Topic	BBC allegedly adds grey filter to picture of China
indica 02/18/21 7:58:49 AM #180:	ssjevot posted... Also just to preempt what some people are going to say. "The majority support the government." Okay based on what? Opinion polls in a country where all communications are monitored and criticism of the government is censored and can even land you in jail? I know many Chinese who do not support the government's actions on many policies but there is no way to know how many or have any kind of debate because they cannot vote, only party approved news and information is allowed, and you cannot voice criticism. The people who try to claim Chinese are a hive mind who blindly support the government are just as bad as the people who hate Chinese people for being a different ethnicity. Remember when the Soviet Union broke up not a single one of the former Soviet countries that had elections elected the communists back into power. None of them. So don't assume China is some exception and everyone actually loves the current system. I would just like to add that both China and the USSR were never truly communists nations; they were totalitarian regimes with social hierarchies using communist ideology to manipulate the masses. Current China is so far from communism that they have the strongest capitalist market in the world (under a one party system). --- There is no good. There is no evil. There just is. <cite>indica posted [p:950784157] in BBC allege... [t:79300183]...</cite> <quote>ssjevot posted... </cite> <quote>Also just to preempt what some people are going to say.
