    Congratulations, you’re noticing that we’re in a trade war and most discussions around China and the US are about serving their respective ruling classes.

      I know that, did you have to say that in a condescending way?

        I wasn’t being condescending.

        Maybe you want to work on your insecurity?

            Nah. Just for the first time.

            But good job fitting in with everyone else! You are average.

          The clearly implied meaning of using “Congratulations” in your post is to convey an ironic sense of surprise at something that isn’t surprising or new, and that most other people (or at least you) have known for a long time.

          Why would you use “Congratulations” in this context for any other purpose than condescension?

          I mean I don’t even care that much but I don’t get why you are denying it?

            No, it really isn’t “clearly implied” and you are just highlighting your own insecurity by thinking otherwise.

            I was literally agreeing with you, but your insecurity is stopping you from realizing that.

            Seek help, or just take a break from these forums. You’re clearly spending too much time here.

              Do you genuinely think if I did have serious problems that this kind of attitude and response would do anything other than make me feel more shame and make it less likely I would get help?

                I genuinely think you spend too much time on these forums and need to take a break.

                It’s bad for your mental health.
