Since this is indisputable proof that EricCartman is indeed racist, and people have been taking the piss trying to reflect theaccusation back onto Thelonious - then lets hear all people disputing either, come out and acknowledge that the above bolded quote is racist?My prediction: Not a single one of them defending Cartman will - because nearly all those posters are in the habit of 'concern trolling' - i.e. only pretending to give a shit about what they are acting so 'concerned' about, purely for rhetorical effect (e.g. like expressing concern for Greta while never missing an opportunity to use 'mental illness' to dampen the credibility of what she says) - and they will prove it, by trying to slip acknowledging the above blatant racism (as they don't care, when it's 'their side' of the debate...).

No - because you're a hypocrite who supports the produce of Communism when it suits you, and who goes on about emissions from China yet doesn't want to do the one major thing that would reduce it: Eliminate our - the western world's - demand for their produce. Just like the rest of the pretend 'Anti-Communists' in the thread. EDIT: Well, actually - credit where it's due:

Eric Cartman wrote: » Its not that communism is better at producing anything or supported, its the oppressive structure, enforcement and questionable labour laws that communism always presents which reduce the price of production to such a point where these low quality pointless goods are dumped on world markets.

KyussB wrote: » So a basic TLDR: All the people spouting off against Communism, couldn't bare to think of doing without all of the cheap Communist Chinese goods - and in fact some are even now defending China as not being Communist. Fairly priceless how fast the goalposts shift and contort once you point out the hypocrisy of these posters positions.
KyussB wrote: » Well as it happens right now I'm posting through a Raspberry Pi which says 'made in the UK' on the PCB :pac: Actually I think you'll find that the deindustrialization of the west and offshoring into Communist countries, was done precisely by the free-market-fetishist financial, business and political people, who are usually the most frothing-at-the-mouth against Communism - it's almost like they feed people bullshit about Anti-Communism and being Pro-Capitalist, while simultaneously pushing a massive boom in Communist economies, and promoting moves towards Oligarchy in western nations (which is incompatible with true Capitalism)...people lap it up, too.

If people in western countries took more of a virtue in quality products than low prices then it never would have happened. Its only thanks to capitalist desires for luxury goods that abuse free manufacturing continues. A rolls royce, bentley, range rover or bmw is assembled by well paid workers in safe factories in europe, a prius is assembled in what is little more than a sweatshop and its batteries lithium mined by children.

According to the companies blurb - BMW is headquartered in Munich and in Europe produces motor vehicles in Germany and the UK. And yes BMW also produces vehicles for specific markets in other countries - this at least partially due to trade restrictions of importing such vehicles to those counties. China is a case in point
