You've got a video clip and a worldview that fits on a bumper sticker, congrats. You don't actually care about Chinese workers; you just need us to be miserable props in your moral drama so you can feel superior. When reality doesn't match the trope, you double down instead of asking questions. Best of luck to you, I hope you overcome your orientalism.
🫡 Thank you for educating me about my government (that has 95+% support among the people even according to western institutes like Harvard). You a half Filipino American clearly understand it and it's nuances better than me despite not being able to engage with any of the analysis I put forth. It is so gracious of you to shoulder the white man's burden on their behalf. Again I salute you 🫡
FYI, as a post ages, there are diminishing returns to engaging, because the audience quickly dwindles. Somehow @Cowbee@lemmy.ml keeps going and never burns out—maybe he was bit by a radioactive debatebro—but most mortals need to pick their battles strategically.
I don't mind engaging even without the audience if someone is directly replying to me. Best case it's an interesting conversation worst case I get to laugh at the idiocy of your average bigot.
🫡 As you were, then.

The radioactive debatebro is my past reddit self... Trying to recover from that, haha.
