"The Semitic languages are a branch of the Afroasiatic language family. They include Arabic, [...] Hebrew, [...]" - The literal Wikipedia page on Semitic languages

This is stuff you can search in 3 seconds, but you continue to argue, fruitlessly. Why? What motivates you to spend your time on this? The point is lost.

It was a point of comparison. I'm coming back to Lemmy from a long bout of using Instagram and the meme I posted is just a common reaction image to news about China. I didn't mean to offend, sorry.

Looking at your comment history, you seem to lack both self awareness and reading comprehension. I said it was descended from a common language and culture, I made no claim on where the word or language actually originate. You come off as a contrarian troll only commenting for the sake of arguing, I think you are projecting a bit in calling me an ass.

Diesel is already drying up. Local gas stations in my area have already stopped selling it at some locations, moreso in coastal cities as well.

Yes, just like the auto industry in the United States. The only difference is that the state also directs their companies to do good things rather than just bailing them out.

Lol ok the U.S. is mandating cars have remote shutdown and cameras the watch you while you drive, and the ALPRs already track you everywhere. I'd rather the CCP have my data than any private U.S. company.

You know Hebrew and Arabic are both descended from an older, common semitic language from the same region? It's a shared culture you twat of course they have similar words.
