China.

This is horse shit. There are examples of protests being countered (e.g. When Trump gassed protesters and clergy members to hold a Bible up upside down at their church), but these examples are rare and those people weren’t actually “silenced”. They told everyone about what happened.

Americans have freedom of speech protected by our constitution. China, on the other hand, has actual laws dictating against many forms of speech.

For example… “The PRC bans certain content regarding independence movements in Tibet and Taiwan, the religious movement Falun Gong, democracy, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, Maoism, corruption, police brutality, anarchism, gossip, disparity of wealth, and food safety scandals.”

I’m getting tired of all this propaganda… I honestly may leave Lemmy if this keeps up.

“Everything” we’ve heard about China is a lie? Are you people for fucking real?

Yes, because that’s a problem unique to California…

Over half a trillion dollars. That’s what California makes the feds every year. We’re the fifth fucking largest GDP on the planet.

Yes. One million times yes. Let’s watch the GOP fucking implode when the largest GDP State (CA) leaves their ass. It’s insane they are whining about our fires… Idaho was far more on fire this year than us in California. And that was all forest, not literal neighborhoods that 100% raked their fuckin leaves.

The masses do not always have the solution. Genetics is a harsh mistress. We are the ones that take the late watch. We protect the tribe at night. Today, we are despised unless we fulfill the meager agendas… But we are not without worth. Chin up, friends. We may have our day.

Ignorance is what helps you.

This is ignorance. It is not the way for many of us.

This is not the way.

This is not the way.

This is not the way.

Be born different, my friend. Never regret how you were built, however, as it is prized and unique.

Fuck James Woods. Imagine living in a place like the one that burned down, and shitting on Palestinians facing genocide like he did. What the actual fuck?!

Some rich assholes have it coming.

…most. Most rich assholes have it coming.

Help us, Mario. You’re our only hope.

This guy’s poor wife… We all know why he’s been doing all of this. I wonder if he lets her have relations with other dudes? I hope so…

You can’t escape reality. It’s better to understand it.

Elon is such a dumbass.

Edit: I’m sorry, *President Elon is such a dumbass.

It’s the rich assholes, mostly. Money talks, especially in an openly corrupt country like the current United States.

Mark was never a source of good in this world.
