You can fuck China and also be happy that they have reduced air pollution

Yes I absolutely can, and curiously here I am saying Fuck China and some demographic on the fediverse is REALLY upset about that.

As someone who also doesn't like China: your original comment was off topic. That's why you're getting downvoted

I just stumbled upon this, but to me it looks like you're the one who's upset...?

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 1 week ago

For real, there is a time to get angry, and it is when an evil dictatorship spends billions to deal direct immediate harm to you.

[-] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I get what you're saying.

People on the fediverse tend to be upset about moronic comments that make no sense.
