Yeah, if you don’t do any political activism, and you don’t say things that are unapproved too loudly, and you don’t end up at one of those slave labor (BYD) or corpo plants with the suicide netting, then you can certainly get by with the way things are.

Is this America or is this propaganda about what China is supposed to be like?

But political activism and freedom of speech and the bill of rights is also how we make things better. Without those, and without people who fought for those, we wouldn’t have “the weekend” as a concept.

China also has the concept of the weekend…

And with how much efficiency has risen over the last hundred years, we should be able to do better than just the weekend.

But we live under capitalism, so the most likely result is that the weekend is going to only be for those born wealthy.
