And then the corrupt side hustle gets you life in prison.

Show me just one country not under the control of a communist party where that would happen, you absolute baby.

In my country we like to not have any corruption in the first place :)

If you repeat it enough times it might just become true ;)

Well, at the very least I can criticize and vote for my leaders freely, unlike some "global powers" I could mention.

My European country is currently the definition of corruption, I can and have criticized and protested against the regime, and I can vote freely. The only issue is that the position and opposition are working together...

Sounds like you have it tough buddy. At least you can always vote for a 3rd party instead. Dunno why you'd rather live under a dictator like dear leader Pooh in China.

Mayos try not to be racist for a minute challenge: impossible

Oh no I'm sorry, did I hurt the feelings of a powerful dictator by comparing him to a childrens cartoon?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think Xi reads Hexbear so no. You're hurting yourself by being racist though. Hopefully someday you realize that

[–] N1cknamed 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Racism means to speak ill of a race. I'm speaking ill of one person (and an ideology).

If dear leader didn't want to be compared to children cartoons, maybe he shouldn't have been an exploitative dictator. The fact that he tries to censor it only makes it funnier. I make fun of my own politicians all the time, but they don't throw me in jail for it.

Here's a source on why this is racist even though you don't think it is, I hope this helps:

That's funny, the minute I criticize your dear leader you call for me to get shot. Free and democratic nation uh huh.

There are like 20+ choices, most of them in coalition with the leading party, others are nominally opposed, but taking a cut to be quiet and not rock the boat.

I wouldn't live in China, but I also wouldn't ever live in the USA. Yugoslavian countries are more than enough for me...
