RE: My Life Behind China's Great FIREWALL
When you belong to the race or ethnicity that is included in the “nationalistic indoctrination,” its called patriotism. The British Empire and USA werent formed by a bunch of liberal, all-inclusive people. They too were formed by nationalistic ethnocentrics. Since were not Chinese, we may point a finger and call them brainwashed, but we being a bit hypocritical arent we?
I have been working at a Chinese high school for over 4 years. What they do is patriotic and helps unite them with their country so that they can work towards a common goal. All countries that are developing their power and economy need to be nationalistic or else everyone becomes complacent and only looks out for themselves.
Fortunately, dtube and busy are working, but things can change. Reddit and Pintrest used to work for me without a VPN, but they are blocked now.

I didn't point any fingers. And I wasn't being a hypocrite. I'm not pretending to have any experience of life in China, just recounting something I was told.
As to what you're saying about the US and UK, I completely agree that they weren't formed by liberal... Or all inclusive people.
However, we have fundimentally different outlooks on 'so called' patriotism/nationalism so it's probably not worth a debate.
I'm glad that dtube and busy are at least working and I hope you get the VPN back up and running soon.

I wasnt referring to you by pointing fingers. I was referring to your friend and the general populace that does so. I know you dont have experience in China so I wasnt directing it towards you but responding as if you were your friend.
