China simps will find a way to say this is also exactly like what America would do

Treason and sedition is a no-no around the world...

There's a difference between going "yo government y'all suck" and "let's take up arms and overthrow the government"

"Someone will find a way to make this about America" he said, immediately making it about America.

He was trying to cross a border illegally. So yeah, its exactly what america would do, except maybe they would have shot him.

Yeah the American government always imprisons those who make fun of them. Exactly the same as this for sure.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm sure the Chinese government would freely admit to that being the reason lol

Chapter 10 in this book gives lots of examples of political repression in US where activists have been harassed, arrested, and even assassinated by the state https://archive.org/details/DemocracyForTheFew16147062951821

The fact that you think US government doesn't do these things says a lot about the effectiveness of western brainwashing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago
