  The theory that the US president can’t order the arrest of someone who posted something on the Internet saying he looks like Winnie the Pooh, and expect no consequences.

    You think Xi is going to personally have you arrested from another country if you say be looks like Pooh?

    Westerners really are the most propagandized people on Earth.

      No, I think if I was a local in China and said something like that, I would.

        Yeah, and Qanoners think that Hillary Clinton eats babies in the basement of a pizza restaurant. But, just like you, their belief comes from delusional bigotry with no basis in reality.

      No, you’re terrible at interpreting analogies. I’m saying we in the US do not have to be afraid of being arrested for criticising our government or its officials. You do have to worry about that happening in China.

      You can literally find multiple articles on this exact thing happening. The CCP has every opportunity to refute these claims if they really were fabricated, but they don’t because they want their populace to be afraid to criticize the government.

      That is why using Facebook in the US is not seen as bad even though Facebook is a US-based company, you don’t have to worry about the US government coming after you because you say that Biden looks like a raisin.
