Ironically they will just as likely go on a tirade against the guvmint, for entirely different reasons.

I didn’t imply ALL of them thought the same way. My point was that Americans still have the freedom to speak up (for now)
eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 days ago
Tell that to people like Fred Hampton or Garry Web or Chelsea Manning.
All spoke out against the American government and all paid for it w their lives; their livelihoods; or both and time has vindicated all of them.

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s still a vast gulf between freedom of speech in the US and China
eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 days ago
What is that gulf? I’ve provided concrete and glaring examples that what you said is not true and you haven’t provided anything besides propaganda.

Polls of Chinese show double the contentment level of their democracy than Americans. Freedom of speech here is freedom to disinform, promote fraudulent economics, and be divisive. Congress never does anything popular. We have a fascist oligarchist corporatist zionist supremacy and you are forced to like it. China promotes pluralist economic policies with growth.
Every country we bless as a legitimate democracy happens to be a US colony, with election outcomes, races among parties devoted to US policy.

Freedom is a dangerous word. In the hands of anyone in the US they believe unequivocally that they have it in all regards and nobody else does. The US does not hold a monopoly over freedom.

This is where you were wrong. We are an ignorant, stupid people.
