Chinese fans angry at Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey for supporting Hong Kong

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

The NBA could resolve this if they make 1 call for a favor

Spoiler

Now I ain’t saying you make the call, but it would make some sort of impact

Brehs this video is crazy.

Wish he woulda kept going. Everyone in a huff about the NBA's response to this needs to keep that same energy with every company that does business with Saudi Arabia and Israel as well.

China generates $4 billion in revenue for the NBA. More people in China watched the NBA Finals than in the US. That definitely plays a significant part of NBA salaries rising. I guarantee the vast majority of NBA players do not want to give any of that back.

You all should watch these videos

 

[FaTaL]

It’s still going on?

..did you read the series of tweets after that at all? How is comparing China to Nazi Germany out of the question? They're two nations built by humans aren't they?




Ask the vietnamese, phillipine, malaysian, Indonesian, Taiwanese, etc militaries how they feel about China stealing resources out of sea they are legally control, and having bases built in them. This isn't like what the US or Russia at all, they pay
countries to host their bases and they even boost the local economies. China literally just built islands in the middle of a sea, killing entire coral reefs which are already decimated by climate change, and is STEALING money and resources in the long run from their neighbors







There is no country on Earth buying up as much overseas property as the Chinese breh.






..there is video of these camps and Uyghur testimonies . How big they are is another question, but undoubtibly they exist, and people are being imprisoned for not sucking Xi off.






Every government in the entire world has their hands in some fukk shyt breh, fact of life. Everywhere there is power, it's at someone expense. Sad fact, the sooner you realize, the better.

But then again you're defending a country that literally banned winnie the pooh from their internet because people say they look like their Dictator for life









People don't want to be part of a Communist dictatorship and I support that . People want the ability to say and do what they want within reason.




This the first time Ive seen someone admit to living by the strawhat argument method lmfao. You'd get laughed out most peoples rooms breh

A vice reporter literally made a video walking outside the camp

So the National Socialist German Workers' Party was socialist because... It had Socialist in its name.

Yeah, that was my argument.

Who are you even targeting with this deflection?

Or... We just don't go along with HL smart dumb babble?

"Smart dumb babble" is attacking someone for calling causally referring to China as communist when China is entirely run by the Communist Party of Mao, which is still part of all the same Communist allegiances it always has been, is still seen as a central part of the communist world, when the entire party up through its leaders and intellectuals strongly affirms their communism, and when the degree of China's commitment to communism is still discussed at the highest levels by international China experts.

"Smart dumb babble" was a phrase basically invented for that kinda silliness.

Killed him on every one of those issues, but this is the part where he straight admitted that he can't be taken seriously. The conversation is about China, not the USA. If he admits that he is only reacting based on his feelings about the USA (which may well be correct in their own conversation) then he's admitting that he can't be taken seriously or accurately on the actual issue being discussed.

Facts. You can't take these cats seriously. Didn't their precious South Park have an episode mocking Kap's movement?

Wait, you're claiming that South Park is a special outlet for "fake woke cats" and you expect people to take you seriously?

The same South Park that mocked Al Gore and climate change for a decade and has making fun of trans people as one of their longest running jokes? The same South Park that constantly mocks the pc movement and liberals? They're two rural White guys from Colorado, if it wasn't for the fact that they aren't religious they'd be seen as regressive as fukk.

 

[ALonelyDad]

So no Lakers vs Nets tmmrw?

 

[Da_Eggman]

To need to call in Starbury to mend this

Learn to deduce. lol.

Ask the vietnamese, phillipine, malaysian, Indonesian, Taiwanese, etc militaries how they feel about China stealing resources out of sea they are legally control, and having bases built in them.

Now ask Central America, the Caribbean(especially Haiti) and South America how they feel about American meddling. I can go on.

This isn't like what the US or Russia at all, they pay

lol!

countries to host their bases and they even boost the local economies. China literally just built islands in the middle of a sea, killing entire coral reefs which are already decimated by climate change, and is STEALING money and resources in the long run from their neighbors

And America doesn't do the same? Like I said a bunch of "wah! wah! The Chinaman is getting too powerful what do we do Uncle Sam!?" shyt... Like I said yall expected China to be contained to just China? The Chinese clearly wants the pacific ocean as their Caribbean similar to the USA.

There is no country on Earth buying up as much overseas property as the Chinese breh.

lol....

..there is video of these camps and Uyghur testimonies . How big they are is another question, but undoubtibly they exist, and people are being imprisoned for not sucking Xi off.

