Hmm yes very smart. Add a useless platitude to a thread you have no idea about or stake in. No background reading or nuance here, just thought terminating cliches! I wonder why nobody is praising your amazing intellect.
Dude, you must understand that many things in life are subtle and depend heavily on context and history. There are many words, gestures, dates, etc. that has special meaning to certain groups of people. The meanings are not intrinsic - they could be changed or forgotten or whatever - but they are also quite real, and often powerful and important.
Your original statement was a bit of a nothingburger. Yeah, people / countries can change. whoop-di-do. Nothing wrong with saying it. Maybe some people will appreciate your thoughts on that. But it probably is not going to add much to a discussion that has everything to do with cultural context.
On the other hand, in your continued followups you are somehow trying to defend the ‘wisdom’ of your original post. These follow ups are kind of insulting. You apparently know nothing at all about this topic, and yet for some reason you are insisting that your views are relevant. Why are you doing that? I suggest that you let your idea stand on its own merit without you fighting a battle to try to defend it. We don’t need this conflict.
Oh yes of course, you were just saying some words. You freely admit not knowing the context but it didn’t occur to you to, idk, educate yourself first? Nah, more important to just say words because idk, freezed peaches or something.
And yet you decided to weigh in anyway. Amazing.
I made a general statement.
They have a point. Why play devil’s advocate on a subject you admit to knowing nothing about?
Because I know enough to make a general statement which holds true in any circumstance.

You state that nuance and circumstance can make the statement false? Present it.
No, I don’t. It’s just meaningless. You might as well have posted “water is wet”.

TLDR Version: “You are correct but I will never say that outright”
Ok. So earlier I said you must understand that many things are subtle. But I guess you haven’t yet got to that yet. Think on it.
Oh yes of course, you were just saying some words. You freely admit not knowing the context but it didn’t occur to you to, idk, educate yourself first? Nah, more important to just say words because idk, freezed peaches or something.
This is why no one likes Seppos.
