Yeah, between this headline and the “China is asshoe” sub-header flair, things are getting more antagonistic on this board and it’s not great to see.
Not everyone who lives in China was a part of COVID or celebrates when the PLA/CCP screws people over.
Like innocent Chinese citizens, not everyone in PA voted for Fitzpatrick or knew he was in the FBI previously. His ads just said he was in law enforcement, if memory serves. He wasn’t in my district/on my ballot so I didn’t pay that close attention.
PA has been swamp city for a long time; Shapiro has been dirty since he was a county commissioner. Philly is atrocious.
I understand how we’re all frustrated with how things are going, but it’s no bueno to start slathering these frustrations on people who didn’t create the problem to start.
Regarding China, something to note is just how strong the hive mind is there. Any criticism against anything related to China or a Chinese person is taken personally by everyone there who learns about it. They may not have been part of anything virus-related, they may even passionately hate the CCP, but they'll fight like mad to defend it. It's just part of the culture. There's several videos from Westerners in China that cover the topic if you're interested.
When it really matters, I think it's safe to say that there are virtually no Chinese allies. Although, I do agree with your point about antagonism not being good.
My college roommate’s parents immigrated from China.
Her uncle has been arrested, jailed, threatened, and essentially de-personed for speaking against the regime.
When Hong Kong was happening, they were terrified he was going to get himself killed.
It is a matter of life and death. Of course they’re not going to go around blabbing their hate for Xi so an idiot Westerner farming likes can post them on video on YouTube where they can be ID’ed and imprisoned in a re-education camp.
Sure, pretend the hive mind defensiveness is not all over Weibo or WeChat. Pretend people on the streets aren't fussing about the latest "insult to China" they heard from state media. Pretend they're all well-intentioned and just scared to speak out. What a load of crap. As I said above, it's part of the culture. WWG1WGA is as natural as breathing to them.
Fuck this guy. He doesn't represent us, neither does Richard Levine or Wolf. PA went red.
