Except what happened with Vacuo happened in that war. Again, your own headcanon doesn’t count as evidence. You can think Ayla’s had multiple wars, you can think Vale violated treaties with Mistral and you can think Vale Appearently committed war crimes by attempting to colonize Glenn. But THE fact remains that, in-universe, literally none of that is true. You keep admitting your evidence is worthless, you you continue presenting it as fact.
I literally stated in my post that I don’t really trust either the USA or China. You’re putting words in my mouth. I am VERY well aware both China and the USA have their flaws, some of which are extreme and I condemn them both for it. Unlike you, however, I am not a fanboy of China, downplaying its crimes. If anything, YOU come across as the indoctrinated one. I aknowledge both countries did things wrong and have done terrible things. You downplay China’s and focus solely on the US, instead of looking at them both. Both are prettt shitty. Saying ‘USA IS A WARMOMGER!’ doesn’t suddenly make China better. Both countries are a bad example of ‘peace through unity’. And even the ideals you mentioned are false. The USA is far from the most free country in the world, as things that are controversial in the USA have been around in other countries for a long time. Its laws are sometimes also dumb (like being forbidden to collect rainwater on your own land). And don’t even get me started on their drug, race and gun issues. China is far from orderly peacefull. A look at the Hong Kong riots and prison camps for Muslims will prove that it is far from the peacefull, united nation you keep claiming it to be. Neither are good examples of what you aim to prove.
My ‘forced opinion’ is that both countries are pretty shitty in Their o wn way. Your’s is that the USA is a warmonger, but whenever someone points out China also did horrible things, you shrug and say ‘well, no one is perfect’. As for forcing an opinion...Are you really so insecure and defensive of your own headcanon that you truly believe that pointing out why Vale can’t possibly allude to China equels me being a braknswashed US-fanboy trying to convert you? Pfff. Hilarious. Truly hilarious.
As for not knowing dark times...Wow. You really don’t know anything about Dutch history, do you? The Netherlands is quite familiar with all if that, either as the one’s being opressed or one’s doing the oppressing. My country, despite ‘being small and weak’ was once the wealthiest nation in all of Europe and was a major player (and still is) a major player in tr global economy. In the past, our VOC rivaled Portugal, Brittain and Spain and had a private navy and army large enough to keep nearly all of Indonesia under its control. We did the same thing in various South-American and Caribean countries. Even now we are the world’s second biggest exporter of agricultural products to many countries in the world, including China, Germany, the USA, Belgium and more. While we had our colonies, we did pretty fucked up things and even now the Netherlands are far from naive and unfamiliar with dark politics. Or were you perhaps unaware of the fact we also took part in the war against Middle-Eastern terrorists and like any side comitted very questioneble actions while there?
We are more then familiar with dark politics, despite our small size. On the other end of the spectrum, we also know opression. We fought for 80 years against the Spanish Empire for independence and were occupied by many other forces throughout history, most notable being Nazi-Germany. While our army was defeated quite quickly, we did have an extensive Resistence and were one of the first countries that openly protested and rebelled through strikes, which then became more serious, violent, organized and ‘underground’ when the Germans and Dutch police (who were then controlled by the Germans) began to use violence.
So we are quite familiar with dark politics as you call them, on both ends of the spectrum. Next time you assume anything about my country, save yourself the embressment and do your research first.
As for Vale being blank...Yeah, no. As everyone pointed out, it doesn’t share anything important in common with China. So it doesn’t allude to China. From that logic, I can say my cat is a dog. It doesn’t look anything like a dog, but I want it to be a dog and therefore its a dog. After all, he has fur, a tail and four legs like a dog! More evidence he’s a dog isn’t needed anymore!
...See how idiotic that sounds?
