That's not great. Didn't that government just recently dissolve its intermediate apparatus so there was only local and federal government, with most powers and liberties given locally?

Edit: here's where i'd heard it from. I'll have to rematch it to find out more, and see what other news has come out.

Cue jokes about "Asians have small peepees" stereotype.

We could have just shamed that person, if they showed up. By being the person cutting ahead of this hypothetical 2000s-era middle-schooler, you have become the person other people are attempting to shame.

There is a line between "preempting" and "perpetuating."

Sorry Plato, it's literally a joke post about an asian currency, the dong, shrinking, what is there to preempetuate and philosophize?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The post is circumstantial and immediate ("the dong is shrinking"), so it speaks to a ongoing condition. Further, the fact that it's Asian is not a core part of the joke, so it doesn't play into negative stereotypes. If the currency belonged to Uzbekistan, it'd be the same amount funny.

My comment was saying that the only people who would make the joke you sought to be "inb4" are bigots that the community would have already downvoted and moved on from. If you don't know what "preempt" means, you can search an online dictionary.

You coming into the comments to dribble out not even the stereotype, but a lazy reference to a tired stereotype about Asians, is a worse form of the post. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt while also seeding you an 'out' from the direct interpretation that your comments reeks of "I'm too lazy to even commit to my negative stereotypes".

I'm no longer inclined to do that.
