Wow, I’m sure glad I don’t live in China. I could never live somewhere people aren’t allowed to think freely or live as individuals!!

      Definitely, it’s like I could never live somewhere people aren’t allowed to think freely or live as individuals!!

      • Absolutely. The thing I value above all else, including having free housing, free healthcare, free education, free water, free heating, free electricity, free Internet access, and a guaranteed dignified job with a promise of gradually decreased working hours as automation becomes increasingly prevalent, is being able to think freely and live as an individual!!

          Imagine living in a country where you can’t think freely and live as an individual. Excuse me I’d like to report some authoritarianism plz.

          • Fully agree. I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would want to live in a country where everything you do is controlled by the state. In fact, I reported my neighbour to the police yesterday for spreading Russian propaganda and trying to destroy our vibrant democratic way of life.

              It’s almost like they don’t get the concept of living your life as an individual who can freely think bound by the constraints of credit scores and a ruling class.

                  Literally, freedom is work, individualism is subjugation under capital. How can they not get this?

                  • Absolutely brilliantly put, fellow individual. Truly spectacular. Couldn’t have said it better myself. If I’m not free to not have a choice in whether to be exploited by one or more capitalists, I might as well have no freedom whatsoever.
