No matter what your opinions of this demonstration are, I do appreciate that we have the freedom to engage in such protests. Would such a gathering be possible in Putin’s Russia, or in China under the CCP’s rule?
Would such a gathering be possible in Putin’s Russia
idk maybe, maybe not. Russia is a capitalist oligarchy like the US. And the US has been cracking down on protests under the context of “muh private property” for weeks now.
or China under the CCP rule?
Yes, absolutely. This notion that they don’t allow protests in China or Cuba is nuts, there’s probably more protests in China than in the US.
Eglin isn’t even trying any more
Entertain for a second the idea that the Bad Countries won’t let you protest. So they think it’s a choice between:
What exactly is the supposed difference?
…Weren’t they fist pumping the war protests in Russia a couple years ago?
in liberal memory all those protestors were shot and killed and then forced to drink novichok and then dropped out of a skyscraper.
Wait they drink it after they’re killed? Truly barbaric!

They have to pretend protests in china don’t exist because protests in china usually lead to the government changing things
