Cringe for using a quote from a childrens cartoon to describe a very real and nuanced reality
Double cringe for using the Ba Sing Se quote to describe China when the west is actively pretending COVID is over.
Yeah some people watched that show but did not critically engage with it at all.
If you're gonna be cringe at least be correct. Never be wrong and cringe
Everyone conveniently forgetting that a Spanish university found traces of covid in Spanish sewage samples from Feb 2019.
Saying that COVID must have started in Wuhan because of the virology lab makes about as much sense as saying that oncology labs cause cancer because so much cancer "starts" there.
The average white westoid male doesn't even need CIA prompting to disregard facts that make the West look bad and PoC look good.
pretty much this
CIA has always stood for Caucasian Internet Adages
Yeah yeah what the fuck happened with that? There was also some articles saying it might have been in Italy? I haven't bothered to look at it in the last year+
Reuters wrote
The new coronavirus was circulating in Italy in September 2019, a study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) of the Italian city of Milan shows, signaling that it might have spread beyond China earlier than thought.
[...]
The WHO said it would contact the paper’s authors “to discuss and arrange for further analyses of available samples and verification of the neutralization results”.
But I can't find any follow-up articles about how that went
signaling that it might have spread beyond China earlier than thought.
Lol imagine drawing this conclusion from that fact. Like discovering a printing press that predates Gutenberg and concluding that printing must have spread from Europe earlier than thought.
pretty obviously it was a natural virus and probably did originate from china as it's from a family of viruses native to east asia and the initial large spread started in China. maybe there were traces of it in Europe before it spread big ut that doesn't really mean anything
Nice try, China
China has a single Reddit account and they all get to share it
The first thing communists do when they take power is to merge all social media accounts into one. This is how we know that hexbear is still liberal
ah but every hexbear account is an alt for the one poster who makes up the entirity of the site
There was no war in Ba Sing Se. The war was in the rest of the Earth Kingdom hence the endless stream of refugees they snuck into the city with. Refugees were fleeing there because it was (for the moment) safe from the war. Checkmate, atheists :capybara-theorist:
james cameron's avatar has a prequel cartoon that's actually really good.
also Occams razor would be to assume it came about naturally as that's the least convoluted explanation
no no Occam's razor means I'm right and you're wrong stupid commie
Edit: thanks for the gold elite gentlesir!
Who cares if it was a lab accident? Why does anyone give a shit? It's out. It doesn't change anything if it came from bats or a lab or the fucking moon.
if it was a lab accident they get to blame the dirty orientals for it
lab leak also implies bioweapon because of movies and yellow peril
Except all the people who think it was a lab leak also think COVID is less dangerous than the flu. So is it a bioweapon or not a big deal? Can't have it both ways.
Who cares? What is fort Detrick. What is the vape lung scare that appeared surrounding US domestic labs. Caring matters because is America is to blame
mayos desperately ignoring that Fauci funded the research in WIV
The Ba Sing Se joke was only funny 10 years ago when we were denying the existence of the M Night Shyamalan movie
Kind of a reverse Morbius, where everyone had seen The Last Airbender but pretended that they hadn't
Look I love cartoons but the amount of grown adults who constantly reference them in relation to real geopolitical situations is so fucking cringy.
yeah China definitely released a virus that trashed the Chinese economy for a year or so for shits and giggles that makes a lot more sense than sometimes infectious diseases happen
