>And obviously China is a global parasite.
Britain said the same things about the US in the early days. We told them to f* off about copyright/patent stuff quite often.
- WillAdams 1y agoBritain was also putting into place laws/regulations/policies requiring that the U.S. purchase from British manufacturers rather than developing native production --- there's a reason why the first printing press in North America was in Mexico.
- izacus 1y agoWhich is pretty much what patent law ends up being right? The patent holder telling the licensee the conditions.
- martin-t 1y agoCopyright/patents/laws are just tools. They can be used for both good and evil. The early US had pro-social goals such as democracy or freedom. And yes, they used slaves because there are no good guys in history or politics, there's various shades of bad. Current China has anti-social goals such as total control of the population through technological means and expansion by conquest - see them harassing the legitimate government of all of Chine in Taiwan constantly with the military or trying to sink Philipino fishing boats with their warships (two crashed into each other recently). It is also currently committing genocide through both murder and sterilization. So yeah, I am totally for considering them a parasite and treating them as such.
