Get the gonif mug.A Hebrew/Yiddish word, often used (and spelled various ways) in English; particularly used in southern California. There is no exact English equivalent word; `operator' is maybe the closest. A gonif operates on the shadowy borders of illegality and/or impropriety, and gets away with it, and is not quite an outright crook. The word seems to combine proper moral disapproval with sneaking admiration. Reference: 'The Joys of Yiddish,' by Leo Rosten.
Seymour was an accomplished and clever gonif. He could con birds out of trees, and could figure out how to game any bureaucratic system within a few minutes.

Chris: Tiananmen 1989 was a secret CIA operation and the protestors DESERVED that! Look at how lovely these Uyghur re-education camps are, now the women are no longer baby-making machines! Fuck the West even tho I live in Amerikkka with no plans to ever live on mainland China! Long live Karl Marx, hero of Chinese people!
Henry: Okay gongfei. As a Chinese I can only proudly support the one and only real China that is Republic of China! Long live Sun Yat-sen's 3 Principles of the People for a China that is "of the people, by the people, for the people" where "people are the emperor"! Expel Marx-Lenin, revive China! 🇹🇼
