It's kind of hard to take their criticism seriously when western sites and apps like the BBC or Instagram are blocked in China.
It is possible to be a hypocrite and right though. You're also missing some nuance however as the bill would force the sale of TikTok while China doesn't force the sale of Instagram, it just blocks it.
It's possible to be a hypocrite and wrong, too.
So because being a hypocrite makes one neither right or wrong it is irrelevant in the condemnation of one's point no?
Obviously not.
If we're this far in and you think it's obvious idk why you even respond to people. Might as well respond with "no u" or not at all.
What's obvious is that you have an axe to grind that goes beyond what I've been talking about.
Don't worry, I won't be responding to you anymore.
That still doesn't explain the "obviously not" and only shows you dislike to discuss anything and only want people to agree with you.
You might be having a rough day or maybe something is bothering you and I genuinely hope everything works out for you. It's just really hard to have genuine conversations with you if you refuse to elaborate and instead expect others to read your thoughts.
OK, one more response.
"Obviously not" refers to your question about whether being a hypocrite is irrelevant. It's obviously not irrelevant. You know this; the question wasn't even sincere. You're just being antagonistic for antagonism's sake. Hence your faux concern about whether I'm having a bad day, etc. You're not even trying to have a discussion; you're looking for a fight.
It was actual genuine concern and a desire for your day to be better. I'm sorry that you distrust empathy.
