citizens had no choice.
- shaneos 7mo agoCitizens always have a choice. The cost can be terrible, but there’s always a choice
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoWhat is that “choice”? Surely you aren’t like those yokels in the south that think a “militia” running in the woods can take on the the US military or even a decent SWAT force
- collingreen 7mo agoBeing willing to fight for what you think is right even though there is no hope of winning is a choice you can make without being a tacticool yokel that doesn't understand the tech gap between the people and their masters.

- llbbdd 7mo agoWinning remains the important part unless you think you're in a movie, though.
- fmbb 7mo agoNeither do US and European citizens. We seem to be accepting the same amount of surveillance and lack of privacy still.
- Johanx64 7mo agoYou're presuming that if they had a choice, they wouldn't accept it. The reality is that chinese goverment is - overall - delivering results. People will accept things that bring good outcomes. There's also upsides from the surveilence and the way things are done in China which makes it way more resilient from outside influence and disruptive bad actors. Now I don't want the same things in my country, but it suits China to some extent.
