leave enemy soldiers an obvious escape route

Was thinking about this leading up to the Ukraine war...

Good point on the propaganda. I'm old enough to remember post 9-11... when people criticized the government response they were often told "love it or leave it".

My fundamentalist dad told me it was because the first passover (when God killed the first born son of every Egyptian household that didn't have lamb's blood) landed on Friday the 13th. Take that with a grain of salt.

Bro, have you considered the perspective of everyone when doing anything?

You're moving the goal post from "What does a Chinese person think of someone saying fuck China" to "What is the opinions of everyone when someone says fuck China".

And people do see "Fuck Israel" and accuse those saying it of being anti-Semitic. You can tell those people they are wrong for being upset, but you will find them as obstinate as you are in keeping their opinion.

Also, there's a big difference between saying something like "fuck China" in a group chat vs posting it on a global forum - that sort of context matters.

Why though? There is literally no reason to be upset

Says the person who refuses to consider the perspective of others, like the Chinese.

Yes I am little upset, but I don't deny it and I don't deny it happens to others. Every accusation is a confession it seems.

You seem fairly upset yourself, certainly wrote a lot on this.

Edit: it seems the question "What do the Chinese think?" is not relevant to you - I don't really care about your reasons to dismiss the question, but I do care that others know that is where you are coming from.

TIL the Chinese people never hear "fuck China" and are unable to think about it.

Needs a lot more scientific words for me to take this seriously.

How do you think the Chinese people would perceive "fuck China" with no other qualifiers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

More observation than ad hominem, unless of course you identify with what is observed.
