Is just such a shock from being in China. Just got harassed and essentially threatened for being a socialist. They searched my bags and commented on my China flag and my little red books and my copy of Blackshirts and Reds. Fucking police state. The security in China is strict, but they don’t give a fuck about your thoughts, whereas this guy was very aggressive about “consequences” for being a socialist.

      Random person: tell what they experienced during their trip in China

      Smug lib: “Are you sure you really experienced what you say you did? Me (who has never been to China) think you are mistaken.”

        There’s a huge difference between “I experienced this” and “I’m extrapolating a huge generalization from my tiny shred of experience”.

          I have heard plenty of first hand accounts from people who were born there, who live there, and elsewhere who go back to visit family often, that say otherwise.

          You managed to contradict yourself in consecutive comments, I’m impressed.
