    That’s quite ironic coming from the USA! Did the patriot act got amended recently or is this sheer hypocrisy?

      Ahh, “but what about”. Not “That’s not true, here’s proof”. Interesting approach, even if ineffective.

        What the fuck?! This shit with tiltok is one of the ugliest imperialist shit the USA pulled this century, dropping the rule of trade to the full on empire mode, and you’re talking here about whataboutism?

        We have a country literally stealing a company because it’s profitable and can spread influence! And you’re here like “China bad”?

        Is this the strategy? Anytime something bad from the US comes up you deflect for it to be about China I guess?

          Oh boy, you think this is the worst thing America has done, even this week? Now I don’t know if I should tell you about the rest…
