more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
And China’s a genocidal imperialist totalitarian state if we apply the same standards.
The fact is legally speaking you currently are vastly less free in China. It’s moronic to claim otherwise. This is easily proven by looking at your rights on speech for example.
China is less free than most countries. China has a state that forces inequality because at their core the Chinese Communist Party is hypocritical and seeks to oppress the masses
They arrest anyone in the US who protests against the actions of the state.
But I’ll remember when I’m dying from lack of affordable food, housing, and healthcare, that at least I was able to share a few more of my hot takes online than other people.
Anyway, I’m not defending China. I hope you learn to get past the propaganda. It’s quite liberating.
I have protested against the state nany times. I have directly stated to Governor Mitt Romney, who was in office at the time, that I hoped he was a single term governor. I haven’t been arrested for that.
I have protested every military conflict the USA has been involved in since 1991 and Im not in jail.
Stating China is less free is a fact that’s not propaganda.
Less free in this one aspect perhaps, more free in others. Not really “freedom” when we have so many houseless people, people senselessly perishing from lack of healthcare and food, etc.
Also, it sounds like you were protesting for change within the system. People have drastically different experiences when they protest the system itself. They may even be arrested or deported, which is something I’ve personally seen happen. Talk to the anti-genocide protestors on college campuses about this “freedom” of yours. Hell, there are even laws against boycotting a genocidal regime in an organized fashion.
