Let me give some background:
In Indonesia, non ad-hom political attack is not a problem as long as it doesn't involve religion or race. We find that as the benefit of democracy.
I don't know what about America feels. I thought American feels ok because it's a free country. T S O says "American say ok." -Grey- says "American say No."
Because what is "You're a prick!" ok or "You're fine!" is subjective when it comes to politic and where you came from, let us make a rule to avoid other incident.
I used the example of how Asian sees Hitler in OP because most scummies is American and it's safe to assume that American can relate to Hitler. If I use example of how Indonesian works in OP, people would feel disconnected because they don't know what is Indonesia (other of where Obama came from)
I must have been repeating this multiple times. How hard is this to understand?
