This is literally my parents. They told me to stop criticizing the people in power, even going as far as saying I shouldn’t criticize the government of my former country. I don’t even have citizenship in my former country anymore, not sure how I could even get in trouble for criticizing is effecively a foreign country to me. (I’m talking about PRC btw).
My mom told me to “just focus on improving your own life and stop worrying about things like you can’t control like politics” (as in, both the politics of my former country and the politics of my current country)
Am I in the wrong here? Should I just keep quiet and not say anything so that I don’t “get in trouble”?
We’re always fighting the last war. Take their input seriously but also understand that the world you live in is different from the one they grew up in. They’re trying to teach you how to stay safe under a dictatorship, they don’t want your life to be ruined because you got mad about a thing once in college.
This , people who criticise govenrment in a dictator led country dissapear , lose job opportunities , are suicided by 2 gunshots to the back of th head etc
Sort of like how the CIA tried to blackmail MLK into suicide and then had him killed when he refused to back down?
How many non-capitalist countries has the US bombed, overthrown through black ops, sanctioned or embargoed?
The US is every bit as bad fascist Russia, but Americans are so brainwashed that they refuse to see it. Even if you tell Americans about how the US infected black men with syphilis and forbid the doctors from treating it, Americans will just bury their head in the sand
Agree , america bad … but noone mentioned anything about america before u did , we’re talking 3rd world dictatorsh… ohhhhh waiiiit
Two powerful countries doesn’t like peoole like me and we got a commenter (the person you replied to) debating which is worse 🙄
Mate , i live in a third world shithole where our thinly veiled dictator does as he pleases … if you live west of the Gdansk/Thessaloniki line please chill out , you have more rights than any of us here
Yeah you shit out that angy whataboutism
Show that western pig who’s boss!
