      I’m worried that if there’s war you guys will be affected as well. Running further seems more reasonable.

      I think I’d go to China if I could. I feel like the US is gonna fuck over it’s allies first.

          As someone that supports Palestine I think my odds are significantly less likely of getting black bagged in China than in the US.

          US just making people disappear without due-process right now but western brain still thinks “China is the real dystopia”

            Read about the plight of the Uyghurs in China. If you support the Muslims in China, you will end up in a CCP sponsored mobile organ donor chop bus.

            In the US making people disappear without due process is news, in China it’s a daily occurrence.

              Yeah. But the difference in China is the people that get disappeared are billionaires that started criticisming the government too much. Id rather we disappear some billionaires here. Instead of brown people protesting a genocide.

                You have a highly idealistic perspective on China. This isn’t to say that things are lerfect in Europe or North America - they most definitely aren’t. But it is to say that two things can be true at the same time, i.e., there are growing issues in the West and China has a highly oppressive regime.

                There is a natural temptation to whitewash and exxagerate the good in other times and places, especially ones that are directly juxtaposed to the one you are inhabiting and are critical toward.

                However, we must resist these temptations lest we doom ourselves to repeat the same mistake over and over.

                Never heard of the Xinjiang concentration camps? In China it’s also mostly brown people who criticize the government who are disappeared, the billionaires are the exceptions that make the news.

                The USA might be getting worse, but it’s still a far cry from China.
