    China simps want China to fight the US so badly to make them feel like big boys who took the big boy side.

    Despite the fact that neither China nor the US want to fight.

    It’s funny, in a sad kind of way.

      Invading the Falklands absolutely trashed Argentina’s economy, and being offside with the UK continues to hurt them.

      Attempting to invade Taiwan would utterly destroy the Chinese economy, and I think they’re smart enough to know it.

        And don’t give them any benefits, TSMC most valuable asset is their employees not the machines, anyone can buy ASML machines, only TSMC employees can do it as good as they do

          AFAIK China isn’t allowed to buy loads of fancy ASML machines, however TSMC has said they have procedures to destroy those machines if there’s ever an invasion

          anyone can buy ASML machines

          I’d be very surprised if China was allowed to do this after invading Taiwan.

            A yes of course, but I was talking more about how AMD, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Samsung all have the best in the industry, but still no one can just buy ASML and make chips as good as TSMC

    Who wants to fight China?

    We just want to make money, it’s the most core American value.

    It’s the tankies on ML who wish China would export communism instead of practicing “capitalism with Chinese characteristics”

    America could wipe the floor with China and still have the capacity to fight Russia at the same time.

    It’s what our defense budget is for.

          I think tankies say some pretty stupid shit too, but you shouldn’t doxx people. I think the link to their presumed employer is a step too far.

          Also, being a “well-paid software engineer” and a Marxist is only contradictory if you don’t understand what Marxism is. Unless you are a part of the bourgeoisie (being well-paid is not the same thing), being a Marxist is a perfectly reasonable position to have.

          The real problem is that many of the “”“Marxists”“” on this site seem to be more interested in American Diabolism and doing apologia for a different set of genocides (the few that America opposes).

          Regardless, it’s bad to doxx people.

            thank you for calling them out

            Though I am curious about your thoughts on Marxism as every theory has many takes and interpretations. I’m of the opinion that simply having exuberant wealth is still exploitation, no matter how righteous you try to be with it.

              Maybe they mean engineers in general? Engineers tend to be over-represented in cults, because “Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons.”

            Lemmy doesn’t have protection no, but most routers and ISPs do.

            Regardless I’m deleting all mentions of this topic. Personal information and doxxing is not allowed at all, you will be perma’d if you try it

              Wait. What happened here? Did they use Lemmy available system info to effectively doxx someone? That needs to be communicated. I’m aware no where in the internet is private but if it’s a vector a chatter can quickly spool up that needs to be discussed (elsewhere, just seeking confirmation from you here)

              (I can take this to DMs with you if you like)

              Hey I didn’t dox someone getting a public IP just gives a vague area. I didn’t know the info provided by the other user was not publicly available.

              Lemmy doesn’t have protection no, but most routers and do.

              Actually not that much, they communicate with a IP towards the outside and you can get that public IP, wich gives a vague area (as in next bigger city usually) and no, most routers don’t have something like a killswitch that presents them from spilling the Private IP, that’s one reason VPNs exist.

              And the link was just a example of how it can look, If I wanted people to click on it I wouldn’t have said “it will track you”

    While I agree that China is our biggest actual threat in the world outside of a smaller rogue nation starting to lob nukes everywhere, China doesn’t have a great track record with trying to take on any Western powers for centuries now. Even when they tried to take on the west allied Japan it didn’t go so hot for them.

      China’s made the mistake of their massive population. They can’t handle an all-out war without many dying
