It was a point of comparison. I’m coming back to Lemmy from a long bout of using Instagram and the meme I posted is just a common reaction image to news about China. I didn’t mean to offend, sorry.

Looking at your comment history, you seem to lack both self awareness and reading comprehension. I said it was descended from a common language and culture, I made no claim on where the word or language actually originate.

Lol ok the U.S. is mandating cars have remote shutdown and cameras the watch you while you drive, and the ALPRs already track you everywhere. I’d rather the CCP have my data than any private U.S. company.

You know Hebrew and Arabic are both descended from an older, common semitic language from the same region? It’s a shared culture you twat of course they have similar words.
