Oh my goodness, “brash talk”. We Westerners give out a whole laundry list of things that we do contary to our “proclaimed values” and then in the next paragraph say “anyway, if we don't get our act together the third-worlders might stop looking up to us and our values”.[1] It's farcical how arrogant that is.
[1] Mock quote.
- hef19898 3y agoIf you quote me, do it correctly. I mever said looking up, I said soft power in geo politics, which I think democracies should have. There is nothing saviour-related to this opinion. Anyway, there is nothing good that came from the last NATO led interventions, did it? Which is part of the problem.
- avgcorrection 3y agoThat part says “mock quote”. From the start.
- hef19898 3y agoSo intentionally misreading comments? I think there is something in the HN guidelines about that...
- avgcorrection 3y agoNo. (1) Talking generally and (2) reading into whatever the hell “soft power” means in this context. But report me if you want. I'm sure all of us on this site would get banned because we (“we” as in HN, lest you accuse me of misreading again) constantly disagree about how we interpret each other here.
