Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.
They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.
fucking shit this is so disengenuous. There is a difference between MAINSTREAM media and just the general posting of average people online. If you think they give a fuck what you post online I recommend you go to weibo and actually take a look, you will find people posting all sorts of shit.
The only thing they truly give a fuck about are the mainstream and people of real influence, celebrities, the rich, etc.
You are out of your mind if you don’t think protesting happens in China. It’s provably false in seconds of effort to look it up. What you’re not allowed to do is advocate for the destruction of the Chinese state, just like you’re not allowed to do that in every fucking country, including the west. There are protests for all kinds of shit every day otherwise. Workers rights, improving conditions, fixing shit, etc etc.
Of fucking course am I allowed to do that.
Also, like I said go to bed, it’s very late in the UK.

You can’t even advocate for the assassination of a single leader in the US, let alone the whole government.
Why would I advocate for the assassination of literally anyone? I am not crazy. Also I am not American.
So you are happy with the fact that your head of state is performing genocide against the poor, the marginalized, and citizens of the 3rd world? That’s a bit crazy man ngl
Yeah, that’s a bit overblown.
I won’t even make a proper response to such a crazy ass hyperbole statement.
Likewise my son, just because you deny reality doesn’t make it go away.
I like how you instantly backed down from “I can call for the destruction of the state!” to “I can’t, but I wouldn’t want to anyway.”
Then dewit lmao stop pestering people who keep your ubereats bugman lifestyle going.
I don’t live in a police state so I don’t feel the need to protest.
But yes I think the discussion can end here.
I hope that one day you get that freedom of press and speech is a good thing, until then, have a nice day.
“My country is better because it gives me the right to do something that I would openly never do nor recommend of my fellow citizens of that country”
Just because I don’t feel the need to do it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do it. Huge difference. If you don’t see the difference you should really go somewhere else.
Actually it does mean that you wouldn’t do it in the sense that you won’t do it now or in the future, by your own admission! What you do in your imagination in some Red Dawn alternate reality doesn’t fucking matter and is not a good grounding for discussing political theory.
So I should start a riot just because I can?
Do you imagine rioting is legal?
What I’m saying is that a right that you can be confident you won’t ever use (and would discourage your countrymen from using on the same basis) is one that doesn’t matter, especially in the absence of rights that do have a material impact, like a right to housing, where China is imperfect but incomparably better than the US and friends. Fun fact: Venezuela is among the best in the world in this respect despite its poverty.
Ok I’m not gonna read the context here because ain nobody got time for this much internet bullshit, but
YES. ALWAYS.
You absolutely live in a police state, it’s just not directed at you, rather at unhoused and immigrants
The circus monkey who does not move to escape will never feel it’s chains.
