  • The time and effort you put into typing this comment would have been better spent overthrowing your corrupt government and replacing it with an incorruptible one. Or at least a less corrupt one.
    Ah, but why do that when you can scold random people on the internet for not joining a protest you admit is pointless?

    And is it not pointless to protest when the government is corrupt? They will not care after all since they’re in someone’s pocket…
    Look around the world and say how many protests against corrupt, tyrannical governments actually work instead of being squashed into silent submission?

    Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t do something about it, but to do something that actually works instead of just walking down the street with a sign and then calling it a day once you’ve pissed off enough people.

    I’d say regular people in general don’t think that deeply about these things.
    And though the skin theory sounds correct, i still think it’s about the short and fat part more. It affected his dignity and image, and as i understand it, the concept of ‘giving face’ is of great importance in chinese culture.
