"wow! those racist asians" amirite? yeah, it's incredibly tone-deaf if you ever bothered to just peek at global politics, but most people have enough problems in their lives already and lmao if you think these words mean anything to the people on the street, it's just silly english words from <hollywood movie>

i should probably explain what i meant. the owner of that store is probably racist, normal people wouldn't call their store that, though you can't even be sure of that because as i said, all the lovely culture export USA does includes their lovely racist bullshit.

but whether they are or aren't, the reason he doesn't have to change the name is because people on the street don't give a poo poo about some english words, not because they're also all racist. for most, they've seen that bullshit on tv and just treat it as another stupid american thing. the people who are online enough to know exactly what it means, it's so far down the list of their priorities, they really don't want to bother.

I don't understand why protesters and old people can't both be hella racist.

Is this just another example of people who've never been to Asia talking with absolute certainty about a thing in Asia?

my problem is, there's no evidence for those people being hella racist. if you know those people are racist i'll believe you, many people are incredibly lovely.

but a picture of people shopping in a store that has a bad english word on it 3 billion miles away from anglophone land isn't very relevant.

IMO, that's just literal ignorance, often combined with aforementioned exportation of american racism. i see a black person in my town maybe once a month. many people who don't live in a big town never see one ever in my country.

by far the largest exposure of what black people look and act like is lovely american tv shows and straght to tv movies that are cheap to licence to air. you can probably see why that poo poo would easily give people the wrong ideas.

Note it’s still laughable that you’re coming here talking about this comparing Eastern Europe (?!)

Yes, someone posted an english slur in a non-english land as some kind of proof that these people are all racists, as if the slur means anything to most of these people. I was responding to that specific thing, because it's insanely bullshit. In your post I just quoted you gave plenty of examples of why they're actually racists, so why post the wrong one?

Maybe colloquially, but ethnic cleansing can mean 'merely' forcefully relocating an ethnic group.

Nobody made this point.

You’re completely misunderstanding context because, I have to emphasize, you’re someone who apparently knows nothing about Asia lecturing people who have lived their for significant portions of their lives and are very familiar with a variety of the local languages and cultures.

Sit down.

welp you're right i went back and read that part again and the post that prompted those pictures said pretty much the opposite, which i missed the first time, sorry.

I love the eastern europeans 30 years on from their own revolutions being like "omg why does our society still loving suck?"

also the loudest, most annoying liberals from those societies have largely fled to the west anyway. pulling down the iron curtain was never about improving their own countries, but fleeing from them and from the people

can confirm.

bananas and oranges are available in stores year round now, tvs are cheaper, and i don't have to smuggle computers across the border, but otoh my life is a neoliberal hellscape. i'm lucky because i'm a computer janitor so i'm pretty well off, but even if climate change wasn't going to erase everything in the next 30 years, i'd never be able to retire.

during the early 90s my family literally survived on loans and never having a positive number on bank accounts, my grandparents ww2 partisan pension (which not even the neoest of libs dared touch, but it also pretty much never got adjusted for inflation), and using the patch of land our previous state gave us to grow food, because my mom's a teacher and poo poo went from ok to bad in the 90s for her, and my dad's forklift driver wage went from "not good" to "not enough" as soon as socialism ended, and his employer was constantly in bankruptcy for like 5 years and then he lost his job anyway. if hyperinflation didn't pay for my grandparents' house during the late years of yugoslavia, we'd probably starve lol

OTOH, my town voted 24% literal socialists in the last election and statewide they're at 10% and gaining while tilting further left so we're probably gonna go places until EU cracks down on us lmao

"GTMO detainees were able to fast"

quote:

The first well-known Guantanamo Bay hunger strikes began in the middle of 2005, when detainees held by the United States at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp initiated two hunger strikes. The detainees organized several widespread hunger strikes to protest their innocence and the conditions of their confinement.[1][2][3][4] According to camp authorities, other captives who engaged in long-term hunger strikes, committed suicide in June 2006. Widespread hunger strikes recurred in 2013.

The fact that there was, like, any delay at all in the response, combined with all the media stories about WHISTLEBLOWER DOCTOR JAILED BY AUTHORITIES is going to be all the ammo foreign policy hawks and reactionaries are ever going to need to blame this whole thing on China.
this is true but the opposite is also somehow true.

even *with* the stupid delay, same foreign policy hawks are also using the, as news put it, "draconian measures" talking point. it's shitposts all the day down. i don't give two fucks about the chinese state itself one way or another, but i can call out people posting right wing talking points anyway.
