Attached: 3 images tldr: GitCode or China is attempting to mirror/clone the entire GitHub over to their own servers and there's nothing you can do about it, even if your license somehow disagrees with it. Apparently China now has their own GitHub/public Git repository hosting service called GitCode; it is owned and operated by CSDN under the company name "重庆开源共创科技有限公司". It is being reported that many users' repository are being cloned and re-hosted on GitCode without authorization - meaning your project may very well be on this service without you explicitly allowing.

GitCode, a git-hosting website operated Chongqing Open-Source Co-Creation Technology Co Ltd and with technical support from CSDN and Huawei Cloud.

      It’s funny how much effort you’re going to debating my word choice instead of the meaning and content of my rebuttal to your stupid comment. Do you have an actual point here? Are you claiming that what you were doing above wasn’t whataboutism? That it’s somehow a valid counterpoint to my joke about CCP censorship to say that the US also does bad things?

        Your rebuttal was nothing more than a word choice. And you’re still using it.

        The reason you’re doing this is because if you use the actual fallacy’s name, rather than the US empire’s “and you are lynching negros”, you’re more likely to see your error.

      Hahahahahahahaha, oh man, how much you spend on a psychologist every month?

      Also, what you’re doing is called sophistry, specifically moving the goal posts (which predates the US by about 1000 years).

      You later move on to attacking the person, rather than the argument (more sophistry).

      You should probably educate yourself lest you expose the clown inside.

      1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

      lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

          America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.
