    A common refrain from US soldiers during the Korean war was that “Chinamen can’t fight”. Underestimating their enemy turned out so bad for the US they had to call in the UN to bail them out.

    Im a seasoned veteran of reading extremely racist bullshit, but “The Chinese are not a martial people” is genuinely a new one for me, I did an actual double take.

    Usually just saying the word “martial” around these people will cause their brain to free-associate into “Chinese” within 8 nanoseconds, this one is truly an interesting specimen.

    “The MIC is a waste of money because our enemies are weak untermensch” is not really something I ever expected to hear.

      Communist not doing what the Western European diaspora say that the Communist will do means that Communism lost. (Capitalist logic, n.d.)

    Doesn’t modern China have a strong record of winning its conflicts? AFAIK they only had stalemates with India and Vietnam. The US has lost most of its major wars since the end of WWII, along with adventurism into places like Somalia ending in defeat.

    If I had any ounce of political power, it would be perfectly legal and encouraged to get people like Big Rooster’s IP address, dox him, and kick the shit out of him.
