You forgot the part where it says 'and try to change the way I live'. When you're mischaracterizing someone, you're supposed to crop the context to fit your fake narrative. Otherwise anyone with a brain can see through it. Good luck with being a witness who can't even figure out how to read the rules for a community. You can't play the pathetic victim and community leader game at the same time. Pick one. Also you're grossly misinformed on the Taiwan issue. Yeah they say they're part of China but only because they would get invaded. China even got bent out of shape when a C list celebrity 'accidentally' called Taiwan a country. There's a reason why the US is helping give money for defense to Taiwan and why the CCP's army practices drills to invade Taiwan. People who speak out in favour of a free Hong Kong or Taiwan do so out of a place of compassion and it's not a right wing idea. In 2019 Blitzchung spoke out for a free Hong Kong and got censored by blizzard which resulted in blizzard forever changing the way they broadcast tournaments.
Dylan is super leftist. He trolled the J6 rally. It would be good to stay informed on these things if you just want to learn Mandarin and not be a communist stan because the talking points you mention signal that way. It's a complex issue so I want to extend as many olive branches as I can and not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Again I want to reaffirm that I think it myopic of Phil to take action against someone learning a language but theres additional context people were trying to give you and I think the way you came out swinging was not the innocent probe you're making it out to be. I do want to be charitable in that I know getting downvoted like that can be emotionally jarring and it's not surprising that you would react in an emotionally charged way. I just hope when the emotions subside that we can have a rational conversation in hindsight about how this matter could have been handled better, especially by someone who wants to be respected as a witness.
The threatened ME AND WHO I KNOW OF DEATH! In a public space!
You, my friend, is the one ignoring DEATH THREATS! I only posted about language. You are pulling out excuses for racism and hate speech.
Culture is subjective. The Europeans changed the way natives tribes here lived. The USA changed the way the world behaves politically and culturally. He pulled the “change the way I live” card just to get away with a fucking death threats and racism!
I am brazilian and my country stood neutral throughout history and I support this position. My country has no power to influence world politics. My country only joined WWII when the nazis attacked us in the oceans.
I'm not ignoring death threats. You're just jumping the shark here attacking PoB and creating FUD without any real research. Phil is not the owner of PoB and you're making baseless claims about it when he is just a stakeholder. This should be very simple to understand for a witness who has had an account for 5 years. If you only made this about Phil and how much of a cunt he's being, then you'd be right. But you came here and made a shitload of baseless claims on top that is very irresponsible. I even tried to give you context and agreed with you about how wrong Phil is about equating learning a language with being a communist sympathizer but the problem is that you're stooping to that level of false equivalency with some of your tacked on statements and you can't protect them all under this umbrella of anti-racism even if I were to agree with you about Phil being racist.
I am willing to accept that it is a bad take to defend Phil here. I think its possible due to him being anti-communist and autistic that he made a mistake and is taking this stand against communism too far and it's hard to defend. He was trying to be more empathetic but completely 180d after azircon attacked him. This issue is affecting Hive in a larger manner than just him and I feel like its tearing the whole ecosystem down. https://ecency.com/hive-110786/@jasonliberty/blockchain-bullying-a-new-low-or-petty-tyrants-true-colors-are-showing
I don't like this cycle of abuse. Azircon lashes out against Phil which leads to him lashing out against the OP which leads to him lashing out against PoB with baseless accusations. Death threats are serious and I didn't mean to ignore them, I just thought that there was additional context. Standing your ground is different than murder but getting lost in these semantics is probably not helpful. I'm also autistic and make mistakes in this way which is why I was trying to be charitable to Phil but I am willing to stop defending him if we can get to the meat of what I'm talking about because this is a serious matter as well and it has nothing to do with defending Phil's actions.
@rawbe I read your discussion. You seems like a sensible person. I don't know much about you. All I know is you can express your ideas into words. As a non native English speaker, I often got muted by language barriers. I am increasing my vocabulary but its still hard for me. If I reach at your point of explaining your ideas into words, I will consider my self a luckiest person.
Wow I appreciate the compliment. I'm actually a TESOL teacher and have done tutoring in the past. That's partially why I became interested in this matter to begin with since it started with tutoring. If there's anything I can do to help you with vocabulary or anything English related feel free to tag me on Hive anytime and I will do my best to assist you on your mission.
@rawbe i followed you. Reading blogs from someone who talks clearly at this level will be enough to get help from you. Always speak your mind. As a non native English speaker believe me your way of talking impressed me alot and it is non of those spam messages praising other as you can check my comments on hive.
I don't know how to express my self. I am again muted by language barriers. Sorry

Phil is a racist and you are only defending a friend. No problem

It is full blown racistism.
