    Oh get off your high horse.

    We criticize the Chinese government for spying on its citizens. We claim it’s undemocratic to do so. Yet we do the same thing. This is not whataboutism, it’s textbook hypocrisy.

      Thread isn’t about us government.

      We all acknowledge the us government has massive issues.

      You tried to change the subject with a whatabout style comment and got called out for it.

      Further replies = flailing.

        Thread is about criticizing China. Yet living life as a hypocrite.

      We also criticize our government for doing this.

      Where is that hypocrisy?

      Maybe in the fact that the Chinese citizens can’t criticize their own government for fear of being disappeared. Their only avenue is to criticize ‘the west’.

      It’s sad watching these types say anything at all about hypocrisy.

        But chinese people have protests all the time. Do you think they all get disappeared? Or did the media make that shit up so you don’t feel bad about the US doing the same shit? I remember journalists getting hacked under the Obama admin, random people getting black bagged during 2020. And those were the rare moments where they were effective. 99% of the time it’s unnecessary as the media is quite effective at shutting down criticism of the government. Just look at the coverage of student protests.

    Not the parent comment, but we should be aware that and shouldn’t be naive.

    Good thing there’s no risk Trump will abuse all those surveillance state powers Biden created so Biden is definitely not a Fascist authoritarian as well.
