Meanwhile, saying that because success is not guaranteed people shouldn't fight against a repressive regime is frankly spineless.

Its called self preservation. Success isn't "not garunteed", its almost garunteed to not happen. Its a practically insurmountable task.

You went from claiming there's nothing you can do to admitting there's nothing you want to do because you don't want to lose your personal comfort.

I didn't even consider overthrowing them as an option because of how ridiculous of an idea that is.

The fact that you think Chinese citizens don't have access to other countries media really shows that you just guzzle propaganda from your regime.

I am aware its not literally impossible, maybe I should have made that more clear. But information is far more controlled there than it is here. Why would I guzzle propaganda from something I openly admit is an authoritarian regime? I think China sucks because China sucks, I don't need propaganda to tell me that.

Also, CCP is not a thing. It's called Communist Party of China

I do not care what the literal translation is, that's not how you translate things. You say it how it makes the most sense in the language you translate it to. If ASU made more sense in your language than USA, I would say go for it. Nearly everyone that speaks English calls it the CCP, I'm not exposing myself as anything by using what is widely considered to be correct language.
