Is that a Lib thing now? When I was growing up in a super rural conservative area I always heard if you don’t like America you’re free to leave. Like progressive change is a cancer or something.
In the US, 0.7% of the population is in prison. That’s nearly one out of every hundred citizens and the highest per capita of incarcerated citizens in the world. Higher than Russia, higher than China, higher than North Korea.
In the US, people vote on laws, and the laws that put so many people in prison were massively popular until we realized “oh fuck there sure are a lot of people in prison and this problem isn’t solved at all.”
I’ll take people democratically getting things wrong 100% of the time over “authoritarian regime that hasn’t come for you yet”
So yes, land of the free, and free people sometimes do dumb shit.
If you have an example of anything at this level of authoritarian that the US has done in the past 50 years, please let me know, because I’m an American and would likely be kept intentionally uninformed about it.
I mean if you’re citing Tiananmen, I’d recommend that you read the messages and reports that came out of the US embassy during and following the event.
They tell a rather different story than what’s commonly spread today and base it off of actual first-hand eyewitness testimony. It’s not by any means “Deng Xiaoping did nothing wrong,” but it’s extremely different from what’s on Wikipedia.
Jesus fucking christ are you denying the massacre? There are dozens of photos of mangled bodies and pulpified smears of remains. It’s absolute horrific.
They aren’t wrong though. The media has long lost the truth about what actually happened that day. Here you can read a piece by a journalist who was the Beijing correspondent for the Washington Post at the time.

Remember: It’s okay when the US does it.
You realise plenty of people dislike both right?
And plenty of people think it’s okay when the US does it.
What’s your point?
Remember: There are CCP apologists among us.

Libs are just conservatives at heart who like to think they’re progressive so yeah that checks out.
Instead of improving our country, these two groups tell you to go elsewhere.
Since when? Lol

Land of the free indeed. Propaganda works.

Is that better or worse than being shot because you’re a kid that went to school?
