I was arguing with some idiot who thought the sole reason there are a lot more men than women in China is because parents are fucking murdering their female babies en masse because of the one child policy so that they can try again for sons. Some other moron chimes in to defend them, and I bring up as an example Cyprus and Armenia which have a similar divide, and I’m like, do you think they’re also murdering their female children because of a one child policy? AND MOTHERFUCKER IS LIKE “Well, judging from the stats, I’m guessing yes”. Like, Cyprus is in many regards extremely similar to Greece, practically the same country in some regards, and there are lots of Cypriots as well as Armenians here. It’s so fucking weird to see some idiot have such a braindead and offensive take about something so close to you. I can only imagine how it is for the people who actually live in “evil” countries the “west” actually hates.
I basically told him that and how stupid his take is, so he said some shit about how “uh well I don’t know about these countries specifically and I said I’m GUESSING which means I didn’t know for sure” and then some shit trying to gaslight me that I was actually the one talking about Cypriots murdering their babies.
American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.
Imagine being so committed to Blood Libel 2.0 that you’d rather expand it to countries you admit to knowing nothing about rather than question it.
The majority of reddit is American, so they have burger brain
You from Greece, eh? Ever rough up any AnCaps?
HAHAHAHA legendary copypasta. Unfortunately no, there are virtually no ancaps here and the imported ones are scarce. I don’t even know anyone who knows who Ayn Rand is besides a couple of terminally online people who are also leftists. Well, I know ONE libertarian who is a terminally online idiot and ALSO in New Democracy’s youth, advocating for more police literally everywhere, because that’s the main policy of ND these days. Great “libertarian”.

We were taught this in middle school
Yep, us too. Wasn’t even curriculum, my geography/history teacher just told us that’s what they did in China.
