That’s a very generous take. In my conversations I’m simplifying as much as possible because the root issues aren’t complicated. Reconciliation is going to be incredibly complicated, but we’re not there yet. I’m asking people if genocide is bad. What’s an appropriate response to genocide? That’s getting me really far. Either they out themselves as a ghoul or they start to put it together

I’ve got a similar situation. I’ve heard a couple of times ‘its a complicated situation’ WHAT’S COMPLICATED ABOUT STANDING AGAINST GENOCIDE??? I’m a little butt hurt about it

The fact that they didn’t attempt to laugh with you shows you don’t want to be around them. Everybody farts.

This is what communism looks like

My friend did this in the 00’s. I was using that as an example of how being white holds cultural cache in china. Explaining why a bunch of randoms, might center a white guy in their pictures.

I know a white guy who was hired to act in a wine commercial because he’s white. He was teaching English in China. He said it was because having a white person gave some cache to the commercial. Apparently, some white people are hired for parties to raise the social capital of the host. I think that’s what you got caught up in. Looks like fun though

This is a reasonable response by someone trying to stop an escalation. The guy that’s got no power to stop an escalation, but can hope that some Iranian can read between the lines. The guy that made that statement is probably not who I’m talking about
