    The paucity of the examples of repression is very telling. Omg a handful of security checkpoints, I've never seen that kind of thing when I travel through airports or enter bars before, holy shit

      I also hate security checkpoints. I remember when I could go to a Padres game and there were like eight entrances to the park - but now everybody has to go through just one entrance, so there's always a huge line that wraps around the city block and a big crowd of people packed into a small space getting their bags checked.

        Security checkpoints in China are fast and efficient, and fully staffed, unlike the airports in the US I’ve been to, with 12 points, 10 of which are closed. The only time I had to stand in a line more than literally one minute, including at the airport, was at Tiananmen Square.
