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”?

    Well, that’s interesting. thank you for the facts, i never knew that.

    Yeah, saudi arabia was WAY worse like 7-13 years ago, but it’s still horrible today. Maybe one day we’ll become a democracy too, but i’d expect at least a century before the idea of that even becomes plausible lol.
