The Rules
Posts must be:

lol republicans don’t like their dirty laundry being aired out. Just like China arresting protestors for holding a blank sign.
Incidentally, that was a protest against COVID lock down measures, which Der Spiegel picked up and turned into a "China won't even let people wave white paper!" headline. It got picked up by anti-COVID activists in western states and used as proof that lock downs were a form of big government fascism.
