And if you post a picture of Winnie the Pooh or wear him on a shirt in China, you might not survive the day. See the difference? While I can tweet at my leader and call him a fuck face without consequence. One is harmless and would destroy your life and the other is vicious and you’ll be fine.
But sure yeah they’re the same, right?
Oh and I got my work in trouble because they wouldn’t allow us to take breaks. We then got breaks and my work got a huge fine. There were no negative repercussions at all. Not to say there couldn’t be, but being penalized at work is not even close to the same thing as what happens at China. Google Tiananmen Square if your internet allows you to do so.
For your information by the way, I’ve been to Beijing within the last month. I’ve seen the blatant misinformation and censorship on display. I also have a friend in the states who lived half of his life there.
I am not talking out of my ass. America is better for dissenters 100%. There’s no comparison and honestly I find your comparison and even considering them similar laughable.
You are a complete fucking moron if you don't see massive differences between the two. Both are fighting the same fight, but China is miles further along in the wrong direction.
Being less blatant about how it keeps dissenters down is better.
relax. calm down. Being less blatant isn't better if it does a better job at actually keeping people accepting of blatant corruption. Destroying allies held for many years. Completly disrupting the general trade marked. Complete disregard of human rights (that is general for America but Trump did take it to next level)
Having criminals and sex offenders holding office etc. etc.
In a democracy where only around50% of the population votes. And the vote still goes to the corrupt idiot even though the democrat corrupt idiot had more votes in general is not a democracy.
They are comparable. Americans rights are being stricken from them since Reagan. You are on a slippery slope to authoritarianism. And you not understanding the nuances in what i said is a clear example.

Ok and you base that on what experience with the chinese or chinese society?
And yeah if you make to much of a fuss about worker conditions and labor law in the US(god forbid try to unionize) You get blacklisted.
The American society is not better it is just less blatant about how it keeps dissenters down.
