Literally the reason the government ended the covid lockdowns, despite that being the correct course of action that saved shitloads of lives, is because people got tired of it and protested, and the government listened.

Meanwhile here in the states, every protest I've ever been part of has been stomped down by riot cops and had it's demands ignored.

Say what you want about it's economics, but that is not how humans should be forced to live.

I'm sure they're all crying and cursing their doubled lifespans

Please Xi, my people yearn to be forced to live like that
