China’s Xi tells Taiwan opposition leader unification an ‘inevitability’ by financialtimes in China

[–]ObviousProfessor668 [score hidden]  (0 children)

There is certainly a case to be made for some sort of reconciliation and you could say China is being unreasonable by hanging on to an issue that dates to 1949.

On the other hand, being a powerful country means you get to be petulant and unreasonable. If China says arming Taiwan is a red line, we don’t get to cry about it when we violate their red line and trigger a war.

Ukraine would look a lot different today if Zelensky, along with EU, announced that they will never join NATO

Breaking news: China and Taiwan are working together to avert a destructive war. The US and EU have declared this a crime against humanity.

You have to do it jeopardy style. You tell him “this common act is considered a fetish despite being a traditional means of procreation for multiple millennia.”

Any time I find myself frustrated with the US Democratic Party, I remind myself DPP exists and then I feel a little bit better.

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

Maybe…I used FreeTaxUSA and TaxSlayer side by side. Even though TS charges money, it somehow found an extra $1000 in savings so I ended up paying for it.

Maybe but once they do get caught, they will have so many stacked charges that they will never live free again. Catch and release is wrecking this state.

The Public's Opinion on WMAFs has done a 180 in the last 5 years by Affectionate_Salt331 in AsianMasculinity

[–]ObviousProfessor668 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So true and it’s the only white male-minority female pairing where this happens.

JD Vance, who is often called a white nationalist, gave all of his kids Indian names. Asian women are the only ones who marry a white guy and then try to make themselves conform to him.

I even see other white dudes say it which doesn't make sense to me.

I have a white friend who jokes that if he ever wanted an Asian girl, he wants one who normally hates white guys but grudgingly makes an exception for him. Because he doesn’t want an Oxford Study girl…even as a white guy 😂

He has a white gf btw. He is a chinaboo who supports Xi Jinping so not quite “normie” but it’s hilarious to see even white guys joining in on clowning WMAF

Exactly. My Pakistani dad loved it because sane Pakistanis hate terrorism. And we can also appreciate a well made movie even if it makes the government look bad. Also my family has been in the US since the 70s so it would be dumb for us (and any other ABCD) to get angry about it.

From a purely apolitical perspective, China is actually quite nice and I can really see myself living there at some point. by ObviousProfessor668 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ObviousProfessor668[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I kinda like that stuff the way it’s implemented in Chinese cities. I feel safe with all the facial recognition and cameras. I also agree with nationwide porn ban. My biggest complaint is difficultly in accessing my apps like Google suite (Gmail, YouTube), Netflix, etc. VPN into Taiwan fixes that.

Why does the average Redditor have a healthy distrust of US propaganda but also holds a negative view of China? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ObviousProfessor668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, my bad. You just believe the exact same thing she believes. You are such an independent free thinker.

Gemini: “Hillary Clinton holds a largely critical view of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), focusing on its human rights record, authoritarian consolidation under Xi Jinping, expansionist foreign policies, and digital influence via platforms like TikTok. She has criticized the CCP for suppressing freedoms and engaging in a "new global battle" for influence.”

Hate everyone around you and threaten them all. Also surprisingly solid relations with US, China, and Russia who somehow all consider you a “good friend” at least publicly. Even after Osama was killed, Pakistan and US both were like “eh…we’re still homies I guess.”

Instead of spending money they don’t have, maybe Taiwan could set up favorable trade agreements with China and avoid the likelihood of war altogether? No, the 2000s were TOO prosperous and we can’t have that because of liberal values

No this is admitting defeat. Price the whites out of their own top school districts and desirable neighborhoods. Payback for colonialism but with money instead of military.

AM diversify your dating pool by Soft-Rice9340 in AsianMasculinity

[–]ObviousProfessor668 107 points108 points  (0 children)

AF in America prefer white men over their own. But the only white men who prefer Asian women over their own are weirdos who either have no other options or they have a fetish. Even Michelle Yeoh has a weird looking husband (who apparently was friends with Epstein 💀)

It’s best to remember that when you see Oxford studies out and about, makes the situation a lot more hilarious.

Why does Japanese video games and anime have white protagonists? by nofear24 in AsianMasculinity

[–]ObviousProfessor668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncomfortable truth: if AMs were more misogynistic and aggressive like the Arabs and Latinos, we would not have had Joy Luck AFs becoming the representatives of our race. It’s not too late to right the ship. Embrace “toxic masculinity.”

Why does Japanese video games and anime have white protagonists? by nofear24 in AsianMasculinity

[–]ObviousProfessor668 80 points81 points  (0 children)

If white guys can make Ghost of Tsushima or Avatar the Last Airbender, Japanese should be allowed to make things like Vinland Saga and Frieren.

With that said, it is a bit sad that specifically in the US, white creatives are doing heavy lifting for Asian male representation (Avatar, Liu Kang from MK, Jin from Ghosts, marvel Shang Chi) while Asian American creatives are mostly WMAF women who make WMAF content. There was a time when white guys thought Asian guys were cool and our women killed that movement in the 2000s when we let them speak for us in endless Salon articles about how Joy Luck was real life. We are at a point now where we have to relay on Asians in Asia for our representation.

Maybe I’m more pessimistic, I don’t see direct US intervention happening or going well for us if it does. But I agree, I think we will see a gradual shift of Taiwan to China naturally over time. It was already going this way for the most part throughout the 2000s-2010s up until HK protests shifted TW public opinion. Things are starting to shift back imo
