        That isn’t an explanation, you’re just using a different word to say the same thing. Why is it copium?

          I was saying that’s their reason, hence they didn’t provide any proof

            They were referencing the article above though? And you don’t disprove a statement by simply saying “nu-uh!” at them. Why do you think what they are saying is untrue?

              Again, I’m not arguing against y’all. I’m arguing against the commenter saying the US is an almighty power that could snap its fingers and destroy China, which is pure cope devoid of any reasoning.

                I wasn’t trying to argue with you, I was trying to get you to clarify your position though? Sorry if it came across as combative.

              I think you have this copium comment mixed up comrade. I believe they are saying this lemmy.ee posters’ “America da best, China bad” comment is the cope. Not the article or the initial comment by the Lemmygrad user.

              The .ee commenter provides nothing other than random spouting of western propaganda nonsense in response to an article showing China’s strength. That is the cope.

              “What makes this claim fantasy” is cope. Cope is what makes it a fantasy. They are coping with the fact that China is beating them. So they beat their chest a scream about American being the best as a means to cope with the fact that China is beating them.

                Well, they haven’t provided me with a response so I have no idea what they think about the situation. There’s no way they would do something silly and embarrassing like burst in here and show how little they understand about the topic though. No way they would do that.

                  Yes they did. Multiple times now. You just decided to double down on misunderstanding their comment and attacking them. No offense, but you are the one in the wrong in this instance.

                    I wasn’t attacking them, I was asking them to clarify their position. They refused to do so the entire time, hence all this confusion.
