China owns them. Doesn't mean everything they say is bullshit, but they can't be really trusted anymore.

- curiousgal 4y agoIs there a fallacy for throwing that fallacy around all the time?
- effingwewt 4y agoSure we can call it the 'curiousgal Fallacy'. Let me explain my downvote here. You are not wrong, and as an american it is infuriating to see what our country has become. But that makes his original point no less valid. China silenced the WHO and the WHO literally pretended their internet went out when asked about Taiwan. Both sides having done something fucked up doesn't negate what's going on in this situation, thus the 'both sides-ism' If it did all arguments would be over instantly, as only babies are innocent. There are degrees of fucked up and context matters.
