    Second, I lived in China for 6 months and I’m telling you the statistic is wrong

    How exactly would you spending a few months in China in any way affect whether the statistic was correct?

      Because I learned China doesn’t report accurate numbers all the time. They have state controlled media since the 40s. I’m a real life person who studied China, lived there, learned from natives about what is really going on. Put yourself in my shoes. Hypothetically, how could you explain this experience differently?

        And how does you going to China for six months support any of those claims? Especially when you’re just brushing off the person actually from China (aka, a “native” as you’re racist ass calls him)

          I call myself a native Californian. Maybe it’s a cultural thing that makes you think it’s racist?

          Honestly you’ve gotten just about as toxic as the other guy. I’m concerned a good faith argument is no longer possible. I hope you prove me wrong.

            Fuck off. You were never arguing in good faith in the first place, and you deserve vastly more toxicity than you’re getting

              I only argue in good faith. The very idea that people deserve toxicity is more aligned with fascism than anything I’ve said.
