If I pirate Photoshop, Adobe could come for me if they really wanted to. Canada doesn't care about piracy, you don't need to use a VPN here, but if the American company Adobe really wanted at me, Canada would not stop them.

If I pirated some Chinese software ~~there~~ their government couldn't do shit to me.

You know geohot, the guy sued by Sony for hacking the ps3? He was American, but that doesn't change much. If he was Canadian, he would've been fucked just the same. Now if I hacked a Chinese console to enable piracy, literally nothing would happen to me.

If I made a threat on the Presidents life, I would be watched and potentially have American feds knocking on my door. If I threatened China, I would get upvotes and people would laugh.

You're not really understanding what I'm saying. I'm assuming you're American? The country where pretty much every massive company operates from? Well, the rest of the world hates that nearly everything we do is funneled back into the US.

Use Windows? MacOS? Android? iOS? Gmail? Outlook? Yahoo? Microsoft Office? Facebook? Instagram? Reddit?.. the list goes on.

Now imagine if 95% of your data was funneled into a different country. I'm sure you'd hate it. Especially with the state of American politics right now. Your country is dangerous.

I'm not American, I'm Canadian, and I never said that I'm cool with their government's recent developments, but that doesn't mean the Chinese government collecting and using your data to push it's agenda on foreign citizens is better, that's absolutely insane.

And your argument is that you want to freely and openly hack proprietary software and make threats on the US president's life? Lol what the fuck.

Please tell me where China is pushing their agenda on me? My TikTok is full of American and Canadian creators, talking about technology, science, animals, and comedy. Also a bit of food.

That's also not my argument, but congrats on missing the point.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, that's on you. I'm not having a back and forth about this any longer, I escaped Reddit because of that. You can go back there if you want to argue and mix words with others. I'm not having that.

When they kidnap your fucking neighbours and hold them for fucking extortion of your fucking state, that is China pushing their fucking agenda on you, for fucking fuck's sake.

When they religiously persecute CANADIAN CITIZENS in fucking CANADIAN TERRITORY, that's China pushing their agenda on you.

You're unhinged, cannot stay on topic, and your entire profile is trolling.

I am done responding to you for other users sake. They didn't come to lemmy to hear people argue back and forth.

Have a day.

Tanky can't keep feigning ignorance of all the bad shit china does and gives up lmaoooo. Go back to shilling for Pooh Bear on Reddit.

I mean they literally censor and ban creators for anything they deem to be anti-Chinese and then turn around and deny it ever happens, but sure, let's use your personal anecdotal evidence to make our opinions here.

Mix words? I took direct quotes from your comment lol. Glad you left Reddit because you weren't clear enough though I guess

Don't waste your time, the guy is a troll. Just look at the comment history.

[–] FireMyth@lemmy.one -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look at YOUR comment history across multiple platforms comrade

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah look at it and educate yourself so you don't sound like a clown in the future.
