    I think you two are missing each other. One is regionally focussed and responding to the immediacy of a regional crisis; the rhetoric is to encourage action that will alleviate the regional crisis, including an appeal to globalism. The other is enforcing a global viewpoint that tries to trump any regional concerns out of principle and the rhetoric is aimed at the global forum that is lemmy.

    Horse vs pony. Whatever, people.

    The quibbles over the categorization niceties turn into accusations of racism. Which may or may not be active in this situation but the evidence is not established well enough for the accusation, which is simply a rhetorical trump card here.

    Sadly, the state of discourse is so poisonous that ethnicity, which is real, is being swapped out for race, which is not real.
