Someone commented that sanctions wouldn’t work on China because sanctions were too harsh, and that the US should treat China as a parent does a child, educating them and encouraging them toward US goals so that sanctions were unnecessary.

I pointed out that China and the US do not remotely have a paternal relationship and a culturally American call to China would not elicit a culturally American response from China because of how different the cultures are.

Got banned for “Orientalism”.

    I agree. It’s better to block specific communities and establish a home on another instance, IMHO. Unless an instance is really bad or just spammy, I usually wont block it.

    Even with beehaw, there are some decent communities that are removed from the drama, believe it or not … (beehaw/c/animals as an example: https://lemmy.ca/post/14488834)
