Right, casually downvote literal behaviors of our government as if they’re being presented out of context. Cherry pick to support ones argument by omission.
For a forum of “disrupters” it likes to remain politically milquetoast.
I guess when you’re looking to simply disrupt how much money others have in their account, disrupting the political status quo that enables the gambling risks the game.
So what about the things I brought up. Got disruption to do.
Guess I’ll have to be the “politically unreasonable man” alone.
Nothing exposes weakness like being a single minded doofus. Like Adam Smith warned, extreme division of labor will make for a mighty brain dead and easily manipulated public. Stick to your lane.
Try protesting Trump in front of the White House. Odds are you won’t even risk seeing how free your speech is. That’s the difference in America: most wont bother cause for most it’s fine.
A lot of Chinese as a percentage of the population can say the same.
I think fewer Americans are inclined to try and test it, more so than it being true.
Look at the pipeline situation, campus protests, etc of the last five years. Police beatings and pepper spray in the face. That’s what happens when people stand and sit around in protest.
Put together a protest on the scale of Hong Kong’s in NYC or LA. See how it goes.
TL;DR it’s more explicit in China because they actually stand up more frequently than Americans.
And as a percentage of our population we have more people in jail for minor drug possession related offenses. That’s seen as a tacit protest of government law and you’re put in the clink. Predetermined outcomes written into law plainly, we’ve all just normalized to.
You’re talking about celebrities who are treated differently.
How’s that population of effectively “disappeared” minorities into prison for pot possession and migrants in cages make it look relative to China and its behavior of kidnapping people. There are oodles of folks held in America without charges every year.
Oh they got a trial here sure. One with a predetermined outcome codified into law years ago.
America has had the advantage of being able to sell the pretense via warm and cuddly commercials to the public over the last few decades. The rhetoric in China and America is the same. And “proper Chinese” believe a lot of the same about China vs. US
All countries fail the bottom 1/3rd. Some are just better at justifying it emotionally
