Is that misplaced nationalistic defensiveness?
you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks surf side isn’t a scandal.
One scandal doesn’t make it impossible or hypocritical to call out other scandals.
- masterof0 5y agoIt doesn't makes it impossible but it makes it morally wrong. You can't go around criticizing people and then do worst. You are just biased. And that's what I'm calling out. Also is not only Surfside, this is one that I remember as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_International_University_pedestrian_bridge_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_International_Universi...), obviously no one went to jail for that. I live in Miami, I know first hand the pain of the people in this community, but hey, I'm probably just some chinese asset pointing out facts over here.
- mint2 5y agoThat logic doesn’t follow. If one nation ever has an issue it’s suddenly immoral for them to call out that issue elsewhere ? I mean given how painful surfside, I’d much rather people speak up on the danger of shoddy construction so in a few decades there aren’t surfsides occurring in China or Guam or Canada or Florida. But I guess making loud noises about bad construction is immoral.
