Not really, some groups get banned for being anti-Chinese (and usually fronts for US imperialism lol), but I’ll grant that the current state of queer rights and acceptance is behind the West. It’s mostly kneejerk anti-Western culture war bullshit (that is being inflamed by the US using us as political pawns), but there have been recent moves towards acceptance that I’m hoping lead to more progress on the issue. There are reasons to be optimistic about China’s future.
Are there reasons to be optimistic about America at this point?
I’m optimistic about America because the people still have the freedom to speak frankly and critically of their government without fear of imprisonment, torture, or death.
Except for the Black protesters that keep turning up “”“mysteriously”“” murdered.
This country has a long history of silencing people who speak frankly and critically of the government, especially (but not limited to) when minorities speak out against systemic oppression. They’re banning books that talk about those struggles! Surely you see it?
