    Can you point to where I called them equal?

    And I’ll just say this again:

    You don’t have to be on the side of one state to oppose another state.

      Well, since we exist in the real world. Tell me. What’s the most likely scenario if China splits up into however many entities you think would be enough to achieve decolonization? I already know it’s a policy of the US government to support this. So, who would benefit the most from that?

          Then what is your position? If you’re in the global North, then what’s the point of constantly pointing out that both sides are bad when you agree that one side is worse?

          It’s like the communists writing letters to Iranian prisoners coinciding with Iran getting invaded. Why now? Why is this your priority?

            My position on what? Politics is a mess of interconnected pieces. I’m an anarchist and I distrust states, especially ones that have proven themselves untrustworthy. I agree that tearing down one superpower risks a huge and awful domino effect, but i dont have the depth of global politics knowledge to come up with some kind of large scale plan - and even if i did, then what? What would my plan matter without any support from basically anyone.

            You act like me pointing out why people think you insulted them somehow means my priority is opposing China. What I oppose (in this instance! Because it seemed to be what you were implying!) is people who believe China can do no wrong because they oppose the USA. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” only works on a temporary and situational basis with a large amount of skepticism.

              Okay, I do oppose people who think China can do no wrong as well, I’m just used to interacting with users who conceal their support for actually balkanizing China with a mask of anti-colonialism.

              Sorry. My shields were up.
