Apparently “nationalism is bad” is an uncivil take. Unless there’s another reason someone would ban this comment… 🤔

    I believe that those particular Chinese students were, at least in the majority, failing to think critically about the discussion at hand.

    I’m sure you did. In the same way you insist anyone who votes for Trump simply isn’t thinking critically.

    Only folks with your shared views are recognized as intellectual. You’re incapable of accepting any other train of thought.

    To suggest that this means I assume all Chinese citizens are incapable of thinking for themselves

    That’s the universe of people you’re comment established. And the cavalier attitude is why you were banned.

    I initially attempted to assume as little about your intentions as possible

    I don’t see any evidence of that

      I don’t see any evidence of that

      That’s why I asked what you meant rather than making assumptions about your intentions. But you even attempted to mock me for that.

      I don’t need to continue to suffer your unwarranted insults and assumptions. I used my bias to make a statement about my own lived experience without insulting anyone, nor using it as irrefutable evidence of anything. You’re using yours to group anyone who disagrees with you together, insult their character and claim intellectual superiority. Go fuck yourself.

          To be fair, with the goals of that community being what it is, I fundamentally agree. I’m not one to sit idly by while people spread lies and misinformation. I’m honestly shocked it took them as long as it did to ban me. It’s hilarious that they hit me on such an innoculous offense, though. I actually once just straight called out Yogthos as being a Chinese-bought plant, totally ignorant to their role in .ml, or the fact that most people there tend to agree with their bias’. I figured that’s a far worse “rule 1” than this.
