they executed 15 paramedics and buried them with their ambulances. we only know about it because one of the rescuers recorded it and they found the phone in his pocket when they discovered the mass grave. his last words: “forgive me, mom, I just wanted to help people”
This fascist clown pretending to be “shocked” that a Nanjing elder reacted strongly to kimonos is the real performance.
Because you know exactly what happened in that city.
You know who wore uniforms, not kimonos.
You know what those uniforms did to bodies, homes, children, and memory.
But instead of reckoning with that history, you hijack one man’s outburst to portray Chinese people as “irrational,” so Japan’s massacres past can stay conveniently out of frame.
That’s the trick, isn’t it?
Erase the cause.
Amplify the reaction.
Then act confused about the emotion you manufactured.
Nanjing is not a neutral city.
It is a cemetery with street names.
It doesn’t owe you politeness, aesthetic harmony, or cultural hospitality.
If you show up wearing symbols associated with the culture of a nation that once turned this place into ashes, the minimum requirement is humility, not influencer-style victimhood.
When you use Chinese wounds to gain engagement, you are not reporting.
You are reenacting.
I never imagined that saying 49 Yr old men shouldn't be having sex with 16 Yr old children would be controversial, yet there are men in the replies who were apparently simply to poor to attend epsteins island.

'first in my bloodline' trend makes me realize how rapidly society has changed for women in just a single generation.
They are literally the first in their entire lineage to do very basic things everyone now considers completely normal.
Funny how Norway comparison always leaves this part out:
Norway taxes oil companies far more aggressively than Alberta ever has.
Norway saves the revenue.
Norway didn’t build its model on perpetual tax cuts.
You can’t demand Norway’s wealth while rejecting Norway’s policies.
She drove 40 over the limit on the wrong side of the road and killed a family of four.
I don’t care that she’s 82.
There is no magic age at which you’re no longer responsible for your actions.
