    You lost the argument the moment you called people racists and Nazis.

    And you still don't get it and will probably eternally defend your position, but the people who blast others for what they say and think literally are the Nazis, Cubans, Russians, Muslims, Antifa, most liberals, and of course, your beloved China.

    As my dad used to say, you are the company that you keep.

    You continue with the habit of making that claim, but not backing it up.

    That's not arguing that it is. Hence it remains a lame personal attack.

    I’m not at arguing...I’m just making an observation on your post.

    You are the one that went around projecting and calling everyone racist and a national socialist

    You are not the arbiter of truth and your moral judgement is of no concern of ours. Your values are not our values.

    The Chinese government is reprehensible and is a legitimate threat to the Western world. They are engaging in a genocide that will eradicate a minority population in their country as we speak. They are destroying independence, freedom and Democracy in Hong Kong as we speak. They are threatening to do the same in Taiwan as we speak. They are colonizing Africa as we speak. They are buying up Western media organizations as we speak. They are implementing 24/7 monitoring of their own citizens and enforcing a social credit score system on them as we speak. If Chinese hegemony should occur in the future, all of your freedoms will be stripped from you. This is what you are defending while claiming moral superiority in doing so. We reject your moral superiority and suggest that you are merely parroting the talking points of a small cabal of globalist elites who don't give a damn about human rights.

    You run around calling people Nazis over a word that even CNN used dozens of times, maybe even hundreds. But when your behavior is held in comparison, you run to dad.

    I don't bow down to political correctness and I'm not told what to think or say by politically correct people. China calls the china virus the American flu/virus, and I haven't heard one word from the left calling them racists. Cuomo called it the European virus and I haven't heard one word from the left calling him a racist and there was certainly no violence committed against European Americans.

    Making matters worse for you, the term China virus/Wuhan virus was declared by the left to be racist only after someone got WHO to change the name, up until that point the terms were not racist. It's funny how the term wasn't originally racist, but only became racist after China and the Chinese president's wife who works for WHO decided they didn't want the stigma of infecting the entire world with their china virus.

    And I'm wondering if I should report you for a rules violation the same way you reported me.

    Trump was not in competition with, not negotiating with, did not need to drum up support against, on Nile, Spain, or Hong Kong.

    It's not 'racist' per se, but when it's clear Trump is doing it to disparage China, given that he is in competition with China on the world stage, he's trying to deflect criticism of his own mediocre pandemic policies to blaming it on China, then it most certainly is racist. As for extremes, racism has a spectrum, from mild to extreme, and just because it's not as extreme as the kind of racism done by the KKK, does not mean it's not racist, either.

    And it is clear that he is doing that, just as he calls Sen Warren 'Pocahontas', the two acts are the siblings whereby both are done to disparage.

    It is the China virus, it is accurate and appropriate to call it such. Nothing racist about it whatsoever.

    Personal attacks? You call us racists and Nazis and then run to the mods when your behavior is compared to the very insults you're using against us.

    The chinavirus is a name, or even a nickname. When I say chinavirus you and the rest of the world know exactly what I'm talking about. Think of all the names the left calls Trump, his family and supporters, and to that I say welcome to the china virus. And if news orgs stopped using the name, so what? it was CNN who originally coined the phrase and it stuck. and as we know from past history, if anyone ever said something in the past that was racist, even if it wasn't considered racist at the time, the left still considers them to be racist and I've already given you examples of such.

    For the time being you're just going to have to put on your big (insert preferred gender here) pants and suck it up, because it ain't changing any time soon.

    Rebuke what? Your opinion that makes no sense? China is a place, it's a place where this virus came from. It has nothing to do with individual people.
