Yes, my friend from the Philippines who says, “Our 3rd-world squalor . . ,” because that’s how they affectionately refer to it.

Here he is trying to recruit posters by posing a seemingly innocuous question about the connections that India has with China - but given his posting history I don’t believe in honest intentions. (post #11)

Resurrecting because the dumbass is on a roll again. Providing cites he doesn’t waste time reading or understanding, and hopes nobody else will.

One day his epitaph will read: **Urbanredneck** - [Often wrong](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=896153), [but never in doubt.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=894126&page=4)

That dude has posted so much bullshit in COVID threads that I lost count. And it’s always “things I’ve heard” or “things people are saying”. I don’t think he posted an actual cite for any of the stupid things he’s claimed.

I think I’d like his niece, though. I bet she’s gonna grow up to be a liberal.
