I’m reading a lot about how people are just generally shit these days. You know what fixes a bad attitude real quick? A good, genuine throttling.
That prick in the office? Just catch em alone after lunch and choke them for 10 seconds or so while you quietly whisper threats in their ear - problem solved.
Little shits bullying your kid at school? Choke that little fucker, then go choke their parents too for good measure.
You don’t even have to do it that hard, it’s not like you’re trying to kill anyone. Just scare em a little.
Choking works, let’s bring it back and make the world a better place.
Lol, that’s just a human trait. Nothing exclusive to any region or civilization.
I was born in China to Han-Chinese parents. When I grew up, I was told “成者為王，敗者為寇” (Literally: Victors become kings, Losers become bandits"… Basically means the same as “Might makes right”)
Any criticism of the status quo and leaders is met with that.
The “没办法” (“Nothing we can do about it”) attitude lmfao… so prevalent in China…
Sounds the same meaning as しょうがない (Shō ga nai) (“it can’t be helped”) in Japanese
Or “c’est la vie” in French, or “is what it is” in English. I’m sure most languages have a version of this as we’ve all lived in societies.
But being a bandit is not right, I doubt your parents were elevating being an immoral thief, for example. That just sounds like a descriptive sentence, not a prescriptive one. And of course we all have the capacity for selfish evil, some societies have it as their main value/MO. Chinese people, from my experience in the world and with many Chinese immigrants, are very prosocial, family oriented, collectivist and avoid violence. Literally never have I ever seen or heard of anyone get harassed or violently mistreated by Chinese immigrants either in my own country or the ones I’ve lived in. 🤷
