      Somebody pointed out that protesting outside the rulers homes is actually illegal in the US lol and they said "yeah but you can do it outside the white house though"

      Edit: which now that I think about isn't really true, you can do it outside the fence around the white house but that's like more than a football field away from the actual building, so that's another way the US fails this guy's made up standard.

        The Rulers in the US don't live in the White Houses. And you'll never get within a dozen football fields of their homes.

      Ignoring their dumb, preconceived notions about how China actually operates, it’s amazing to me how this brave redditor’s conception of freedom and democracy begins and ends with flinging impotent insults. Yes, I’m sure a homeless guy in an American city feels so free when he can call out Brandon or Cheeto Man.

      Reminds me of when the Iraq war veteran (now PSL member) Mike Prysner chewed out Bush in public and was forcefully escorted out, all while Bush, with a smug expression, said something along the lines of “you have a right to your opinion”. There’s a reason why they allow us to “speak our minds”, up until the point it threatens them (McCarthyism).

        AES states often can't have US-style freeze peach because the CIA will leverage it into regime change via wreckers. In the US, it's not current a threat to power. If we were ever in a situation where free speech actually threatened power in the US, you can be absolutely certain that right would be revoked and probably clamped down harder on than any AES state ever has.

      In Br*tain the regime's security forces are arresting and intimidating protesters for holding up blank pieces of paper near Charles the Turd.

      Xi would have you arrested immediately but only to spare you from the embarrassment and the rest of the world from cringe, because that's the type of homie he is
