Bloodnose posted:Comparing WeChat to any other social networking system is comparing apples to an entire economy. WeChat has chat and news feed functions, but it's also a wealth management platform, a universally accepted payment platform, a services marketplace, a tax bureau, a licensing office, a travel agent, and a million other things I could go on and on. It's an absolutely universal tool to everyday life in China. Everyone uses it. I’m sure there’s a lot of ways this could not really work in practice but it sounds kinda cool tbh.

I know, hindu nationalists are scum. But that doesn't mean Hinduism is inherently evil. The symbol is also used all over Asia. Go to Japan, you'll see it on Buddhist temples.

I don't see your point. I'm not even arguing about the pepe thing anymore, I dropped that already.

Certain non-Han tribes of southwest China revere frogs as a symbol of fertility and wisdom, you aren't supposed to catch or eat them (though no joke frog is delicious) and pepe is an extension of the totemic worship of the wise frog who understands, albeit with a certain wry melancholy, just how messed up mainland china's judicial system is

Yea the use of the imperial Japan flag by Japan probably isn't a good look, but that's a completely different symbol isn't it? And I don't think it has a history of being used as anything else - - or has it and I'm just ignorant. While I used the example of Japanese temples, it's pretty much used on temples all over Asia. Probably more relevant to this thread, China uses it as well, it's called a wàn.

President Trump should answer this provocation by permitting the use of the Stars and Bars at the Olympics.

The confederate flag was used by rebels for a couple of years, the rising sun flag has been used by Japan since before the United States existed. Britain got to fly their nation's flags in 2012 despite previous colonial atrocities and the flag's recent use by terrorists in Ireland and ultranationalists within England. More on topic, China got to fly their flags in 2008. hobbesmaster has issued a correction as of 05:27 on Sep 6, 2019 |

sincx posted:Apples and Oranges. http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_international/908430.html quote:Flag seen as symbol of Japan’s past imperial aggressions by China and Korea So two things: 1. Were those flags banned at those olympics? Members of various nations' armed forces compete in many events, and crowds will want to support them by flying the flag of their service along with the national flag. 2. These are the paralympic flags they're complaining about : That seems like a stretch. You're going to have to do a lot of modifications to Tokyo to remove everything using the rising sun motiff if that counts. Does the city need to stop selling asahi beer? How about newspapers?

Does the city need to stop selling asahi beer? How about newspapers? I mean, yes? Just like America should remove its confederate symbols, maybe Japan should remove its imperialist symbols. It's not like this is some kind of cross cultural quirk like we were arguing about earlier. This is the exact same symbol by the exact same country that gave it those meanings. It even seems like it continues to carry those meanings in Japan as well.

As a Free Man of the soil I do not recognize the authority of the communist courts of the People's Republic of China or its extradition treaties, nor any other extradition treaties with any other illegitimate state. Which is all of them.
