I think the point you’re making is true, but the titular argument could still be useful rhetoric to the misguided patriot.

Bwahaha I swear it’s a reminder for myself, too
As someone who said that very response many, many times, it’s sometimes useful to remember that some people can’t say the same thing. You didn’t “just do what anyone else would” in that situation. Some people did die. You didn’t. You are strong and capable. Your resilence matters and it’s the reason you are here today instead of the alternative.
No way that thing has gotten me into more places than it’s gotten me kicked out
Seems like splitting hairs, I get it.
It’s fucking wild being the only queer in the friend group who can make phone calls without issue. It’s the lamest superpower.
It’s weird to see. Like I get worrying about politics going on now and making jokes about it to cope, but this seems detached from that. It seems like making posts to spite some nebulous pro-China boogie man that I haven’t run into or easily ignored, but it’s posted in a place where that issue doesn’t exist. I just can’t tell who it’s for.
Though, I don’t really care for the “post this cat repeatedly” joke either. Maybe I’m just old now.
I’ve absolutely seen shitstains find out someone is Chinese then start posting or replying to them with Winnie the Pooh content or memes. I bet the original joke was meant to be specific, but when I see people use it in response to someone talking about China or being Chinese in general, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Like, Pepe the frog wasn’t intended to be an image associated with bigotry and the artist themselves has denounced it full-throatedly. That doesn’t mean it isn’t used as a dog whistle for racists.
Shitty people are gonna be shitty, I realize, but I think broad sweeping generalizations in either direction aren’t useful.
If sowing discord means posting pictures of food and just generally being nice to one another, I’m not sure the status quo being disturbed is worth protecting.
Oh no it turns out that Chinese people are friendly and normal this will surely be the downfall of the West.
Watch. $3.5k min for the device and still no stylus or expandable storage slot in the phone.
I want a folding phone, but they gotta make it reasonable and give me the features I got on my 5 year old Note before I consider spending that much.
Yah, when I think of America, I think of the Eifel Tower.
Nonsense. It’s shit from a butt and it shouldn’t be in front of human eyes.
About a year late to the party and I bet it’s gonna be a grand more expensive than other trifold options available
I sure don’t and it doesn’t stop me. And I’m irresistible.
It’s all in the way you carry yourself.
I love how the Germans use zeuge.
Tools? Those are work things. (Werkzeuge)
Airplanes? You know, flying things! (Flugzeuge)
Vehicles? Duh, the driving things! (Fahrzeuge)
Why make new word when two (or six) words will do?
Let’s get some shit out of the way here.
your chub looks great in a crop top, I swear. Start believing it, others do.
your chest/belly hair looks great too
Alright, with that business out of the way, proceed.
But… They’re tasty and goat makes you strong
