Summary

A Canadian warship passed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, prompting China to condemn the move as provocative and destabilizing.

Chinese military forces have been deployed to counter the perceived threat.

The passage follows recent crossings by two US vessels, with Taiwan’s defense ministry asserting that the strait remains international waters and a symbol of regional openness.

What part of that statement gave you any clue as to what their political leanings are?

mathemachristian@lemm.ee on 17 Feb 13:23 collapse

their bloodthirstiness, however them using “pooh” to talk about xi jinping further narrows it down to most likely dem-leaning lib.

mathemachristian tries not to gargle authoritarian nuts (impossible challenge)

Hey now, maybe he just really loves billionairs and wants them to have tax breaks even if it means a bunch of clowns run his country into the ground.

Are there any female authoritarian leaders? I can’t think of any current ones, so it may be simply descriptive instead of sexist/homophobic.

mathemachristian@lemm.ee on 17 Feb 16:45 collapse

The fact that you use “to gargle balls” as an insult, suggesting it is a demeaning act is homophobic and sexist

IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works on 17 Feb 17:00 next collapse

I didn’t use it at all. I just pointed out that it’s only sexist/homophobic if other arrangements are given a pass, while the male-male arrangement is used in a pejorative manner. (On an unrelated note, it’s a fun fact that we can now safety assume that you are a male. I’m curious what the male: female ratio is among tankies). If anything, it’s the s+m community that should be offended, since the phrase implies that being the sexually submissive partner is inherently bad.

mathemachristian@lemm.ee on 17 Feb 19:39 collapse

My point is using “gargling balls” as an insult implies its a demeaning act. It follows that (hetero) women and gay men are demeaned by it or that they at least should be ashamed of it. Performing oral sex has long been coded (and used) as showing dominance, with the person performing the act submitting to the domination of the person they are performing it on. To the point that men performing oral sex on women would be seen as effeminate and therefore lesser. This is being used in a s&m context sure, but my point is that it’s mainly used to enforce the patriarchy, where women and gay men are seen as lesser.

Edit as to the male:female ratio hexbear did a poll a while back: chapo.chat/post/3635039

holy shit dude what doesn’t offend you?

and the fact that you have nothing negative to say about authoritarians shows enough where your bitch ass stands.

absolute clown.

Man, did you somehow manage to skip the “Western Culture” class during your re-education? Not a single part of that statement makes any sense.

mathemachristian@lemm.ee on 17 Feb 19:47 collapse

I’m really intrigued by this, re-education from what? What education do you think I had that I then got re-educated from and why would “western culture” be a part of it?

Edit: Also how did I get into this re-education? Was I forced or did I voluntarily sign up? Please paint me a picture here I’m fascinated by this
