What functioning democracy? Would love to know so I can move there.

  Yeah, a bit odd to presume that we might live in one when news like this doesn’t surprise anyone.

    Presume we do, or presume we COULD, if this sort of thing is ubiquitously denounced? Democracies don't "work", we "work" them. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, talking about it as though you were helplessly seperate from it. All your nihilism does is accommodate bullies.

      I ought to be ashamed of myself? Are you my aunt or something?

  Isn't asking this kind of like asking "why can't you just stand by and watch everything get worse like everyone else?"

    I think it's important not to kid yourself about where power lies in your own society.

    Then you don’t know how to read sarcasm.

  This sounds like "things are bad so let them get worse", which is not a good look

    Is the PRC a people’s republic? Please don’t wish ill-will on the people of China by disagreeing.
