China has no LGBT marriage rights and no protections against discrimination, how is that better? How is having fewer rights to be myself the preferable option in your view?
You really have your head in the sand if you think the US state is protecting us and can say this within the month that bipartisan anti-trans legislation was signed, not to mention all the bills that have been introduced that are poised to set us back further than Stonewall era.
Now please stop making me defend the Chinese state. I hate the government of China as I do any state lol. I just think it's a far better system than the US government by almost any metric.
China still has fewer protections than theUSA. Pretending otherwise is foolish. The laws are easily available for you to compare.
If you think China is a far better system ypu haven't lived in an authoritarian culture...yet.
I would rather personally mail a copy of my data from my phone and other devices as well as my DNA and medical records directly to Xi Jinping himself and a second copy of said data to Hamas than give a single dollar to a corporation or politician in this illegitimate genocidal settler colonial nation that's contributed nothing but harm to the world.
Also, you kinda need to move past this Red Scare bullshit. It's not the 1950s. I was literally just chatting with my new friend in this so-called "authoritarian regime."
There's no red scare stuff here. You can easily look and compare the laws. China currently is by every metric worse on LGBT+ rights.
The "yet" part is because America is becoming authoritarian. China has never not been authoritarian.
