As an Aussie, I don’t necessarily want to overthrow my government (what’s a circus without the clowns), but I do like the fact I can safely voice my displeasure if and when I feel it’s useful.
Having moved to Taiwan after spending many years in Beijing, the feeling of a weight being lifted off is palpable. I don’t miss those towering windowless soviet-style government building one bit.
- KGIII 9y agoI have traveled a great deal and seen some pretty oppressed people. I can live most anywhere and one of the reasons I choose to live here is because I am not oppressed here. Like you, I have no desire to overthrow my government. I do like to complain about then, however. As for living somewhere oppressive, I don't think I'd do well in a place where I was hopeless. I'd probably end up being a dead revolutionary, just because I would have wanted to feel hope.
