This is literally my parents. They told me to stop criticizing the people in power, even going as far as saying I shouldn’t criticize the government of my former country. I don’t even have citizenship in my former country anymore, not sure how I could even get in trouble for criticizing is effecively a foreign country to me. (I’m talking about PRC btw).
My mom told me to “just focus on improving your own life and stop worrying about things like you can’t control like politics” (as in, both the politics of my former country and the politics of my current country)
Am I in the wrong here? Should I just keep quiet and not say anything so that I don’t “get in trouble”?
Fuck them.
In the metaphorical way.
Don’t have sex with them.
Don’t listen to them, you’ll regret it. No you’re not in the wrong, they are, but everyone and their cousin will disagree because theyre cowards who don’t want to make their lives harder.
Imagine living 100 years in Germany and being worried about politics and your mom going “just keep your head down”.
Cowards. The lot of them.
By my estimation non-cowards are about 1/50.
