Wow, I’m sure glad I don’t live in China. I could never live somewhere people aren’t allowed to think freely or live as individuals!!

Another free thinker. Glad to have you on board with us other individuals. Do you like Marvel, Star Wars or Harry Potter per chance?
Its such a shame that they turned a strong anti-imperial message like Star Wars into another one of the run of the mill liberal propaganda cash cows.
(Unjerk) yeah dude it’s a fucking crime. Anyone with half a brain cell can tell what lucas intended with his portrayal of the empire and the Republic vs the CSS (literal breakaway states due to republic core world corruptuon and economic imperialism).
I’d argue that while Disney have gutted star wars, the biggest shift was in how Western society redefined imperialism so that the films still maintain their message but to the majority of consumers they’re too well trained like the dogs they are to recognise what imperialism looks like in 2022.
(Rejerk) excuse me friend this is a highbrow liberal discourse thread, please take your tankie red fash nonsense elsewhere 😤
Of course they do. Everyone in our civilized, free-thinking societies loves Marvel®, Star Wars® and Harry Potter®. Wouldn’t be very free-thinking if we didn’t, would we?
Glad to hear!! Have you checked out the mandelorian or squid game yet? They are both brilliant critiques of communist systems.
I’ve heard that Squid Game is literally what life is like in North Korea, so I don’t feel the need to watch it. I haven’t heard anything like that about the Mandalorian, but it does make sense; after all, George Lucas originally modeled the Empire after a brutally dictatorial communist regime.
Exactly, in fact if you look closely you can see how the rebel firebird symbol is reminiscent of the US flag while the empire is more akin to the hammer and sickle.
Oh, I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I should have expected as much from a great free-thinking individual such as yourself.
Well I have made anti-communism my entire personality in which to hide my paper thin understanding of geopolitics after all.
What else would we base our personalities on? I like to think that I’m quite politically aware – I read the politically neutral news on bbc.co.uk every day!
Im taking critical hits to my constitution reading this.
Targeting “Freedom” and “Democracy” in VATS.
We’re so lucky to live in a country where ppl are allowed to express unpopular opinions. Thank god we don’t live in china.
This is completely on point. I may not have any unpopular opinions to express, but I’d rather be homeless, disease-ridden, and constantly on the brink of starvation than unable to express those nonexistent opinions!
The best part is that you have you way to significantly express them since you don’t have billions to buy a media firm or a politician
Yeah, but I can still express my opinion as a YouTube comment! They definitely can’t post comments in China. A sexpat YouTuber told me that that’s illegal.
I agree, I’m sure glad I don’t live in China. I could never live somewhere people aren’t allowed to think freely or live as individuals!!
That’s a very good point.
