I'm pretty sure the British of all people know what being polite is, they just clearly lacked the imagination to understand that maybe another culture would have a different notion of what constitutes such a thing

iirc there are duelling, equally awful, threads on /pol/, one pro-Israel and one pro-Palestine.

As far as rubbernecking, /b/ had epic Hamas footage (gore) on Oct 7 and 8, and has had epic IDF footage (gore) since then.

This is pretty much how the Ukraine war has gone over there as well.

Yeah it's this, they're just a bunch of misanthropic sad sacks who rubberneck at any kind of human suffering in order to feel alive. They claim to have political beliefs but they don't actually have a coherent ideology beyond "I want everybody who's not me to suffer."

My experience from living in East Asia is a lot of folks there consider the face thing uniquely Asian too. It's ridiculous, you're listening to them and they're like "Well you see here in Korea/China/Japan if you deliberately make your boss insecure and belittle them it'll have consequences for you and your career."

I want to live in the version of the West these guys apparently believe in.

There's that rumour he's ducking calls, because diplomatic calls are considered official in some capacity, so if they tell him to deescalate and not strike Iran, he's in a bind.

So, he's decided to just not speak to any western leaders, presumably excluding Biden, so technically he won't be asked not to strike Iran.

This is my strategy for handling emails when I'm busy: if I don't see them, they don't exist, and so I don't have to action them.
