  • Even a conservative thinker argued before that people don’t just go to where there are “free stuff”, most people still value rule of law and freedom. Only few, if ever, risked their lives crossing the Caribbean to go to America not to Cuba, the latter which has free healthcare. Now that I think about it, African refugees fleeing post-colonial strife did not go to either Eastern Europe or USSR during the Cold war, they went to Europe and North America instead.















  • Tankies unironically say that US attacking Iran is US starving Philippines because the latter has no oil reserves to draw upon because of oil shipment being restricted in Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, they spin China literally driving away Vietnamese and Philippine fishermen from their livelihood by being waterhosed by the Chinese Navy as “international dispute that would be resolved diplomatically.” I haven’t seen such obvious PR answer since arguing with tankies in Reddit.
