Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion - Lemmy.film

What are they expecting to happen if they attack Taiwan? They’ll start the next world war. There isn’t a reality where the West is going to let them have it, regardless of how effective their “precision strikes” or suicidal their lunatics are.
I mean, isn’t this just the most schizophrenic framing. It’s Chinese soldiers who are lunatics for being patriotic but Americans are sane for threatening world war over a Chinese island on the other side of the world.
Suicide isn’t patriotic. And it isn’t a Chinese island; that’s the point. It’s a democratic, independent country that happens to be a US ally.

Suicide isn’t patriotic

Tell that to literally all the European and American soldiers who say they want to die for their country, and all the bumper stickers, and all the memorials, and all of the ceremonies, and all of the rhetoric, and all of the families, and and and… Or do you not consider it suicide when Euro-centric soldiers choose to enlist and committing to fight to their death?

And it isn’t a Chinese island; that’s the point

It’s literally populated by almost entirely Chinese people, Chinese people who genocided the native inhabitants. It is quite literally part of the same land mass and water ways just like Manhattan, Galveston, and the Florida Keys. In all ways except one, it is a Chinese island.

The one way that it is NOT a Chinese island is that when the losing fuedal-fascist White Army fled to the island, the imperial fascist British and Americans interceded to protect their imperial fascist interests by ensuring that the KMT was able to stay alive and that they would be further indebted to them. The KMT then proceeded to prosecute the ruthlessly brutal White Terror on the island while the North Atlantic imperial fascists maintained diplomatic and military relationships with the island as a way of holding on to their imperialist presence in China that they obtained through violence, occupation, and the forced selling of opium.

This is the ONLY definition of “Chinese” that Taiwan is not, specifically that it is not administered by the central government of the mainland. The former central governments all administered Taiwan prior to the civil war, but this particular central government was stopped by European interventionism to advance European interests.

You are grasping at straws in trying to construct a narrow moralistic narrative that smoothly eliminates all the parts of the narrative that would fly against your moral narrative. It’s not working. Reality is what it is.

Chinese soldiers can go ahead and be suicidal if it makes you feel better. wars aren’t won by dying for your country. it’s about making the other guy die for theirs. sounds like China got an army full of dead guys

Keep being an orientalist. US soldiers say the exact same thing. They are willing to die for their country. Sounds like the US has an army full of dead guys.

Keep being an orientalist.

wow racism much mate

That’s literally what I called you. Look up the term.
no. its a racist term. you can try and squirm all you want, but that lemmygrad idealism just fell away to reveal your nothing but an ill informed, ignorant racist. And you are somehow confident enough to publically display your sickening views. Good bye

You’re so ignorant it’s ridiculous. Calling you an orientalist is literally calling you a racist.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientalism_(book)

Orientalism (book) - Wikipedia

triples down on racsim.

lets see how that works out for ya champ

LOL, what is wrong with you? You can’t be this rabid, can you? I am accusing you of being an anti-Asian racist in the tradition of European anti-Asian racism known as Orientalism. And you call me racist for it. I just don’t know what to do with this. It’s a level of absurdity I did not expect from a human being that can read.

Congrats, you have shown me a new form of ignorance I have not yet encountered. Bravo.

you keep using that racist word in a completely racist and stupid way and now you start saying I am the racist one? where did you get your education because you make as much sense as someone who is terminally online and gets their thoughts direct from loonies on telegram

I feel like I’m talking to a child.

Listen very carefully. “Oriental” is a racist term used by “Orientalists”. I have been calling you racist since you first went on your “LALALALA CAN’T HEAR YOU” spree. I’m not suddenly calling you racist, I have ALWAYS been calling you racist. You think I’m racist for using the term “Orientalist” because you think it’s equivalent to the term “Oriental”. Read a fucking book, specifically just read the Wikipedia page about the book from 1978 called “Orientalism”, which is a book that details the anti-Asian racism called “Orientalism”.

Your multi-comment ignorant tantrum makes you look foolish and that it is you who are terminally online, living in your little bubble, and not only not learning about the world around you but literally resisting learning about the world around you.

yawn. that’s a lot of words for a racist. didn’t waste my time
