Chinese military jet intercepts Canadian Forces plane in "aggressive manner"
You're viewing a single thread.
Then the YouTube comment section saying how it's our fault since we are close to China. I don't know why I still read them.
Why do you still read them? (Edit: I'm not being snarky, I'm curious why)
Every few months I forget why I stopped reading comment sections and dip back into unmoderated comments on news sites. It's awful.
I think I often hope occasionally reporting comments helps slowly make the platforms better. But it really doesn't seem to 😞
Not enough mods.
The mods are bots too.
At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm a bot too.
It's bots all the way down...
I joke but that reminds me of the Dead Internet Theory
A long time ago, every comment on YouTube was vitriol. It didn't matter what the video was, every single comment was pure poison. Today you can safely read the comments on videos that don't have political context. Of course anything political is going to be completely overrun with state level astroturfing, extremists, and mouth breathers. Occasionally I'll accidentally read the comments on something political, forgetting that comments should be off-limits for that video.
You should see the shit Microsoft pulls with MSNBC. Editorialized headlines, and direct comments sections. It's pure toxic garbage, and they jam it down boomer throats by making it the default landing page in Edge (and IE) and that stupid "news and interests" spot on the taskbar that you have to disable.
This being the same company that got themselves into an antitrust lawsuit for bundling IE with Windows 20 years ago. Fucking bonkers how horribly times have changed.
Comments are full of bots
I'm not a bot .... at least I don't think I am
But I still want to ask .... why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China.
How would we feel if Chinese military aircraft were flying off the coast of Canada?
And there is military tension on Chinese borders, why would we want to further antagonize them?
Well it's international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.
Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn't make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

How would we feel if they sent spy balloons directly over our countries?
Uh, they already do that. We generally don't buzz the planes and antagonize them
