Admitting fault isn’t growth if it’s something regularly practiced. I stand by the rest of the sentiment.

You said “Rowling Stan”. I probably should have picked up on it, but it took me looking back at the post to figure that out. That point is less relevant.

If she doesn’t recognize a trans person’s humanity, why should they recognize hers?

I do. You intentionally made it vague to garner more sympathy. I’m highlighting that fact

“public figures” is doing some heavy lifting for JK Rowling, a very shitty human being. You aren’t winning any favors going to bat for a hateful billionaire.

Many lemmy instances are very queer friendly and you’ll be shocked to find that that community especially does not like her. If you don’t understand why, try to learn. I promise you it isn’t for no reason.

Yeah, I’m pro “lgbt”. Let’s go…

Maybe the invading country should stop invading? Tiny Israel just needs to do some more lebensraum. Why won’t those barbaric Muslims let them steal their lands and homes?

I think the point is more so that they’re caring about the wrong thing, not that religion is the factor here.

About 6-7

Yeah because that’s sooooo easy

So why aren’t you more bothered by the worse actor that’s been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?

I think lifting that many people out of extreme poverty in that short of time is admirable, and speaks to how recent the rise has been. The fact you’re saying “but they don’t have as good of worker amenities like paid time off of Europe that wasn’t at nearly such a disadvantage” is a wild standard.

How about this metric?

Even in your one cherry picked metric it’s still beating the US. Incredible.

Famously they traded 1000 Palestinians for 1 Israeli soldier.

You forgot, you have to ignore all the good things China does, highlight all the bad (especially if it’s western fear mongering bullshit), and when you highlight how contextually the US is almost always worse for X reason, remember to “oppose both” when you seem to have way more smoke for the other. This is because “tankies bad” and don’t think about it harder obviously. /s

Second this. It gives a really good baseline.

That’s been the entire country’s history sooo…?

“Politics” is a doing a lot of heavy lifting for Genocide and ethnic cleansing.
