In case you were wondering how i got so woke, it was playing this game as a teenager. This one conversation with an expat bartender in a video game refuted all the stock talking points about China and Authoritarian communism in general. Anti China Rhetoric has been going in circles since.

We in America have less freedom than people in authoritarian countries, because our lives are at the mercy of a capricious economy. The only freedoms given by our totalitarian government (It can only be called such) is the freedom to follow whatever the economy decides for us.
