  • It’s because the incompetent PM made the visa free for mainland Chinese. It’s going to get a lot worse in Thailand.

    The culture is the problem and the CCP insistent on keeping outdated traditions and social values keeps them in the past. China cultural values went to shit ever since the cultural revolution and the government has done nothing to better it, only doubling down and adding more problematic beliefs. There were needs to be selfish and to deceive for survival, but with the kind of government the CCP is instead of that slowly going away after the worst is over you have that continue to be ingrain into future generations to the point it becomes an identity. Then add the contemporary dose of propaganda and the sudden increase in progress and you have the superiority complex.











  • I don’t think this question is that different from asking whether a cat ever wonder why a dog might want to play with it. A cat probably assume something, which might not even be the same as another cat. It probably also depends on their personality and experience. Kind of like how humans often assume certain things without thinking about it too deeply, like the motivation of another person, even if that assumption is wrong.


  • The abusive relationship is with Reddit, not the community they moderate. A more accurate analogy is tolerating the abusive person because you don’t want to completely lost contact with many other people you care about just because of that one guy who they’re still friend with. The answer then become less clear cut than just cut off the toxic person. It becomes a question of when the abusive person becomes toxic enough that even the prospect of keeping in touch with other people you care about isn’t worth it any more. That is going to be different for everyone and there’s no right answer as it completely depends on the person. It is still possible that someone misjudge and they’d be better off leaving earlier, but what that earlier point is still has to be decided first according to their own circumstances.

    To illustrate my point. Some people believe it’s the right thing to do to leave Reddit much earlier than this year, such as when they let /r/the_donald operated freely. In this case here because you decided to stay until 1-2 months ago, you are also part of the problem that “stayed and helped Reddit build Reddit”.

    I think this post simplified the situation in a way that misrepresented the motivation of some moderators.
