But now? How can we hold a higher ground than China when our own police forces use the very same tactics against our own protesters? How can we accuse the other side of building concentration camps when we have our own?
It's called having protestors in the first place. China wouldn't let you hear about it, or all you get is distorted information, which means you don't know what's going on in their society.
- beardedwizard 6y agoLike our protests?
- entropicdrifter 6y agoLike our protests if the internet was heavily censored too
- monocasa 6y agoYou don't think China has protestors? They protest on a scale not seen in the US, with 2010 having 180,000 "mass incidents".
- seppin 6y agoThey aren't allowed, is the point. You can be disappeared for speaking against Xi. Any comparison is a false one.
- monocasa 6y agoThey absolutely are allowed.
- seppin 6y agoOP's point is that protests happen in rural areas outside the central government's control. They are very much not allowed and usually crushed when found. > They absolutely are allowed. So you and I can go to tiananmen square tomorrow for a healthy protest and drum circle?
