And yall don’t need to start every interaction by being a massive bawbag and acting like everyone is out get you. The actual language of my question is pretty innocuous (though, perhaps less so given the context of the instance, but still).
If I asked if it was real, I would get answers biased by belief in the events legitimacy. I’m also not going to ask what the origins are as I already know where the image comes from. By very purposely asking such a vague question, I’m openly inviting people answer with the information that they deem important to the context of this image. By asking in this way and in this instance specifically, I have the greatest chance to learn and stumble into some new information. As with all things, there are extremely polarized opinions about American racism against the Chinese and Muslims, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

exactly. so if i’m correct, this is former singaporean foreign minster george yeo presenting us with an example of dialectics, which is the analytical process by which we find the truth that lies somewhere in the middle.
thesis: americans don’t love the chinese
antithesis: americans also don’t love muslims
synthesis: and yet americans truly love chinese muslims a lot
this is an interesting example because a lot of people intuitively think the resulting synthesis would be “americans must actually hate chinese muslims a lot” and yet we can observe how in reality that’s not the case, and rather chinese muslims become transformed into the only chinese and the only muslims that americans love. this is also an example of intersectionalism.
I think I’m missing something. The reason Americans “love” uyghurs is because of how their relationship with the PRC can be used as a political tool by the US state. Their identity is incidental.
Edit: I have fallen victim to a bit
Statement A: Americans hate Chinese (Negative statement)
Statement B: Americans hate Muslims (Negative statement)So we have -A x -B = +AB. The product of two negatives is a positive. It’s just how math works.
But wouldn’t multiplying two negative numbers make a more negative number? That doesn’t make no sense.
Adding two negatives will do that. Multiplying them gives a positive product. I’m sure some math nerd can explain why this is, but I just remember it from school
I appreciate your lovely explanation but I was doing a bit 😭
🤬
GOOD post
That mf was perfect yesterday i initially suspected it was a 'bear doin a bit cuz of all the posts the previous weeks wishing a lib would come
I’m confused, what is the question?
Edit: I’m now realizing I’ve missed some kind of running bit
A lib troll heckbeah yesterday and got a good drubbin we’re still laughing about
I hate working on the weekends
Someone came in posting a picture of tinyman square tank man with those texts
Dialectics
and the citizens of Burgerland eat it all up.
Double negatives cancel out
It is the transitive property. They got to live out the dream of killing Chinese troops. You know how bad liberals wish they could do that? Plus you know, they were paid by the cia at the time So we support the troopps.
