No, I got enough reasonable-looking but ultimately dubious canned responses. It's weird that drone footage and other videos are enough to convince some people of bad things happening in countries they don't like while the same level of evidence doesn't have the same sway for bad things happening in countries they like.
I get that socialism can't be perfect in a world so shackled by capitalism. I don't get why some people convince themselves that China is a perfect example of socialism.
I'm really not in the mood to watch Very Convinced individuals try to e.g. ridicule violence protest suppression by calling it “tinyman square”.
This is a lot of unsavoury assumptions you're making about me and my knowledge of my country that I really don't appreciate. In future a simple no would suffice.

No
