It appears that I have activated the echo chambers defense system, and even inactive TDS trolls are coming to it's defense.

I laughed. Your Trump levels of either delusion or trolling is quite funny at times.

INSANE: Joe Biden Signs Executive Order Banning the Term “China Virus”​

INSANE: Joe Biden Signs Executive Order Banning the Term "China Virus"

Joe Biden signed an executive order today that banned the term “China virus.” It’s not clear how this will help with the pandemic. The coronavirus is widely believed today to have been created in a lab in Wuhan China. This was one of his 37 executive orders in six days. A dictator signs 37...

Biden sure is putting those EO's to good use. Definitely not something a fascist dictator would do. This is totally not going to backfire at all.

Put it this way, how did it benefit you calling it the china virus?

Did it benefit you in any way, or did it harm people in any way?

I am against it, but I can at least understand why he did it, especially since the last president used the word freely and without compassion

The left are actually dumb enough think calling a virus that originated in China the "China virus" is racist...

"China" isn't even a race.

People call viruses by the name of their origin. The world still calls the "Spanish Flu" by that name, even though it never even originated in Spain.

Thinking that is racism is actually racist. People of all races live in China.

The picture from that news article hints at why he did it.

You forgot "worst of humanity" - that one is particularly hurtful

I'll update.

Thirty two days... Thirty two.

The video was recorded in September 2005 in the NBC Studios parking lot while Trump was preparing to appear in an episode of the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Access Hollywood,

What did they mean by this?

Is "Sep.2005" 32 days before "Nov.2016"?

I do despise the left at this point, but that is purely because of the disgusting behaviour I observe from the left every single day.

When I refer to people on the left as "slimy", "disgusting", "vile", "fascist", "commies", "evil" or "the worst of humanity"... It has nothing to do with them being on the left, and everything to do with the behaviour they are exhibiting.

If you don't want to be referred to as "slimy" or "disgusting", stop the disgusting slimy behaviour. If you don't want to be called a commie, stop being one.

How about you rather just stop doing it? It'll make it a lot easier for people to take your claims at face value if you're not spewing bile all over them at the same time. Not saying you're going to get much more uptake - your sources to date have been a dumpster fire of discredited material and your link spamming goes right against the way forums prefer to work - but you never know.

edit: or, if you don't want to stop, then stop complaining about name-calling and civility.

Well, since it is banned from being called the china virus now, we can start calling it the America virus as it didn't originate there either, but people will still know what we are talking about

I'm not sure the POTUS can ban a word from being said. That's something a fascist dictator does. I think this is going to backfire.

China literally have people in concentration camps.

Some leftie. Let's not call Covid the Chinese virus even though that is factually accurate as it might hurt their feelings?

I don't really get it.

Wait, why is calling it the Chinese virus, racist? Is it from China?
Is the Spanish flu racist? (yes, I know it originated in the US, people associated it with Spain because they were the hardest hit and because, well, no internet)

A white person living in China...is Chinese. Just like an Indian in South Africa is called South African. Chinese virus would be correct.
How else can you refer to China the country without saying China...or Chinese?

"Chinese aggression in the South China Sea!"
RACISM!
Or...is...it?

The US is in a trade war with China. Trump's job is to make China look bad. Calling it the Chinese virus makes China, rightfully, look bad especially considering all the underhanded shet they did the first few months.

Giving faulty PPE to other countries to make it look like they were helping.
Telling their Chinese diaspora to buy up local PPE to "help the motherland" AKA to create a local shortage and exacerbate virus spread around the world.

It's racist to talk about China's concentration camps.

 

[Moosedrool]

Calling it the China virus is no different than hammering on the term South African strain.

I can't recall a serious outbreak of xenophobia due to this. Maybe a stupid case here and there in the very early stages, but it didn't take Trump to call it something for that to happen.

I do recall Nancy Pelosi being so concerned with the possibility of xenophobia that they went to Chinatown San Francisco requesting people to go there. No Social distancing, no masks. This is the time people now criticize the GOP for not having taken action and enforce lockdown regulation. You know the time the GOP downplayed the virus.

You know that there are people of Chinese descent living in the United States right? American citizens who might be the target of bigotry if the term "China virus" becomes widely used.

But that's not what @DavidFreeman said? He said that it happened long before. He's correct, it did happen long before.
He didn't say it was reported long ago.
