I did attack your source. NONE of the sources either of you quoted say what you claim they fucking say.

You are lying.

It's that simple.

I have read all 3 of those sources AND Googled "what percentage of the population of China has access to safe drinking water" and NONE of the results agree with your claims... That's the point.

You're either lying, or too stupid to use the internet safely.

You're stuck in an echo chamber and you don't even realize it. I'm trying to fucking help you learn how to think for yourself and do REAL research and your only response is ad hominem attacks...

I'm Canadian you fuckwit...

Your search term is literal confirmation bias presented by AI...

Did you not learn the scientific method wherever you were educated?

  1. Develop a hypothesis.
  2. Design experiments to disprove your hypothesis.
  3. IF you can't disprove your hypothesis with extensive peer reviewed experimentation, then it might be true.
  4. Rinse and repeat until you have overwhelming evidence disproving any other natural explanation.

The fact that you just played all the anti-China greatest hits demonstrates that you are predisposed to be critical of other cultures and will actively seek out information exclusively to confirm your bias... Grow up.

Because as expected, the sources don't support the initial claim...and you know that because you made your claim without any, then scrambled to try and find some that supported your presupposition.

Maybe you're just ignorant and stubborn, maybe you're a bad faith actor intentionally spreading misinformation; that's up for other people to decide.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Your bullshit doesn't just stand uncontested, it's not other people's responsibility to validate your lies.

Except I already know the claim is bullshit... Hence the challenge.

You're a propaganda bot.

So 1 actual study from 3 years ago, which concludes that the water specifically in Wuhan meets the countries safety standards and 2 unsourced travel blogs...

You are spreading propaganda in bad faith, as expected

Go away bot..

Yet you can't provide a source...

You're claiming that 80% of the Chinese population lacks access to clean water? You're gonna need to provide a source on that incredulous claim.

Only that doesn't move the needle on the underlying problem at all. After the civil rights movement in the US they busted up Klan rallies, made it more difficult to be openly discriminatory in the workplace and essential services, and made it more difficult for assholes to do their thing. None of that changed them, it just pushed then underground... Where they festered and grew in numbers for 50 years.

We either need forums to engage with these in the hope we can guide them to more enlightened perspectives or, more cynically, we need places we can reliably look for them if we develop the fortitude for more, radical solutions.

Racism. The primary motivating force behind the current US administration is making racism public policy again.

The Canadians who envy the US are the ones who think immigration is ruining our country.

Journalists avoiding publication options based on ideology is literally how we end up with echo chambers...

On this topic specifically, don't you think it's important to try and communicate directly with the people who are being misinformed?

Straight, cisgender white people are having a real hard time not being the loudest voices in the room anymore and it shows...
