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.

      Anyone can make their own website and post whatever they want.Ho

      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.

      Also free speech is being able to say what you want to whomever you want. Like protesting.

      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.

            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.

            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.

                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.

      In the capitalist world the rich and the poor are both equally free to sleep under a bridge! Likewise anybody is free to start or buy a billion dollar media press outlet or social media giant, that’s why it’s important that no restrictions are ever placed on false and harmful reactionary speech!
