    Imagine genuinely having convinced yourself that you can’t gauge general public opinion in a country like China. Like there’s a party operative hiding behind every corner listening. 😂

      Don’t really need to when you’ve got facial recognition cameras everywhere. Also guessing they didn’t ask the Uyghurs what they think. And regular Chinese folk can’t really Google that shit now can they?

      This is your source, so desperate are you to spread good news about authoritarian regimes you don’t even check your sources

      One of the protesters, ex-Edelman employee Lucy Bridgewater, quit due to the agency’s ongoing relationship with oil majors and the impending climate catastrophe. Lucy said: “Edelman is a fine one to talk in its Trust Barometer about politicians misleading the public, when Edelman itself has been misleading us all for decades – first as lobbyists for the tobacco industry, and now the fossil fuel industry. Edelman uses its profound understanding of trust to manipulate public perception of our most pressing issues. We desperately need the great thinking and fresh ideas of our creative industries channelled into solving our greatest challenges – not actively and knowingly make them worse.”

            I live in a western authoritarian regime where the government works in the interest of a small capital owning class. And I crave living in a country where the working class holds power. I guess boots aren’t gonna lick themselves though, so capitalists are lucky to have people like you around.
