What an incredible middle finger to the people attempting to fight back against an oppressive regime you fail to comprehend.
You are currently posting freely on a social media platform. They cannot do that. They have social rating systems that limit their ability to function in society if they dissent, and their government runs all forms of communication.
They currently have religious and political dissenters locked in “re-education camps” where the women are raped for essentially $15 by Han men. The Falun Gong and Uighurs get their organs harvested for the highest bidder.
They do not have the right to bear arms, the right to a free press, the right to assembly. They rely on community money lenders and mobs if they aren’t incredibly wealthy due to the financial system being rigged against them.
Furthermore, how do you know they aren’t using bots like on 4chan?
Sickening what this board is becoming. Cheering for a supposed defector then claiming everyone in the mainland is complicit in the crimes of the CCP is a logical fallacy at best. It takes for granted our hard fought freedoms and the very real, oppressively terrifying situation over there at worst.
You clearly continue to miss the point. They aren't coerced to be like pack animals; it's how they live. The person extends to the family, the family extends to the community, the community extends to the region, and the region extends to the country. A "loss of face" to ANYTHING Chinese is a loss of face to THE Chinese; it's personal. They're one and the same to them.
(I'm completely fine with that part of their culture, by the way. It's just something of which to be aware when dealing with them. Very few will really be allies.)
Also, nobody said they're complicit in the crimes of the CCP. You're creating your own logical fallacies.
“Sure, pretend the hive mind defensiveness is not all over Weibo or WeChat. Pretend people on the streets aren't fussing about the latest "insult to China" they heard from state media. Pretend they're all well-intentioned and just scared to speak out. What a load of crap. ”
Yes. You claim to not be attacking the people of China for being complicit in the crimes of the CCP, yet you assert in your previous comment that they are celebrating in the streets and posting supportive comments on Weibo due to a “hive mind mentality.”

You literally posted this before this comment.
Yes, I did. Did you read it?
Yes. You claim to not be attacking the people of China for being complicit in the crimes of the CCP, yet you assert in your previous comment that they are celebrating in the streets and posting supportive comments on Weibo due to a “hive mind mentality.”
You cannot have it both ways.
