Is it normal to refer to Taiwanese RAM manufacturers as "Western"?
I'm glad they distinguish it from China obviously, but calling G.Skill and MSI Western feels kinda weird.
They do so because while the manufacturing is taking place in Taiwan, the blueprints are not.
It's why we call iPhone american phones. Despite them being manufactured in China
Sort of the joke in the modern US attitude towards Taiwan. They see a break-away province and have no actual respect for their sovereignty. Independent small nations are just colonies-up-for-grabs in the eyes of the US State Department.
Found the Tankie.
tankie is when anti-imperialist i guess

that "tankie" would be right, it's irredentism in ukraine's case, which is also bad
So your argument is Russia trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is imperialism. But China trying to take over a democratic nation created in the 20th century is not…
😂
taiwan is just a breakaway province with its own government. even they think they're china, just look at their name.
the republic of china (taiwan) is recognized by almost nobody, while ukraine is a universally recognized sovereign state.
and i never said russia attacking ukraine is imperialism, i said it's irredentism.
you really have a surface-level intelligence don't you..
You should get a medal for those mental gymnastics!! 🤸
this is a great response when you aren't able to address what's being said, same with the other guy
What’s being said has no basis in logic or reason.
Debating a fanatic is a waste of time. Nazis, racists and tankies only deserve ridicule and ostracism.
another great response when you aren't able to address what's being said
Cool story tankie.
sure thing. what pejorative will u come up with next to distract from the fact that you can't address what i'm saying?
No, Tankie is appropriate, you haven’t shown any other traits that deserve a pejorative... But I’m sure you will.
I’m not going to respond with an argument because you’ve laid out your argument and it’s not logical, and it’s not based on reason. One democratic nation founded in the 20th century existing and is ok while another is wrong. Use all the racial or jingoistic justification you want it’s still not logical.
No logic, no reason just one brand of nationalism justified in your mind… And at this point with how fast you respond, I get the feeling you’re probably a paid shill or you have a lot of time on your hands. I post as an unpaid amateur, sorry I just don’t have the time in my day.
there's no such thing as a nation of taiwan, or the republic of china, in the eyes of the international law. that's what matters.
your "democratic nation" doesn't exist in the eyes of almost the entire world.
the only difference between taiwan and china is that china is a communist country and the government in taiwan is a capitalist vassal state of the united states. the culture is the same, the language is the same, the history is the same (except for after 1949 when kuomintang started ruling taiwan under a dictatorship under martial law, which was later followed by liberal democracy as late as 1987
the only reason people want taiwan to be a separate country is because it's pro-western and capitalist. there's no real logical argument to be had for its independence. it's just people being scared of big scary china and want it to be balkanized as much as possible to not threaten the western hegemony. the independence movement makes as much sense as like idk, a zhejiang independence movement (if the region was ruled by capitalists).
Once again Tankie you’ve made my case for me, if you’re an unpaid shill you have my sympathy.
made what case? do i really have to specifically state that i don't get paid for random comments on an irrelevant platform?
do you actually think governments would hire people to debate on platforms pretty much nobody is using, when they can just deploy a shit ton of llm bots on reddit (which they do btw). like this idea is incredibly stupid.
now that i've addressed what you wanted, respond to my points, please.
I’m glad you seem proud of it, the picture you chose of Dukakis is chefs kiss.
Well, they are to the west of the west...so...😁
don't look what the government in taiwan calls themselves
Eastern China or westernmost state of the USA? You decide!
Yes, they chose to put themselves, economically and politically, within the western sphere of influence. It is not geographic. Weirdness is from your ignorance of geopolitics.
