or maybe they are scared to say that they are oppressed because they know that the app you are talking about is heavily moderated by the government? see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu#Content_moderation_and_censorship

also see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_China

i didn’t grow up in ussr, however another user who did apparently didn’t have the same experience with you and there’s also a wikipedia page for human rights in soviet union which also contradicts your experience: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_Soviet_Union

so are you arguing that big communist governments such as china and north korea (and in the past soviet union) are not oppressive or their oppressiveness have nothing to do with communist system?

if you argue that big corrupt governments are a product of the capitalist system, then ill argue big oppressive governments are a product of the communist system

at the end of the day, i think both of these systems can work in theory, the problem is that neither one of these systems are implemented properly

as long fundamental human values such as ethics, morality, justice, equality and democracy are not valued, it doesn’t matter which system you choose, it’s not gonna work

i dont think that is what capitalism tries to be, its just that we have all these big corrupt governments that take things to this point

nah on reddit there are only just fat guys

whats step 1

which game is this

i downvoted bc theres an empty space between the text and the images and also i thought it would be funny

ITS ALREADY BEEN 22 DAYS? WHAT THE FUCK

i think in a logical society it would have been the other way around (second image would be the first)

this idea of if you use a product you have to support every belief the company have is absolutely insane, like why can’t you recognize that a company’s products and it’s beliefs are two separate things? yeah the beliefs do effect the product but not all of them (especially not in this case like bro its ceos personal belief), why are we living in a time where you either have to %100 support something or you have %100 be against it? the fact that even a small political stand that someone dont agree with can turn them against a company or even a person is crazy to me

anyway i understand you made this choice and even tho i dont agree with the reasoning ill also provide 2 alternatives for vpn: mullvad and ivpn, both dont require email for account creation and accept monero payment, you probably heard them before

for email i suggest hosting your own if you have the time, there is this great project named docker-mailserver and its really easy to setup, but if you dont want to go through the effort feel free to check numerous alternatives others provided
