    It’s always funny how those that DON’T live in either of those countries always seem to be so vigorously nationalistic toward them, yet- those that actually live there are always silent on the subject…

    Wonder why that is.

      Who the fuck are you talking about? Chinese citizens, on average, are nationalistic to a worrying degree. Like very famously, it’s one of the defining features, one that you people tend to post to as brainwashing.

        So crazy how you just never see this displayed publicly… unless of course, we’re talking about those totally unrehearsed and completely non-mandated public displays of willful loyalty and silent obedience!

        Or of course… when mouth-breathing know-it-all tankies tell everyone they’re wrong in spite of reality.

        (By the way- I wasn’t talking about the native Chinese being nationalistic, I was talking about people that don’t live there. We know them as tankies. I thought I made that pretty clear)

            Oh I’ve been around plenty in my years. Both professionally, and recreationally. And strangely, for some reason, they all seem to want to live here in America.

            Anywho…. Appreciate the talk, it’s been hilarious! But I think maybe it’s time I let you go. 56 posts in 24 hours? You have to be exhausted!
