Question about edit to this comment https://www.brownpundits.com/2019/02/11/on-the-difficulties-of-cross-cultural-communication/#comment-30267 : It seems to lack a reply button. How so? Is it because it is nested too deep (prompting @Razib to respond by editing), or is it because it was explicitly disabled?

ok. not clear here but wutevz….

that was me. Bharotshontan engages in a lot of bad faith. or, he’s really stupid. i think it’s the former tbh.

I see – they make their claim that “bad things” came to india from british/ muslims *while transparently posing as if they are SJWs who actually want some fantasy-land utopia of egalitarianism*? And such posturing is the irritant?

[waste of time. i’d rather argue about real stuff instead of trying to “win on points”]

A bit confused – Is the above comment (which reads “[NO, YOU’RE A LYING ASSHOLE]”) an edit by @razib or was it from the original commenter?

why the fuck are you using quotations? no one said “saying untruth.”

here’s another pet peeve: if you use quotations, ACTUALLY FUCKING QUOTE SOMETHING AND DON’T MAKE UP A PARAPHRASE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith

“Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is double mindedness or double heartedness in duplicity, fraud, or deception.[1] It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception.”

straight out saying that indians on average engage in a certain type of behavior is deceptive? are you fucking kidding me, i just came out and said what the generalization was. i didn’t hide the observation.

you may say the stereotype is not founded, but it’s not bad faith. i admitted what i’ve seen.

are you stupid, or just liars?

all “bad things” came to india from muslims and british. but when they are trying to really make a big hit that is cross-cultural they focus on the british since it appeals to subalternists and how they destroyed the idyll that was india. but the reality is that a lot of these people, like me, take for granted that a certain type of hierarchical organic and conservative society is probably natural and optimal (unlike the SJWs who want some fantasy-land utopia of egalitarianism).
