A recent comment here on this website (about 20 minutes ago) reminds me of a pretty good scene from it.

[disclaimer: I pirated it, I don't normally steal, but frick apple and Foundation is too important to the world of sci-fi for me not to at least check it out and to see how its interpreted]

The problem is, Foundation is notoriously unadaptable. Firstly, the series operates on a massive scale that would frighten most filmmakers into turning tail and running the other way. The first installment alone spans 200 years, while the series writ large transpires across 600 years. Second, Foundation is a novel of ideas, not of characters. Most mid-century works of what scholars call โhard science fictionโ share this trait: these are high-minded stories of weighty intellectual themes, which prioritize airtight scientific rigor over character-driven narratives. Foundation is a brilliant series, but you wonโt find much in the way of character development or emotional beats here; what youโll find are scantily sketched characters, most of them white men, conversing at length about the fate of the Galactic Empire. If youโre looking for epic space battles and wrenching character deaths, look elsewhere, because in the world of Foundation, most deaths are just the casualties of timeโs inexorable march. In a cosmically massive story, they barely merit a paragraph.

You and carpathianflorist are some CIA psyop, huh? Same training camp?
You literally just repeated the same argument word for word. You really need to learn to coordinate your soamming of disinfo better. At least write something different than him like "China is harvesting baby organs for boner pills" or something. It can't be so fricking difficult, I bet one of you losers has written an anti-Chinese bullshit generator at this point.
Please explain in more detail the little conspiracy theory you just wanted to push based on one random youtuber's meaningless personal anecdote that's probably entirely made up just like 99% of all anti-Chinese bullshit on the internet. I really want to have a good laugh at you thinking China asking people to stop spreading racial hatred and sinophobic disinfo is equivalent to a global campaign of war crime and terror and the total oppression of all opposition through war and the violent enforcement of one of the most murderous ideology in history (capitalism/liberalism/fascism, i.e. Americanism) to actively prevent global progress. Wow, you sure got China there, buddy.
Even the nazi-style conspiracy theories about China committing "genocide" are better than this, at least the NED is investing hundreds of millions into promoting terrorism and religious extremism in Xinjiang so it has a steady stream of "witnesses", but now that you realized that all the people spreading that propaganda are liars, THIS nonsense is your next best thing? A fricking whining youtuber spreading conspiracy theories nobody gives a shit about and that nobody - not a single person - in the Chinese government probably ever heard of?
The fact you unironically use the term "Wolf Warrior diplomacy" already shows what level of idiocy is driving you to write your comments. lmao
Edit: Half an hour later. Lots of Anglo losers responding with single sentences trying to derail the conversation by attacking me personally, not a single justification for the deranged anti-Chinese propaganda garbage they spread so far. Ever more conspriacy theorists and sinophobic losers attacking me personally without justifying their delusions or responding to criticism. I think we can once again see what kind of people oppose China. As ALWAYS when people on reddit criticize China: They are totally incapable of justifying their nonsense and stick to their lies as they personally attack those calling them out. ๐
