  • I don’t know which thread you’re reading, but you’re not summarizing this thread. You’re having difficulty following apparently. Here’s the original post:

    “It’s funny just reading the headline… Experts warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it xD isn’t research in general just good” This was posted by lemmy user: @[email protected]

    I am summarising this thread. This, from what you quoted:

    warn that Chinese research is getting good? Like, is that a bad thing, or why do we have to be warned about it

    is precisely what I was referring to with

    • why is it bad that X country is doing better

    You’re right on this part. Your quote there, and my quote in prior posts which match that, are the answer to that original poster.

    …and then you proceeded to convey the same sentiment in the discussion:

    the decline of USA’s science research indicates a problem in the USA. That is a problem, wouldn’t you agree?

    The strawman I am talking to does not realise that they are being parochial and continues to argue instead of correcting their behaviour.







  • Dubious is your opinion on any subject.

    Whatever your reason for saying that is, there is nothing I could possibly reply with that would make you consider any perspective I have to offer. Yet, here I go.

    Al menos hablas español? O sos un chanchito del hemisferio norte jugando a revolucionario?

    I understand Spanish to some degree because I have family in Colombia, but I suck at using it. I could trivially use a translation tool to help me compose a witty response, but that would change nothing.

    5 M expatriates were held out of the ellection. Even with put the tallies, the ellection is a complete farse…

    The fact that this is besides the point is the very point I’m making: stay. the. fuck. out. of. other. countries’. internal. politics. It’s really quite simple. Unless you are an imperialist, obviously.
