China is a dictatorship where anyone that doesn't tow the party line gets crushed. Today it's these wierdos turn to get Winnie's foot up their ass.

If you work in a professional industry, try standing up and say “I think climate change is over egged and being used to advance progressive causes. I dislike abortion and believe in traditional family values” and you will certainly be spoken with.
2 massive lies we believe in the west:
- We are all much better off here financially. We aren’t. We have higher GDP per capita but this doesn’t factor in things like availability of housing, cost of living etc.
- We are free in the west. We aren’t. You have some better speech protections in the west but you would still be insta-fired if you say patriotic things. Or if you said you were a Christian and dislike homosexuality. You would probably be off the premises by lunch in many parts of Europe and US.
We just have different rules
