Westoids better pray that the Great Firewall stays up. For their own sakes.
“well there’s a place in Shanghai that sells fake shit”
oh no. there’s a bad place in a city of over 26 million people. not literally everyone in Shanghai is 100% honest and forthright. we have no option but to nuke shanghai then
Fake shit is awesome. If Prada or Gucci or whatever don’t want to deal with fake shit they shouldn’t sell products that can be replicated at 10% of the asking price.
Don’t know why any normal person has an interest in defending the IP of multi-billion dollar French luxury goods conglomerate.
When I went to Morocco last year I was offered so many Rolex watches and Patek Philippe watches, for the small price of only 200 Moroccan Dirham. If not for the fact that everyone else I know is madly in love with the concept of IP, then I would probably have bought a few.

Yeah, good. More eyes and minds working on research means more chances at cool discoveries and advancements.
IP ostensibly exists so people can make a living selling their inventions or whatever, which is so many steps removed from the better solution of just giving people food and a house. Fuck markets, fuck marketing, steal my shit and make it cooler than I ever could have alone. Or fuck it up and send people my way looking for the real deal. Either way I’ll still keep making that garbage because I love making it.

The main reason for the China doesn’t respect muh IP laws thing is the good old racist Westerner belief that China is incapable of developing anything on their own, they can only rip off Western products.
they can only rip off Western products
Bold saying this about the 4000 year old civilization that gave the world gunpowder and noodles
you should mention to your friend how the USA flaunted IP law for the first ~150 years of its existence
Expensive watches are one of the funniest rich people scams.
One of the most important things they pay premium for is having a less accurate watch
As someone who has a passing interest in watches, I find watch nerds to be insufferable a lot of the time. Some mechanical watches are tiny marvels of engineering and art, but 90% of watch dudes just want to soyface over a stainless steel Rolex with no complications assembled by a machine.
The only good watch extraordinaires are Casio F-91W fans.
Are other cheap Casio models included in this? 🥺
As long as they are cheap and not the models filled with bourgeois decadence.
Pol Pot killing people with glasses, except this time checking to see if a person’s wrist watch has a bourgeois date function instead.
I’m old enough to remember wishing I had one of those cool Casio watches with the calculator built right in.

When I go to China one day Im heading straight for one of those side alley clothes stores so I can buy Ryan (literally me) Gosling’s scorpion jacket for $10 instead of the $100+ you have to pay in the west for a wanky real version.
sells fake shit
Anything that screws over “Intellectual Property” is good
yeah it’s real clothes buying metaverse stuff is buying fake shit
“I went to Paris and there were guys selling fake handbags, explain how europe claims to have high culture and prestige”
Love how he’s all ”what the fuck?” when he started the conversation with a racist comment and those two weren’t entirely polite with their response.
I’m sure if someone had told him “Israelis are disgusting” he’d be raging about antisemitism. Westoids can love to punch down, but they can’t take a hit back.
