Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

Wouldn’t say I’m dying on any hill here, only saying there are very few people whose deaths should be celebrated, and these are not those people.

I’ve got no love for billionaires, and obviously this story overshadowing the migrant boat sinking in Greece is infuriating, but I’m really not a fan of the glee so many people on social media are expressing at the deaths of these five people.

Also, on another note, I seriously cannot get over the fact that the late CEO of the company, Stockton Rush, has the absolute perfect team name for a minor league football team from central California.

If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.

I feel that maybe you’re reading my question as ‘critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc’ which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it’s possible that painting all critique with a broad ‘xenophobia’ brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?
