  • Again referring to westerners as a block without nuance, while thinking you understand nuance while westerners dont. Of course context is important. In context your comments are I’ll informed and insulting, while condescending without the understanding to have such grounds.

    Yes, race is a construct, as I pointed out. Ethnicity is too, more by definition. China also has xenophobia and racism. Ask Tibet. Ask the Uighurs. Han Chinese is not the ibky Chinese. Ask Taiwan or hong Kong nationals. That’s not news to anyone.

    Your reply doesnt add anything useful, so well leave it there.





  • No, you take your country back with violent rebellion if needed, but ideally by peaceful means. However, given that Britain has not invaded any country in our lifetime, this doesn’t apply to us.

    Yourbrussia example is relevant as that’s exactly what Ukraine is doing, with support from the UK, among others. Manynukrainian refugees are in Ireland. Mynparebts are hosting a family.

    Hitting back is not the same as fostering deep seated prejudices against people who had nothing to do with past injustices your ancestors faced, even if they may have benefited from it, indirectly, through a more wealthy society.



  • Fuse box for one line. Fuses weren’t put in as standard when electricity was introduced. Many old houses just had live wires coming in with no breaker like today. For expensive electrical items added when there was no fuse, an electrician with install it with a dedicated fuse. If the electrical system has been updated where it enters the house, it may no longer be needed. However, if it is on a different circuit, it may be. Old fuse boxes were a bunch of replaceable physical fuses. Nowadays they are breaker switches for easy resetting and less waste.

    Anyway, if whatever is connected to this gets a power surge, the fuse could trip and you would need to replace it. However it is not a plug, to add a different device or appliance, but just a safety pass through for the wire coming out the other end.
