Comment on How does the Chinese government even work
marcos@lemmy.world 10 hours agoAt the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship
One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.
Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.

That’s because people can take a lot before becoming truly desperate. A revolution means risking mass death, and few are willing to sacrifice so others can have a better life.
