    I mean we had countless of protests during our two year covid lockdown period. Did our entire country collapse because of these protests? No. It were just a few thousand people being mad.

    These things happen in China as well. It’s a big country with a lot of people. A single protest does not mean China is going to collapse, despite what the media wants you to believe.

      This is a terrible analogy. From what I’ve seen, this protest in China is nowhere near the level of the 2020 protests. Wait until someone occupies a major government building, burns down a police station, or creates a Shanghai version of CHAZ. If that happened, we could say the situation is not normal and leadership has failed, but I think it’s unlikely.

      Watching Westerners celebrate these events as if larger protests haven’t happened in the US in the past few years has killed my few remaining braincells
