All of the racists spreading anti-Chinese shit in the wake of COVID-19 was extremely disappointing.. I've known a handful of Chinese people online and (shock and awe) they're completely normal human beings, just like everyone else, not deserving of fear or judgement just because of things that are completely out of their power, such as things the government does, diseases spreading, or anything else that isn't the common Chinese person's fault.

It's more of that mental laziness though, painting all people from China with a broad brush is just easier for some people, even though it's so callous and old-world..

It might be not related, but I feel that people should try keep their critical thinking and cool during harsh times like this one. I tend to look at the both sides from various sources((not only because, I started study politics this year, heh)), do my own research to see how everything goes here. Sadly, it always leads to conclusion, that some really rich uncles benefit the most from social chaos, not your everyday people, who just want to live undisturbed and peacefully. I hate violence and that fact "divide and conquer" still exists in this age. In the end, we are all connected, regardless our differences and views, even if we refuse to see it.
 

Once again, I'm sorry if it doesn't fit this conversation. 

Divide and conquer unfortunately still works so well because nowadays manipulation is still present, if perhaps not more than ever with all the news outlets and channels trying to push in one direction or another, and the fact that the differences between the classes have gotten only bigger and bigger as time went on. The rich got even richer, and the poor got poorer, for such is this shitty system we're living in, built in such a way that we end up eating each other for often smaller things, while the rich sit down and laugh at us and the chaos the poor are causing, ultimately benefiting no-one - guess who's gonna pay for all the damage (hint: definitely not them, but still us).