You mean that Vice video? Yes, I already seen it and there was no concrete evidence for 1 million Uighurs being locked up. No UN report. Are Uighurs getting locked up? Of course. 1 million? I need to see some solid primary sources.

Every government in the entire world has their hands in some fukk shyt breh, fact of life. Everywhere there is power, it's at someone expense. Sad fact, the sooner you realize, the better.

Yes its a sad fact YET you's are acting like its only China which is my main point. Like WTF?

But then again you're defending a country that literally banned winnie the pooh from their internet because people say they look like their Dictator for life

Not necessarily defending China but pointing out USA hypcrisy and your covert defending of USA hegemony like Napoleon.

People don't want to be part of a Communist dictatorship and I support that . People want the ability to say and do what they want within reason.

Cool.

This the first time Ive seen someone admit to living by the strawhat argument method lmfao. You'd get laughed out most peoples rooms breh

By who? By people who are scared of USA being challenged while ignoring the many examples of USA's oppressing domestically and internationally? Cool.

Again did South Park not mock Kap's movement? "Buh...Buh... They also made fun of liberals!"

China can fukk off!

For a country that controlled the narrative so well for the last 20 years, they have screwed up this hong kong thing on a massive scale. Every single time they open their mouths on something they could have ignored they further alienate themselves from the global community. Harmless tweet they could of been ignored! Has now turned into another narrative spinning out of control for China.

 

[---]

China's market isn't going anywhere companies need to understand that they don't need to bow down to China. Like 300 million fans are going to stop watching utter ridiculous.

No matter what the state says, they don't have control of a huge sections of culture. China has black markets everywhere. NBA needs to hold the line and if China does follow through would have a bigger black market than the Chinese Banks.

NBA should tell China, be mad and run ads to the Chinese population outside of China widen the hell of the black market on content!

 

[Professor Emeritus]

lol...

Again did South Park not mock Kap's movement? "Buh...Buh... They also made fun of liberals!"

Yes, that was one of a long line of instances where they made fun of liberals. It's their M.O. What about that do you not understand?

The part where you were being dumb was when you claimed that was the fake woke show when they've always explicitly made fun of the woke crew. What are you even trying to prove?

Goddamn, this thread was actually about the issues in Hong Kong before y'all came in and tried to whataboutism a giant dump all over it.


And this is how bad the idiot far-right source you posted is:


The Duran

History

Founded in 2016, The Duran is a strongly right leaning news and opinion website with ties to Russian state media. Based in Cyprus, the editor of the website is Alexander Mercouris, who in 2012 was disbarred as an attorney in London. According to the Telegraph, he then went on to become a “pro-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV news outlets and websites.”

The Duran’s director is Peter Lavelle, who is host of RT’s (Russian state news outlet) political debate program CrossTalk.

In 2018, the right leaning Weekly Standard accused The Duran of peddling Russian “Fake News.”

The website does not provide an about page, mission statement, funding or obvious ownership information.

Funded by / Ownership

The Duran is owned by the Cyprus based DRN Media PLC. Moscow native Alex Christoforou is the President and Chairman of DRN Media PLC. Funding for The Duran comes from Paypal and Patreon donations, as well as advertising.

Analysis / Bias
In review, The Duran publishes news and opinions with a conservative and pro-Russian perspective, such as this: Roger Stone Shines New Light on Russia-Gate Hoax. This story is copied and pasted directly from the pro-Russian Strategic Culture Foundation. In general, all articles involving Russia are positively slanted such as these: Russia Grinds Out Wins In Europe and Trump boxed in on Iran, as Putin holds key to prevent war in Persian Gulf (Video). Many articles are poorly sourced to Russian Propaganda outlets such as RT and Sputnik.

When covering the USA, the Duran demonstrates a conservative bias with frequent articles denigrating the left such as this: Rudy Giuliani DESTROYS Hillary Clinton, “America’s Number One Crime Family” (Video) and this story promoting a conspiracy theory, NXIVM Sex-Cult Prosecutors Have Evidence Of Illegal Clinton Campaign Contributions For “Political Influence”. This latter story is copied and pasted from the right wing conspiracy website Zerohedge.

In general, The Duran routinely publishes pro-Russian propaganda and promotes right wing conspiracies through the use of poorly sourced, plagiarized news articles.

Overall, we rate The Duran a Questionable source based on far right wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and right wing conspiracies, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources and plagiarism. (D. Van Zandt 11/30/2016) Updated (5/23/2019)

Overall, we rate The Duran a Questionable source based on far right wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and right wing conspiracies, a lack of transparency, use of poor sources and plagiarism.


THAT is who you get your information from about geopolitics? A literal Russian mouthpiece for the far right?
