Thank you! The parent comment was so infuriating that I immediately replied -- but your reply strikes at the heart of the matter. In my opinion is a little orientalist in the mind of many of us who were raised in the west. We are vulnerable due to the limited exposure to those who have lived or presently live in the Middle East and this vulnerability is, unfortunately, easily exploited by many parties.
- du2hehehdy 7y agoThanks! For what it's worth, I do agree that I was more generous towards China and Russia than I was in my presentation of the west. If I got to do the post over I would probably frame things less severely but like you I found it pretty frustrating and wanted to be sure that my core point was explicit enough so as to not be unclear.
