It’s no secret I’m on the misanthropy spectrum, but as such a person you could say that about, I wanted to ask this ever since hearing this conveyed in response to recent events which sees three spheres of influence now arguably possessing the potential to deliver on such promises. Like… what’s the deal?

    Verbal technicality in this case since the topic is discrimination. When someone from a nation is treated a certain way, often they’ll speak in terms of culture instead of nation and it catches on in these conversations.

      It’s a technicality that makes a difference, though.

      If someone is advocating for genocide or whatever and accuses you of discrimination for saying “how 'bout not, tho”, they’re just making up bullshit to push their reprehensible agenda.

      Meanwhile, it’s totally possible to be from a country that does bad shit while abhoring said bad shit (and also appreciating the cuisine and music or whatever of their community.) There would be no benefit whatsoever to punishing such an individual.
