them out for making scary sandbag atolls and putting aircraft on them. What else is going to justify his position and budget? Brunei? Australia has obviously made some laws to target the Chinese (that have had inadvertent effects on new Zealanders) to do with immigration and capital flight (as well as others I'm sure) but I was not aware of any anti Asian rhetoric in your mainstream news.
Also how do you know a chinaman has broken into your house?
A: your dog is eaten and your kids homework is done!!!!!
I just heard that joke yesterday. The person I heard it from apparently heard it from someone who worked at the CBC many years ago so maybe there is so latent bigotry in our media -

Originally posted by aldra > makes thread repeating mainstream propaganda about 'chinks'
Where is this "mainstream propaganda?" Certainly not in my country and I highly doubt it is in yours. The mainstream narrative seems to be "#notallchinamen" "bateaters are people too" and "its only the CCP that's the problem"
I'm not saying he's right or wrong, I'm just saying that thr criticism you see of thr Chinese mindset is pretty much of an apologist for the Chinese people and is very careful to separate the people from the government -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Who hasn't shit in the shower?
Just the other day I got into the shower and when that warm water hit my balls I started relaxing … next thing I'm shooting liquid diarrhoea all over the place … good times, once I managed to get the peanuts and corn husks to go down the drain.
Peanuts give me diarrhoea, but they feel good both going in and leaving, the texture as they squeeze through my ass sphincter is like a vibrator on my butthole, really good.
That's crazy, you might have a mild allergy, peanuts are underrated along with GWC, It must really feel great for your butt, I wonder if elephants experience the same thing when a peanut travels up their trunk.
Imagine you had a trunk that was a sphincter of mouth watering nerve endings. Just imagine star trek -

Originally posted by POLECAT Dr. Kandiss Taylor released a report yesterday identifying over 168,000 ballots in Cobb County, Georgia, missing required chain of custody documentation.
We’ve been reporting for months on the hundreds of thousands of ballots missing chain of custody documentation in Georgia.
Where is this report? I Googled who that person is and they're a homely overweight school counselor running for governor. How does this guidance counselor have all this information that no judge in the nation has seen???? What a whacky world!!!! -

2021-07-02 at 2:27 PM UTC in Gay political strife #CancelCanadaI lit off fireworks and got extremely drunk. Went to a usually popular establishment that was pretty empty. I'm all for hanging nuns and priests by their thumbs while going ham on them with corkscrews as well as holding the government accountable for a genocide but we can celebrate the best country in the world as well. It's not mutually exclusive to hate the government and love the country.
Canada also is a native word for "village" or something. Someone post the heritage minute -
