You’re absolutely right, the truthfulness of this sentence doesn’t teach us that someone is tribalistic by assuming it happened locally.
It’s only my assumption that an answer to “in the Middle-East” would be “Ah ? Ok, i was afraid for a while(, i thought it was on our side)” that made me thought that. I understand that it was received as an unfair accusation yet i included myself in this and found this assumption more interesting by its truthfulness.
As i wrote in the selftext :
In the end, i found this statement more interesting than it ought to be, as if it taught us something. Our actions are tribal/destructive and there’s enough proof for this, but this statement isn’t one of them.
Fuck no. I don’t agree that someone can be assumed selfish and tribalistic for not reading your mind when you vaguely refer to tragedy.
Let me try: there’s been a murder! Can you guess where it was??
