Dang, if you think my comment is out of place here, that's fine, but don't mischaracterize what I wrote. Nothing I said was nationalistic or ideological; it's objectively true and reported upon by mainstream media around the world. In the context of my comment, I don't have a "problem" with China. I'm pointing out that China's human rights violations, which are recognized by the international community, are very similar to a certain historical regime cited by the person I was replying to. If this is off limits, then fine, but this sort of overreaction on your part only makes this community less interesting.
By the way, what do you define as "flamebait"? Nothing I said was "flaming" the other person. There wasn't even a flamewar. The closet to that was my comment getting downvoted, which I don't even care about. I'm not going to argue with you, but anyone reading this should at least know how you interpret it.
Maybe it'd be helpful if you were more specific: Should we not comment on a country's human rights violations? No argument from me either way.
- dang 6y agoIt's much shallower than that. You posted over-the-top language about a country, complete with Nazi references. Please don't. It makes internet threads really shitty. If you don't think "So they're not putting people into ovens yet, but besides that" is flamebait I'm not sure what else to tell you.
