I don't understand the race baiting outrage trying to be manufactured here?
Imagine you are Asian, let‘s say Han Chinese. Nobody alive in Shanghai today has ever had to witness other Chinese people being fire bombed in their cities by a foreign aggressor.
Of course it does happen every day in other parts of the world, mostly in the middle east, but seeing people like you, peope that could be your neighbours, or even literally you, die in a cluster bomb attack is… completely new and shocking.
Of course people are gonna point that out, and surely Chinese media would be underlining „it‘s Chinese people like you and me dying!“.
There is no implication that 3rd world citizen‘s are „lesser“ people or that they deserve war.
Quite the opposite: opposition to war in the Middle East has been a very common sentiment especially in Europe, so you can't even complain that people are now „tasting their own medicine“ etc.
Especially since Europe accepted millions of refugees with mostly very open hands.
So basically what all the people in the videos in that Twitter thread are saying is „the situation in Europe has deteriorated to a state comparable with the worst places to be on earth right now.“
