Meanwhile in a ”free” country:

Edit: apparently people are confused by whataboutism and hypocrisy.

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.

[–] Altofaltception -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

Further replies = flailing

Flail away.

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?

Shit, in 2020, we saw the biggest protests since the Iraq War (which the media didn't cover), and every single city responded by saying "You can't do that, it's illegal", and proceeded to beat the shit out of them and disappear them in significant numbers.

99% of the time, such direct actions are unnecessary as the media is very 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 and shouldn't be naive.

Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001

Not everything needs to be an acronym.

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.

What the heck? The thumbnail loads and animates, but if I click on it, it says "content not available"

[–] ma11en 10 points 6 months ago

Maybe the thumbnail is cached somewhere in Lemmy.

This happens to me somewhat frequently in Connect. I have yet to learn why.

[–] robocall 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know of a reliable way to post gifs or videos on lemmy.
