one is an (admittedly hugely influential) private company and the other is the actual single-party government
The US has been governed by public-private partnerships for centuries. Trying to draw a line between the industry administrators that get promoted into every crevice of public sector bureaucracy and the elected politicians who depart office to serve as lobbyists and board members of private firms is a fool’s errand.
Do we celebrate Chris Dodd the Senator and denounce Chris Dodd the chairman of and chief lobbyist for the MPAA? Do we applaud Hank Paulson the Treasury Secretary and denounce Hank Paulson the CEO of Goldman Sachs?
Americans seem to have no trouble drawing a straight line between Singapore-incorporated ByteDance and the Chinese Communist Party. Why can’t they see the connection between Howard Lutnick or Linda McMahon or Betsy DeVos or Elaine Chao and the businesses they own and operate?
the owner class decides and they control both the corporation and the state.
You find this arrangement superior to Chinaman daddy model… which is fine, that is your opinion. But at the end of day, there is no much difference beyond who gets oppressed and for what reason.
You are appear to accept economic oppression as preferable because chinaman bad.
We have several prisoners at Guantanamo with absolutely no tangible connection to terrorist organizations. They have been there for 20 years in some cases and have no release or court date scheduled.
But Guantanamo is something exceptional, not the norm.
orly?
Is that why US either highest or second highest prison population?
You have been providing very naive, regime sanctioned talking points. You don’t do any critical analysis of the conditions imposed.
Nobody disputing that US provides limited freedom of assembly. But it does not make US some how superior when they are still oppressing the population. You don’t appear to recognize the economic oppression being “as bad” as whatever shepooh does to his property?
Is economic oppression and bureaucratic murder of the population supposed to be some how morally superior?
But from a personal point of view I’m very happy to live and have grown up somewhere relatively free.
Everyone says this until their targeted…
This is essentially the logic first they came for the communists… I was not a communist…
The modern regime know not to push it too far, generally that’s just bad business but they always need some marginalized group to oppress for the performative purposes to remind the plebs who got the monopoly on violence. And gen pop accepts it as “ohh well, they do it to black people etc, at least it won’t me, carry one”
At the core us and Chinese pedons behave the same with the same excuses for why their daddy is good, other daddy is bad.

When all of the companies do it and they do as they are told by daddy Sam… What is the difference.
The only difference I see is that they don’t send you to gulag in US unless you really make some dear leader life uncomfortable.
Americans still do a lot of self censorship. Anything Israel related gets modded into shot on normie socials.
Luigi is prolly best example… They are suppressing that across all media, fake news and social… How is this different from shepoohs bullshit?

Us has largest prison population in the world?
Capitalist regimes targets people differently but the function of the oppression is the same.
