Comment on The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry?

I don’t care if China steals my data or uses my router as a vector for a DOS attack at this point. My fascist nation already has domestic back doors to spy on me if I was interesting enough. My opinion of China is roughly the same as my opinion of my own red white and blue shithole, about as low as you can go.

Besides, we destroyed ourselves already. Checkmate CCP! Have fun spying on the ash heap.

In a fucked up way I lol’d at this. If I put on my tinfoil hat I’d say the USA is encouraging China to “spy” on us so they have to absorb the brainrot. Poor bastards

Maybe China isn’t the bad guy. They have goals. Goals are good. We’re mainly into destruction and extracting capital. Wild thought, maybe we’ve never been the good guys. :o

  I don’t think goals are inherently good… Hitler had goals…

    I believe you’re referencing Hitler to the incorrect country. China’s moving towards socialism, very slowly. The US is going straight fash at the speed of light.

    I wasn’t meaning to criticise any particular country, I just meant that goals aren’t inherently a good thing.
    
    Regarding China and the US, I think both countries have a lot to offer, and there will be decent people from each country, but I don’t think I’m a fan of the current government of either country.

    I think is more a generalization about the praise of “goals” rather than associating him with anyone in particular.
    
    Ultimately all the major powers are being graded on a curve and are generally only “good” when compared to some more evil major player. The US may be slipping to be worse than China, but China would still be worse than a number of European nations.

    No I haven’t, in fact I think I only know one song by them… good song though (Jobseeker). I should probably check out more of their stuff.
    
    I just chose this username because I was trying to think of something randomly and it popped into my head.
