    So? Seriously, so? That’s completely meaningless. “My mate said it could happen so it’s actually already happened!”

    Well my mate said that you’re going to murder your family, so how about you explain why it’s ok that you murdered your family?

      This is not a logical or reasonable comparison at all. The point is about having a culturally relevant person interested in the topics that allow us to bring relevant perspectives to the table. It’s much better as an example than say… a podcast like Joe Rogan and his buddies discussing war tactics.

        None of that remotely changes how ludicrously bad faith it was for to demand Cowbee justify something China hasn’t done.

        And boy oh boy do you love claiming that your assertions are unquestionably true because you heard it from a Chinese person, meanwhile you dismissed the actual Chinese person here who disagrees with you out of hand
