This is a server forum, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it has to do with following the rules. Freedom of speech was created so people had the right to speak up against their leader

You should at least learn to blend with the Chinese Tunabros. Only you have the power to save yourself. Knowledge and skill is powerful. You could even change Chinese culture to be more hospitable within through gentle and subtle measures. Who knows you could make a good life for yourself. An ant that bites a man does so in ignorance and desperation. Devoid of even knowing what a man is.

Take it from someone who understands adversity and not being in the dominant or powerful position. It sure feels good to rear your mandibles, roar, and be a powerful ant. But it just makes you a simple ant.

Humans have the capacity to be greater than what we were born into or given.

But seriously Idk if your trolling or truly believe what you are saying, but i can 100% guarantee you, trump has never thought about Taiwan for 1 millisecond. Never, not once. All his ambitions are about himself, only and always

Xi sat Trump down in private with a bunch of scowling generals on our side (not at Xi, at Trump). And I don't think the fancy silver ware was laid out for use, just show. Trump went to China for this rebuke, sat at Xi's table (when does he even do that, Mar-a-lago is his jam). Does he even like or eat Chinese food? Vassals go to their masters, not the other way around. They didn't come here to sue for peace. They made him go there to receive an ultimatum.

Things were quiet for a good 6 months. Then Covid. Mattis quit or resigned. Then Choas. The U.S. economy has suffered more than the Chinese. While the Chinese government has been really patient with us screaming "china virus ".

I honestly think we lost a new kind of war to China under Trumps presidency with zero shots fired. China took way less damage. And the terms were that we'd play ball.

Meanwhile the last 4 years China has seen massive investment and research and development. Most of the rich people driving Americas economy now hold major capital, assets, influence in China and aren't really dependent on even being American citizens or beholden to American interests, except that we buy the cheep stuff they produce cheeply through China. We're convenient. Lookit Disney lol. It's a Chinese company. It's cheep and profitable to do research and massive construction or industrial projects in China now. America further lost that edge under Trump. Our expertise and skill is no longer exceptional or unique, and a large project here could be burned down in a few years by angry mobs. China does not have this problem. Really. On any meaningful scale. Our colleges and educational institutions just spent the last four years being attacked or privatized in favor of private religious institutions. We took a heavy blow to our collective ability to reason and produce intelligent, clever, artful, skillful citizens.

You can't expect America to save you. Not even Trump can. Or would at his expense.

It's been gg for a long time. Old greybeards are just super slow at catching up. We have lost badly.
