Their entire identity is consumed by “not being American”. Whatever America is, they’ll get on the other side. What makes it worse is that Americans are only dimly aware they exist. Here’s an interesting video that does a good run-down on the topic.

More offensive was in the same photo portraying Obama as Tigger. I mean, come on, is that subtle?

Because there was this famous photo of Obama and Xi walking together. Some clever Chinese person put the photo on top, and a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together on the bottom, and it was a dead ringer for the pair. Of course, mocking the leadership is not allowed in China so the right-wing memer was deplatformed and the graphic banned from circulation. Thus the libs think they’re tweaking China’s nose with the Winnie the Pooh comparison.

repeated bad arguments

My arguments are good ones. I know what I’m talking about.

insult an entire culture’s use of a writing system

??? Where did I do this? Could you quote the offending sentence?

you finally admit you actually have no idea what you’re talking about

??? I’m the one who knows what he’s talking about here. I’ve studied both languages. Nobody calls Chinese characters kanji. That’s a completely different set of characters. Most Chinese people can’t read them.

while asking for a favor

Here’s a review of a Chinese dictionary that touches on the points I made about Japanese.

OK now I’m curious. Can you link one of these dictionaries which states that Chinese characters are called kanji? I’d like to show some friends.

I used to make cinnamon toothpicks and sell 'em to kids. 10 cents each or three for a quarter. But it was a different age then. Probably some kid has waffle allergies or something and will die if waffles are cooked in the same building.

Yeah. Being handsome doesn’t hurt, but it’s not really what women are attracted to.

PNAC urges war in 1996: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3249.htm

“That strategy should aim, above all, at the removal of Saddam Hussein’s regime from power. We stand ready to offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor.”

Yeah, there were a lot of false “bin Laden is dead” stories back then. Hard to tell how many of them were disinformation, how many were CIA ops, and how many were just journalists printing whatever they heard without verification.
