Said it before and I will say it again, this boy is the epitome of SDE. I am so glad I never touched WP even with a stick. Hopefully this will spark interest in static sites generators.
Not the GP but this question has me wondering what you mean, precisely.
75% of the comment is just things that happened, so there's nothing to "believe" there. For the rest it's basically two statements:
1. Ultra-nationalism is on the rise in China
2. Going to China as an outsider is ill-advised
OK so #1 may or may not be true but either way is an objective thing, it's either rising or it's not. So again, not really anything to be "believed," although you could certainly think it's moving one direction and just be wrong about it.
So the charitable reading of the only remaining statement is essentially "you probably shouldn't go to China if you're a foreigner" which yeah is an opinion, and not one I'd take particularly seriously, but it's also not outlandish that someone would believe that. There are plenty of places in the world to visit and if there's a place with a higher chance the locals don't actually want me there, I'll go elsewhere.
Most of the time when I see questions like this asking if someone "actually" believes something, the implied second part of the question is either "or are you a troll" or "because no rational person could possibly believe that," neither of which seem appropriate in this instance.
lmfao my dude stop acting like a pariah, it's pathetic. You 100% brought this on yourself. Never thought anyone could be so reckless when extorting people.
People often rather live in a world they believe in versus the one that really exists. Think the term is Cognitive Distortions.
Reality, Musk's X-Twitter free speech policy is about his personal tastes.[1] [2]
My personal taste, I cannot support anyone that willfully pushes miss-information nor narratives that detract words and statements from their actual meanings. Miss-information, tell a lie long enough people will believe it. This how conversion therapy works and the movie "But I'm a Cheerleader" highlights this farce.
Riddle of free speech? Doesn't a Venn diagram of free speech include information and miss-information? I never said free speech does not include miss-information.
What is Information and what is Miss-information?
Example: "Vaccines make people autistic." Is that information or miss-information? If vaccines did make people autistic then anyone who was given a vaccine would be autistic. This means all US military personal are autistic because they must be vaccinated to remain in service. Yet 100% of them are not autistic, nor are all the individuals that received a cold, flu, and COVID vaccines.
What about a politician making the statement, "I know more about the Middle East than anyone else.". Wouldn't know nuances about cultural slang and difference in regional dialects be a requirement to make that statement true? Wouldn't that persona also need to know Arabic and Hebrew with the ability to pick truthful declarations over sarcasm? With more context, that statement was made by a US politician.
Let's re-phrase that statement, "I know more about computers than anyone else.", which defines no one in the world! Even the smartest people that know a lot about computers cannot possibly know everything.
How would you decided if "Vaccines make people autistic.", that a politician is truthful when saying "I know more about the Middle East than anyone else.", and the person next to you saying "I know more about computers than anyone else." are information or miss-information?
To re-phrase my personal statement, I do not respect those that push miss-information.
