“We did not imagine that merely holding up the flag of a sovereign state recognized by 157 countries (Palestine) would violate any law,” the band said in a statement
I’ve been to China many times too and it does not rock lmao. You’ve been eating propaganda and it shows. China is extremely oppressive and it’s still incredibly underdeveloped despite LED covered cities you see on tiktok. It’s still a matchmaker and status driven society from 20th century despite EV tech.
Also freedom is not binary, the west is more free than China ever was. At least I can type “LGBT” to my chat app which you cannot do in China because CCP autocrats deem it “western propaganda”. None of this is a worthy sacrifice for faster decision making, I’d rather be slightly poorer but live in a healthier more free society.
So if the west indeed is more free, why are people getting arrested, beaten, scolded and losing jobs for supporting Palestinians? Why are neo-Nazi parties rising, why is it ok to run politics solely based on hate for immigrants in every supposedly free society? I guess you’re white and don’t know what’s it like to witness entire political movements dedicated to othering you.
Trump is the president of the US, farage and his like have millions demonstrating against Muslims in the UK, Sweden has Nazis on course to becoming the most popular party. Everyday I am bombarded with messaging reminding me that I’m vermin. Do you mean that a free society is consistent with fascists in every position of power?
And again, all the while this is happening, politics happen in ways that are not popular. Increased living costs, housing basically impossible to acquire, billionaires eating away at the working classes’ right. The only solution these so called free societies offer is to blame minorities.
But I guess all of that is ok because you can write LGBTQ? Even tho the trend here is clearly taking us to a point in which the little rights gays have will be put into question?
As an aside: Chinese gay people exist and it is fully legal to be gay in China. So what is even your point?
I write a whole comment for you to just take a snippet of, reply with snark and then send a link that ranks the US democracy index at 81/100.
I very much doubt the intelligence of these people if they call the US a “flawed democracy”. It’s an oligarchy that knows enough buzzwords to sound correct.
But sure. While China develops their economy, ensure their citizens are well and educated, and act as the only big power actually doing something about climate change, keep deluding yourself that the US is somehow better.

You are incapable of non-binary thinking? It’s more free.
There are people much smarter than you or me who try to quantify freedoms and you know what’s never doing well on these evaluations? China.
