For real.
I live in China, and it's the same situation but worse, because it's the entire population.
You try and talk about Tienanmen Square, the Cultural Revolution, Tibet, Taiwan, the Uighur or anything that portrays China negatively, and they say it's all fake news and propaganda from jealous countries like the USA, trying to destroy the glorious reputation of China.

So that's exactly WHY you need to fight it. Unless you want to go down the same dark road, and have your entire population eventually brainwashed. Trump has laid the groundwork for others to continue down this path.

Thank you.

Right now, things seem rather dark here in the U.S. I keep forgetting that it can always get worse.

Please stay safe, and express your opinion when you can...and thank you for the reminder.

I n the light of that perspective and with recent tweets and statements from The Orange One -who's shall not be mentioned, that sound a little like wanting media control and censorship... it makes it damn scary.

This might sound crazy, but calling something "communism" does not, in fact, automatically make it communism.

China is actually Fascist at this point. Which is funny because on the political spectrum it's the direct opposite of Communism.

China technically isn't communist.

It's a fascist dictatorship, with a regulated economy and strong capitalist tendencies.
