On Threads, one argument I keep seeing Taiwanese people make regarding their perceived “overreaction” to China is “we’re not the one with all the power to annihilate the other side & keep making threats to actually do so”.
Feels like this argument could apply to Malaysian racial politics as well. Tired of seeing people using both-side-isms when one side has all the political power and can freely make threats of violence while everyone else has to grovel and try not to “overreact”.
