As a German, I consider that a very weird stance to have.
I try to keep up with the military involvement of my country, I'd guess other people in other countries would do the same.
Tho I guess in contrast to you I actually get to interact with a whole bunch of Iraqis, Afghanis, Syrians, and other nationalities out of the MENA region.
People out of HK are a rather non-existing sight at the local refugee reception center.

The responsibilties and attachments of a superorganism like a society differ too much from that of an individual's. It is so easy to let communcation break down when people discuss both of those things at the same time.

What’s made in Hong Kong? iPhones and electronics? I feel like most of the stuff in my house that has a “made in X” tag says something like China, Bangladesh, or Taiwan.

I own a lot of old video game systems that were made in Hong Kong, for example.
I have no connection to Iraq personally.
I do not collectively harbor guilt and constantly stress about the horrible things that the country I choose to reside in has done in their past.
I have Hong Kong products in my house, and I interact with people who were born in Hong Kong all the time.
The same cannot be said for Iraqi products or people.
That is the point I am trying to make.
