Reply to comment by ThunderKant_1 in UK bans Chinese cameras from government buildings by Alvin_Chen

But then the question becomes: what would criticism of things like this that wasn’t “distraction” look like? It sounds like under your definition we could never focus on things like this until internal problems are 100% solved.

You make a fair point. I guess you can’t really infer this in every situation as an outside observer. Of course not all kinds of critique is just distraction. I feel like in the case of the UK right now it is obvious enough to make such a statement, if you look at for example which topics were important during the election, but in other cases where it isn’t as clear I suppose there is no way to definitely know what’s sincere and what’s not as an outside observer.
