    Congrats on that btw, it’s those things that give me a tiny shred of hope in humanity.

    But the “uneducated” part is not necessary, come on. Just because someone on the other side of the planet has probably not investigated the finer details of your domestic politics such as what social media platform was used to organise protests?

      Just posting what I replied to the other person –

      After being retrospective I agree it’s uncalled for but I am just tired of western bias of many social and political issues

      this sounds like being proud of a western bias. we are the fortunate. it should be our duty to consider perspectives that have been disadvantaged and where information about this side of the internet doesn’t flow as freely as it does in the first-world culture.

      was saying “uneducated” wrong? sure. but who was responsible for the frustration and misunderstanding that led to using that word in the first place?
