This comment is an absolutely perfect example of Brandolini's Law [1]:
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
One sentence of the same tired myopic cynical trolling bullshit causes 20 responses and paragraphs of explanation to try and refute. Absolutely perfect.

- dimask 3y agoPartly yes, I mean my effort was just to search for a link about the subject to something that seems reputable enough to share. On the other hand, I just stated a fact. If by "explanation to try and refute" you mean just the story around china and geopolitics, it is not any high effort one. It is just repeating the same official story over and over. It does not change the fact of who is paying for it, as any sort of geopolitical justification for a war (or supporting a side in a war or supporting the continuation of a war) does not change the fact of who dies for it. Or who profits. Funny note: your comment being self-referential.
