As I said, it doesn't matter the reasons, you're still supporting the status quo. It's not about your intentions, it's about the effects of your discourse. The fact is that China's model of international relations is better than US's and should be incentivized, the denial of this fact is the same as the support for the opposite affirmation.
This post is supporting change, a better alternative to what we currently have. Proposing change is a political process. The fact that the word politic has become demonized by liberals doesn't change that fact
That's copypasta, and it doesn't even fit in this circumstance, in spite of how much you want it to. How are the effects of my discourse supporting the status quo?
This post isn't supporting change, it's a meme criticising the US and painting China as perfect. A meme in a news community, no less. The comparison invites criticism, it's pretty hypocritical to cry when someone delivers it.
I literally said it, and I'll reapeat it: "The fact is that China’s model of international relations is better than US’s and should be incentivized, the denial of this fact is the same as the support for the opposite affirmation."
Without going into the quality of China's model of international relations, where did I deny that good international relations should be incentivised?
I like the Belt & Roads Initiative, even if it might also include military objectives. Further up I said that China was cooperating with nations to make this project happen. What I don't like is China's activity in the South China Sea. You have to completely ignore China's activity in this area to make the claim you're making.
Also that whole "if you aren't with us, you're against us" philosophy is pure bullshit.
