It’s absolutely common practice to get permits to film in public places and historic sites:
Lmao that’s an entirely different thing than “you need government permission to make a film with a certain type of subject material.”
This is stupid even in the world of social credit score jokes that were fresh a decade ago. Praising China (here, just saying something accurate) would increase your credit score, you dolt.
How can you have lived through the War on Terror and trust anything the U.S. says about its designated enemies?
No one was held accountable and many of the people who lied then are still in power, but I’m sure we’re good this time!
Fascism is when I don’t like a government, and the more I dislike it the more fascist it is

Socialism took the USSR from a late-feudal backwater that just lost the most destructive war in history (to that point) to the first man in space, and it did so in one generation and in spite of two subsequent invasions.
Socialism took China from a bunch of squabbling warlords dominated by foreign empires, where famines were regular and severe enough that people regularly sold their own children to survive, to a modern economic powerhouse, lifting a billion people out of poverty along the way.
Socialism took Cuba from a plantation run by foreign gangsters to cutting-edge medicine and higher life expectancy than the U.S., all while fending off a low-intensity war the most powerful empire in the world has waged against it for the entirety of its existence.
Damn I want a hammer phone now

So there’s a whole fucking Hundred Acre Wood exhibit, Pooh and all, but I guess if you text someone about it Xi appears from under your bed and black bags you?
