Banning tech? Did they develop this tech the same way they developed the rest of their tech?
Through the hard work and dedication of many scientists and engineers? Yes.
Paper, the compass, printing, gunpowder. Cope, Nazi.
Name anything developed 100% by America in the last 39000 days on an odd calendar month by a scientist who's name contains three vowels and the letter X which wasn't funded by wealth stolen from the global south and on land that wasn't stolen from victims of genocide.
Careful not to hurt your back moving those goalposts.

I'm sorry, are you implying china developed Covid-19?
I love the COVID was a bioweapon line of argument because if you track it to it's logical conclusion, China is capable of making bioweapons that America and the rest of the West are extremely shitty at defending against so China could just hit them again and again whenever it wanted with disproportionate losses for the West.
It's deliberately creating a conspiracy theory to show how much you suck.
Not to mention the whole hitting themselves with it first thing just completely flying in the face of logic.
And also that the response of every western government to the release of a bioweapon was to do fuck all and infect all their citizens with it and kill millions so that line would go up. With friends like these, huh?
The toothbrush, which you should use more often.
It was SO GOOD when you posted it the first time. Really glad you copypasted it. Thanks man.
They also invented the landmine, which you should go and frolick in a field of them.
