soumerd_retardataire@lemmy.world 1 year agoAs i said previously :
There’s been a bombing
Place is implied. Could be anywhere in the west, if i’m in France it works for the south//north of France, the United Kingdom, America, Australia, or any country i feel like i belong to, that is in my tribe.
But if you say afterwards :
There’s a bombing in some place
And that place is in the Middle-East, or in Afghanistan, we would say “yeah, of course, like yesterday and probably tomorrow, no need to ne surprised”
But thanks for wanting to correct me, it’s nice to have a chat with other people than from Lemmygrad for once.

do you know how the English language works? The place hasn’t been implied at all. And thus it default to local when there are no further question to clarify.
soumerd_retardataire@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And what you consider local is the countries you consider belonging to, i.e., the west, ⟳ .

Dude of course local means local to me and with that I mean my town/city in my country on the continent I live on. Not the West or the East or the North or South. That’s a pretty limiting world view you have.

Interesting, so criticising our tribalism makes me the one with a limited world view, how so ?

That was an incredibly long “no”.

And your answer wasn’t a counter-argument
