        plunge your country into war and ruin by invading a neighbor who’s population is largely indistinguishable from you.

        America couldn’t stomach an occupation of a place on the other side of the world where the people were so foreign they might as well have been aliens. how will they stomach violence in the streets? whether from Insurgents from Canada, or their own people who rightfully decided to revolt against a terrorist regime.

        Its hard to tell if this is blowhard theatre, or an actual threat. but make no mistake, attacking Canada means Civil War in America. its a red line.

          I wouldn’t hold my hopes up. America is slipping into Autotitauanism and nobody’s sees that as a reason to rise arms about it.

        .ml Tankie: “ThATs RaCiSt even though it’s not about Chinese people as a whole but Xi specifically and it started in China on Weibo by Chinese users before it got censored I mean totally not censored BUT BUT ITS STILL RACIST”

      Whataboutism

      But anyway, the official stance of even the US government has for decades been that Taiwan is part of China

        Referring to him as “Winnie the Pooh” has never had anything to do with race, hence why no one uses it to refer to any other Chinese person.

                The only thing more to it is that Xi tried to have it scrubbed and censored, so now it’s also used to mock the dude for being a tyrannical asshat. Hittin’ that Streisand Effect.

                The fact that Xi Streisand-ed it hell and back.

                The same way calling Bibi a murderer isn’t antisemitic calling Xi Winnie is not racist.

                Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

                  This doesn’t make any sense.

                  I’ve heard from quite a few ranking Democrats that calling Bibi a murder is antisemitic.

                  Government leaders are not a protected class/race, sorry.

                  Why do westerners insist in finding excuses to inject racist caricatures into a discussion about civil rights? I simply don’t understand why shouting “Look at Netanyahu, the greedy hook-nosed jew holding a bag of gold!” benefits anyone in any way. It just seems like 4chan levels of racism-for-racism’s-sake.

                  Are all liberals this desperate to spew slurs or is it just the terminally online ones?

                    You don’t know the Streisand effect? Look it up. The meme started as a joke on a Chinese forum and spread on its own, then Xi started forbidding its use, which riled people up popularizing the meme even more. It’s a clear case of the Streisand effect.

                    Don’t care what some Democrats do. I’m not American and my statement stands.

                    It’s not racist tho??? The Bibi reference you used explicitly calls him a Jew and uses a known Jew caricature, it’s completely different from a meme originating in China based on the low resblance both in posture and figure, nothing to do with skin colour.

                    Yeah no, this is clear bait. Have a good day.

                There wouldn’t have been if they didn’t make such a big deal about it. It would have been a funny picture we all forgot about by now.

                  A little bit of research indicates that this art was created for the meme, not the other way around.

        Liberals accidentally outing themselves as racist is always ridiculous to me. People think XI JINGPANG looks like Winnie the Pooh. Your implication that EVERY Chinese person does, and the underlying implication you’ve made that ALL Chinese people look the same is hilariously offensive. You should maybe do some self reflection here mate.

            Nah, the insistence that anything you don’t like is racist is a very intensely liberal quality to have, as is the accidentally bumbling it so hard that YOU end up behaving in a racist way.

            What do you want me to show you exactly? You’re the one implying that all Chinese people look enough like Winnie the Pooh that to depict xi jingpang as such is racist. You want me to… give you an example of your point?

              I saw that after asking. So why would putting a character in a group of depictions fit this piece of art? It could make sense if Trump was a Cheeto, etc, but here it seems like an attempt to depict Xi as more cartoonish or outlandish than these western leaders. Weird. Almost like there’s still a goal to depict him as less human. Huh.
