"In any case, no need for outright racial hatred of a whole nation." Ooof, so many levels of paradoxicality. It's like words have no meaning these days. - "In any case"? like ANY case? (bit pedantic but still) - "no need", we are discussing the need (- Israel and Saudis and most of the World DOES need to be boycotted (big fan of the Prime Directive)) - "racial", using something that has a problematic definition to describe a billion people that would NOT be the same race with any definition of the word - "hatred" ?, I agree that "to blacklist all Chinese nationals and refuse to deal" is drastic and voluntarily discriminatory, but that is the point. Hatred would be calling for their death, or at least a minimum amount of direct physical harm. In the end, the USA had and still has an ongoing embargo against Cuba (yes,yes it IS more complicated than that, but we don't call it hatred). "Most people don't want to risk their lives for noble causes", now THAT is a line of reasoning we can work on. - Why don't they? - Does that affect their perception of reality? - Does that affect their social relations and information sharing? Then let us skip from the Yang to the Ying, and then go on about our days. We are oblivious to most of the automatic/subconscious moral reasoning our brain does, the Ghost Not, so we're kinda fucked if no Genius Philosopher/Messiah/Fusion Tech/Aliens come out soon.
