US is literally building their own bases there. That's the definition of being colonized. You're just happy they're getting colonized by the right people because you're racist.

Where are they building their bases in Finland or Sweden?

You deduce that I’m racist based on one single post that indicates that they may want to avoid future attacks from Russia?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There was no potential for any attacks from Russia, and no reason for Russia to attack these countries. So yes, your premise of Asiatic hordes invading Europe further underscores my point.

Just like Georgia, Ukraine and now Moldova I guess... Also Russia is slavic, not asian. It's also pretty racist to lump all of Asia as one culture or ethnicity.

Asia was never brought up in the conversation. Unsure why you feel the need to misrepresent my words.

Those articles are archaic. Very strange to assume that everyone will have seen those and then use them as a vehicle of attack.

So every China hater has watched Fu Manchu to preach racist stereotypes about Chinese and Asians? Because most of the racist jokes related to Chinese people in society are sourced from there.

Never seen it but think it came out in the 90s?

Not sure what you’re trying to say.

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It came out in the early 20th century and is well known to those concerned. Your claim above that everyone needs to know the exact source of a particular racist narrative (Asiatic hordes here, for example) to perpetuate it in society is a falsehood. Society can carry these diseased narratives amongst themselves over years, decades and centuries.

It’s still unclear what you’re accusing me of.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Ah yes, article from 2018 is archaic. 🤡
