And I won’t stand by, we won’t let up

Of course not, you’re an active aggressor. This isn’t a promise this is a threat.

I also think that they may be targeting germany because if I remember correctly, a significant chunk of american weapons are sent through US military bases in germany before arriving in the Middle East. Germany is weaker than the US but halting weapons transfers through there could still have a disproportionate ability to reduce israel’s ability to commit genocide.

That’s a fair point!

I think it could be the -ese at the end. “A chinese” has the same weird vibe whereas “a korean” sounds better, so I don’t think it’s (necessarily) the history of bigotry against East Asians that makes it sound off.

To me, the -ese ending kinda implies that the speaker is referencing a group. Words ending in -ese seem to lean more plural by default and using them to refer to singular individuals feels off, at least in my opinion. English is a very strange language though and I could very easily be wrong.

I’ve had so many weebs try to tell me that Japan doesn’t give a shit about copyright laws based solely on the way the names of certain stands from JoJo’s bizarre adventure had to be localized in the west lol.

but a Japanese in the group objected

This phrasing kinda has similar vibes to someone insistently calling trans people “the transgenders.” It’s such a weird, petty way to signal bigotry and ignorance.

We spent the whole time watching SJW cringe compilations on youtube.

These people are stuck in 2016, half of them probably had every clip they watched memorized.

They think they’re the smartest people in the room for recognizing an obvious political stunt when they’re actually dumb as fuck for thinking it’ll work.

If they can see it, everyone else can too, including the undecided conservatives they’re trying to persuade. The people who vote for presidential candidates based solely on how racist they are to migrants are still going to vote trump and they’ll love however trump chooses to respond. Biden is just throwing away immigrant votes and setting himself up to be dunked on because he’s a white reactionary who wants other white reactionaries to love him.

Not to mention how obviously inhumane it is. It’s not that leftists are too stupid to understand what biden is trying to do, they just oppose it because they have principles and a basic understanding of reality.

You realize how fucking stupid you sound arguing that a state has to hit some kind of deranged genocide quota before we can start treating it as a genocide right?

The absolute brain worms these people have are incredible. In another comment thread they’re crying and moaning about concentration camp comparisons because the number of dead Palestinians isn’t high enough yet. Apparently “learning from the holocaust” means that you have to wait until you hit the 6 million mark before you start doing something about it.

How the fuck can you be an adult and still believe in fantasies like “neutral journalism?” Of course you’re a fucking zionist kraut too, coming in here to lecture people about “antisemitically” opposing a genocide. You’re a fucking joke, people were mocking germans like you before you even showed up here.
