You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

    all the colonialist projects China is doing in Africa

    Westerners love changing the meaning of words like “colonialism” so that they can use it to attack their enemies, as if their new definition still holds all the moral wait that it did when it was properly applied. Honestly, calling China’s relationship with Africa a “colonialist project” is a fucking disgusting insult to all the people who suffered under actual, real colonialism perpetrated by Western nations.

    I would absolutely not say that “China is focusing on itself”

    No, there isn’t, you absolute ghoul.

      What you’re saying suggests that France’s current behaviour is not colonialist. What are your thoughts on that?

          Haha, everyone is a fascist now?

          Yeah, the French colonies, such as French Guyana, are not okay. But neither are the things France is doing to many of the countries that used to be France’s formal colonies. Even though those countries are not colonies of France, what France is doing to them is colonialism all the same. Or do you disagree?

          Also, calling me “dumb” was impolite of you, even though factually correct. Calling me a fascist was outright weird.

            No, just colonialism defending ultranationalist white chauvinists like you.

            Yeah, the French colonies, such as French Guyana, are not okay

            Great, conversation over, not reading the rest of your comment now that you’ve admitted your previous one was spurious.
