Country merge

[mrswdk]

Why where my threads merged? Is blakebowling a lazy POS?

Mrs, would you please get off your "Taiwan is a part of China" kick? Please stop politicizing Conquer Club. You're either paid to advance China's talking points or the biggest patriot of any country on Conquer Club.

Again, from a memo describing what people in your job are paid to do:

In a leaked propaganda directive to 50 Cent Party internet commentators, their objective was stated as:

In order to circumscribe the influence of Taiwanese democracy, in order to progress further in the work of guiding public opinion, and in accordance with the requirements established by higher authorities to “be strategic, be skilled,” we hope that internet commentators conscientiously study the mindset of netizens, grasp international developments, and better perform the work of being an internet commentator. For this purpose, this notice is promulgated as set forth below:

(1) To the extent possible make America the target of criticism. Play down the existence of Taiwan.
(2) Do not directly confront [the idea of] democracy; rather, frame the argument in terms of “what kind of system can truly implement democracy.”
(3) To the extent possible, choose various examples in Western countries of violence and unreasonable circumstances to explain how democracy is not well-suited to capitalism.
(4) Use America’s and other countries’ interference in international affairs to explain how Western democracy is actually an invasion of other countries and [how the West] is forcibly pushing [on other countries] Western values.
(5) Use the bloody and tear-stained history of a [once] weak people [i.e., China] to stir up pro-Party and patriotic emotions.
(6) Increase the exposure that positive developments inside China receive; further accommodate the work of maintaining [social] stability.

Items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 make up roughly half of all your posts.

As a resident of Hong Kong, I'm quite happy to leave Hong Kong as a separate scoreboard.

merge USA and China please so mrswdk and I can be closer together <3

Or if we're allowed to make up countries on here, why not create a special country that just the two of us are resident of?

You can name it and I'll design the flag.

Yeh but how much does a Private in the Red Army earn these days !!!

That's ironic guys, because I was thinking exactly the same thing.
There's been a fair bit in the news here (in Sweden) about paid Russian internet trolls. And when I read the OP's threads here on CC, this isn't the first time I've thought to myself "I wonder if (s)he is getting paid for this..."
If the Russians are doing it, obviously the Chinese are too.

Blah blah. Or you could get of your "Taiwan is an independent country" kick.

As a resident of Hong Kong, I'm quite happy to leave Hong Kong as a separate scoreboard.

And as a resident of China I would like to compete with all the other Chinese residents on one scoreboard.
