      Funny how hard and triggering it is to look at things happening outside your backyard when it’s sooo much easier to play some kind of authoritative voice on another far away city’s unrest because you had dim sum a few timeshttps://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1291880838531919872 …

      I’d link you up with some Uighurs instead, who could tell you if it was actually getting “genuinely difficult” to tell the two countries apart, but the ones I know—who barely escaped—are too afraid to speak up a word lest their families back home be murdered or further tortured.

      If you have a problem w the article which explicitly says 1mm uyghurs are detained, you should @sarahjeong. If you have problem w my poking fun of ppl who like to write authoritatively abt HK without even being here, welcome to reach out to get my pov as someone who lives here

      I’m responding to your claim that @Pinboard was “triggered” by any amount criticism of the United States in that article. Also presumably, you have a deeper objection to people writing about China or Germany without ever having lived and suffered there for a long time? (I don’t).

          Ha! I have close friends and family in mainland and pre-covid it’s a place I frequent for personal and professional reasons. I don’t have the same luxury as keyboard warriors who have zero exposure. As for Germany, you are right I have never lived there and

          I know better than to throw my hotakes about it just because the Berlin Wall is a worthwhile tourist spot to visit

          Replying to @zeynep @goldencaskcap and

          The claim that @reckless also made that vehemently objecting to the idea that it is getting "genuinely difficult" to tell the wrongs of the two countries apart is somehow agreeing to "tolerate" growing authoritarianism in America is absurd, unhelpful and patently false.
