      Muh both sides! Muh both sides! Don’t you know both are equally bad?!?!?!?! Sure, the west is bad but we can totes trust them when they say that China is spying on us though, they’d never lie to us about that.

          Ooh, keep going! Please! I love hearing identical conversations from people who claim to be anti-US and anti-US companies, yet always wrap around to “The US is bad, but their enemies are worse so we should support the status quo and not actually challenge the system.” The last 100 times I was given this exact same argument you’ve just given didn’t work, but I’m sure if you just keep going and say the exact same identical unoriginal stuff about me being in an echo chamber it will finally get through to me!

          Call me a redfash tankie or something, or say “The US isn’t perfect but it’s better than the alternative” Say the line Bart!

          Actually, you’re more the sort to say “I’m done with this conversation, I’m not going to be insulted.” aren’t you? You don’t have anything of value to say but you can’t admit it to yourself, so you’ll try to smug away from the conversation to protect your own ego. I’ve seen it all. You’re not the unique special free thinker who is better than everyone else you think you are. You are not immune to propaganda. But you’ve convinced yourself you are, even if you won’t admit it.

              I admittedly do not know enough about the whole political system to make comments on change, however I absolutely don’t want to maintain the status quo

              Hey computer toucher, why don’t you go on one of their news websites and find the guide to how China’s democracy works? Don’t you like manuals?

              Yes we know you like Stallman. Of course you do. We’re all like this. We just wanted to get free movies and stop comcast, and now we’re knee deep in the BLOOD. THE FUCKING BLOOD.

              AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

            dude, chill out. he said that data collection is harmful whether it’s being done by the u.s. or china. obviously it’s less impactful due to the data being collected and stored overseas. whether or not you think that statement is redundant is a whole other discussion. please, you’re just making an ass of yourself.
