Fuck Russia, fuck Israel, fuck the United States, fuck China.
That is how get all the STIs.
Wth what did China do
It does seem a bit unfair to include them and not India
As an Indian young adult not too invested in politics, may I please learn why and what for?
As a Canadian, first example that comes to mind is the apparent involvement of a killing in Canada.
But nothing personally against you or any other Indian, same as nothing against any Chinese.
I am always dubious of people who claim they have nothing against “the people of <country>” just the government. See it doesn’t fit with lived experience.
I get called upon to answer for every crime (real or imagined) of the Chinese government because I’m perceived as Chinese for these reasons:
- I’m half-Chinese and my appearance leans very much toward my mother’s side.
- I’m resident in China.
- I don’t instantly leap up and criticize everything Chinese, nor do I instantly agree with ever criticism of China.
So I’m basically accused of being a Communist Party of China shill (despite, ironically, my not even being permitted to join the Party if I wanted to … which I don’t), being a “brainwashed” Chinese citizen, despite holding a Canadian passport—and never another—for about half a century, and in general treated with contempt and suspicion.
Despite, you know, “nothing against any Chinese”.
So … perhaps you’re the exception to the observed rule? But I won’t be putting myself on the line to test it. I’ve got well over half a century of testing completed.

I have the perfect parallel, actually. Fundamentalist Christians who babble about “love the sinner, hate the sin”. Their actions constantly belie their pretty words. Same for “love the <insert national citizen>, hate the <nation> government” crowd.
I don’t really know to respond to this. You’re projecting things onto me that I can not defend against without divulging too much about my personal life.
And I also don’t mean to invalidate your experience. I do not doubt that you have gone through that countless times. Nothing I can say can convince you that I’m sincere. And why should it?
But that leaves me in a weird place. Should I have said nothing? Just criticize a government and make no statement on its average citizens? Assume the sentiment will be implicit? I’m not comfortable with such assumptions on the modern internet unfortunately. I’m not happy with the state of things either.
But I strive to form my own opinions and always see the individual. Whether you can recognize or trust that or not I feel I have to go on that path.
I appreciate your input. Even if, or especially because, it led me to think a lot.

See I take the ever so nuanced stance of yes Isreal is entitled to self defense, BUT and stay with me here it’s important, what they are doing isn’t self defense anymore and needs to be stopped
It basically has never been self defense.
Hey look at that, a fascist block
What the fuck?
Israel is taking control of part of Lebanon, because rockets were being shot at Israel from that part of Lebanon. If Israel had not been attacked from there, Israel would not have invaded. That is ethically and morally quite different from Russia’s unmotivated war of aggression to annex their neighbor.
Any why were they shooting rockets from there?
Because they are the proxy of Iran, and Iran uses anti-semitism to distract their population.
Seriously, that is it. Why did you think that Israel and Iran are at war? They are 1000km apart. WTF would Israel care about regime change in Iran, if not just to stop Iran attacking Israel?
