These are the Same mfs who called all-chinese people are brainwashed
Using my meme I posted a day ago, still freaking relevant to the topic:
fun fact: that post was what reminded me of this comic
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!!
Couldn’t agree more. 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.
I agree one hundred percent. If a few dozen people aren’t free to do whatever they want at the expense of everyone else, do any of us really have freedom? The answer is “no”, of course.
Couldn’t agree more. I could never live in a place that restricts my freedom to die of covid. Eff u China!!!
Oh, absolutely. If I don’t have the freedom to spread a likely fatal disease to vulnerable portions of my country’s population, am I really free? No, I think not.
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!!
I agree, 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!!
That’s a very good point.
We’re so lucky to live in a country where ppl are allowed to express unpopular opinions. Thank god we don’t live in china.
This is completely on point. I may not have any unpopular opinions to express, but I’d rather be homeless, disease-ridden, and constantly on the brink of starvation than unable to express those nonexistent opinions!
than unable to express those nonexistent opinions!
The best part is that you have you way to significantly express them since you don’t have billions to buy a media firm or a politician
Yeah, but I can still express my opinion as a YouTube comment! They definitely can’t post comments in China. A sexpat YouTuber told me that that’s illegal.
Another free thinker. Glad to have you on board with us other individuals. Do you like Marvel, Star Wars or Harry Potter per chance?
Of course they do. Everyone in our civilized, free-thinking societies loves Marvel®, Star Wars® and Harry Potter®. Wouldn’t be very free-thinking if we didn’t, would we?
Glad to hear!! Have you checked out the mandelorian or squid game yet? They are both brilliant critiques of communist systems.
I’ve heard that Squid Game is literally what life is like in North Korea, so I don’t feel the need to watch it. I haven’t heard anything like that about the Mandalorian, but it does make sense; after all, George Lucas originally modeled the Empire after a brutally dictatorial communist regime.
Exactly, in fact if you look closely you can see how the rebel firebird symbol is reminiscent of the US flag while the empire is more akin to the hammer and sickle.
Oh, I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I should have expected as much from a great free-thinking individual such as yourself.
Well I have made anti-communism my entire personality in which to hide my paper thin understanding of geopolitics after all.
Its such a shame that they turned a strong anti-imperial message like Star Wars into another one of the run of the mill liberal propaganda cash cows.
lol the irony
Hey guys, America may be bad but china is also not a utopia. s/
Some people want China to be super communist and at the same time willingly open up to the media manipulation by the west in the name of free peach. China is a dictatorship of our kind, a state shall act as it deemed to protect itself, whether it is called socialist or the freeest country in the world. It is good to have ideals but don’t smoke too much idealism.There is a difference between limiting one’s freedom out of ignorance, by falling into the trap of media manipulation, or having it limited or restricted by law with police control. In the first case it is enough to use the brain with its own reasoning and criteria, in the second only to look for another country.
What freedoms do you believe are missing in China that are present in any given country in the imperial core?

I can confirm this due to the consults of many chinese users related to the Great Firewall, in a international forum. Although there is also censorship in the Western media, with a strong component of journalistic manipulation, here a journalist is fired by far if he does not report what is indicated by the interests of political officials in the direction. In China they are directly imprisoned. It is exactly the difference that I was referring to in my post, the difference of maintaining ignorance through media manipulation to guide us to the interests of the elite, and another of directly imposing iron control over personal freedoms with serious consequences for noncompliance. Both things are reprehensible and must be fought against, but the second is worse, especially if a country wants to call itself communist, where, however, it is only an elite that rules and without real sovereignty of the people, only typical of savage capitalism, but not in communism. In our society democracy is just a pretty poor label, just as Chinese communism is a similar label for the public.
