Not a good one, that's for sure. Actually my parents are the exact same, monarchist bootlickers. When i shit talk the government in front of them, they always defend it as hard as possible and talk about how dangerous it is (It is, but that's literally part of the problem??)
Ffs, my dad literally had a co-worker ""disappear"" and he still defends the government. It's just always "thank god for what we have, we shouldn't get involved in politics"
As context, i've been a republican (for americans, i mean actual republican, not the US party.) from a pretty young age, and i still am. Which is why political debates between my family are always fun ;^)
Yep, lol.
I almost never talk about my beliefs/criticism of the government, it's a risky game. Only the internet i'm actually free to say as much shit as i can (that is, if they don't find me lmao)
Wait, really? I never knew it was that lightweight in china. Yeah, it's flat out public execution (even torture depending in some cases) it's pretty fucked. Oil barons are absolute scum ๐ซ
Only on mobile i use orbot on almost all social media, but desktop's still a WIP on privacy. Learning about good opsec right now.
Unfortunately that international pressure appears to be disintegrating before our eyes...
Well, that's interesting. thank you for the facts, i never knew that.
Yeah, saudi arabia was WAY worse like 7-13 years ago, but it's still horrible today. Maybe one day we'll become a democracy too, but i'd expect at least a century before the idea of that even becomes plausible lol.
