When the left tries to tell you that America is the worst place and other countries have more freedom

Things like this are a real reminder that is not true

Why doesn’t the left protest the intolerance of China ? Instead they are totally distracted by Trump .
Is it because many of the leftist owned and controlled tech companies like Facebook , Google and many of the politicans have China connections and business interests ?

Singer Dua Lipa is upset that some of her fans were allegedly kicked out from her concert for waving LGBT flags on Wednesday. Lipa took to social media to express her support for fans who were ejected from the show and said she hopes future concerts will be full of rainbows.

Videos circulating on social media showed security staffers forcefully pulling concertgoers out of their seats. Social media users claimed that it was because the fans were waving LGBT flags at the show. Lipa seemed to reference the flags in a statement on Twitter.

China doesn't give a f*ck about political correctness and in some ways they will be better off in the long run for it.

Uh, no. I have never seen anyone claim that China has more freedom than we do. Or that America is the "worst place."

This isn't a leftist-owned business thing. It's businesses in general.

Dua Lipa isn't even from America, so this thread is even more ridiculous.

  1. Make man of straw.
  2. Put sign saying "The left" on newly-made straw man.
  3. Inform the world at large that "This man of straw just said that America is the worst place"!
  4. Beat man of straw to death.
  5. Declare victory.

The Left has been crying about how terrible everything has been in this country since Trump became president. You need to keep up with current events.

Why is this thread ridiculous? I didn't know that all threads in this subforum had to be about Americans.

So, by your logic, everyone is threatening to move to China because of Trump. Can you cite a single post/article/resource of any kind supporting that?

I guess you need this to be spelled out. The OP said Americans (or specifically the American left) keep complaining about our lack of freedom. This article is supposed to be an example. However, the person complaining is not even an American.

You do know that there's a scale to these things. Things can be terrible under a president, and still not be Russia, China or North Korea terrible, right?

Leftist (and rightist) US citizens don't protest against China's policies because it's not their country and hence none of their business.

If only the US government based their international relations on that principle...

No not by my logic but by all the hateful and angry rhetoric from the Left ever since the election.

The OP used an example of a country where they do not kowtow to political correctness and that as much as the Left in this country thinks LGBT rights have been threatened by Trump (he does not but the Left loves to make false accusations), relative to other countries like China, LGBT rights are not threatened.

The OP was tryng to point out the holes in the Left's attacks against Trump.

Please list the terrible things that are happening to the LGBT community under this president. Go ahead. I like to hear this one.
