Defensive like downvoting facts?

Yeah some urban preplanning didn’t work out but most of those cities are filled up to the point of working now.

I remember back then all those articles - “China is building empty cities! Ha ha so dumb! Who’s gonna buy that, they all work in factories!”

It’s pretty striking that an .ml user posted a comment defending a verifiable fact, and got 10 downvotes for being “uppity”. Oh, sorry for the Wikipedia link sir, I will think more about respect for all powerful America next time

You guys really need to clean out your brainworms sometime, this shit is embarrassing

I said ghost cities exist, and then you said they didn't. That's being defensive and then you went after other people who provided facts and you just got more defensive... and here you are now, being defensive. Do you know what being defensive means?

I don't give 2 shits who downvotes you or why. Grow thicker skin if you can't handle the internet son.
