When the US oppresses its people and others its just being silly. When China does similar things, they are the scourge of the earth commies authoritarians trying to kill everyone.
Most Americans don't see the hypocrisy. Sad state.
People in America have the freedom to take to the streets, which we have done many times, and the freedom to stage protests and boycots, which we have done many times, and the freedom demand things be better. The results and successes of these actions is always up for debate, but we've made great progress in the last century and have far, far surpassed much of the world in terms of liberties and rights.
It's really hard to see out of the opaque paper-bag we live in here, but the USA is still one of the best deals out there. It's okay to both recognize our successes and privileges while also demanding things be better.
idk if america is "one of the best deals out there" but its certainly better than being in a colony or a "strategic interest" country of the US. At best, the US is a second rate country with a dual legal system based on your net worth but its safe from many of the horrors it creates.
Lol, you're so full of American propaganda.
It's just as easy to fall prey to the negative propaganda, truth is always a lot more complicated and nuanced than your ideological bubble-worlds like to portray. No matter which direction it may be.
What are you on about, they criticize it all the time, they just don't lose social credit over it.
