| > your words mean very little if it's based off dubious sources like Adrian Zenz My words? I don’t think I’ve ever quoted anyone by that name, let alone stated an opinion based on such a source. > To China you westerners look like the guy on the higher moral ground “You Westerners?” I’m me. I have opinions of my own. I act as an individual. I neither support nor condone many of the actions taken by my government or other people in my country—I’m frequently disgusted by their actions. We are not a single entity; we are a loose collection of individuals who disagree more often than we agree. I do not represent “the West,” nor does “the West” represent me. I’m strongly opposed to arbitrary groupings of people based on factors they cannot reasonably control. > yelling slogan after slogan together with other like minded people but when approached with facts continue to repeat the same slogans. What slogans? I’m not part of some hivemind; I develop my own opinions based on a wide array of sources, and those opinions are in constant flux. I do not subscribe to a single philosophy or political ideal. > Why trust an institution that lies? Which institution? I don’t trust any media outlet or governmental institution to provide objective, unbiased information. I question everything. I question my government, I question China’s government. What have any of them done to deserve my trust? Nothing. Nothing at all. |
