You get downvoted by Sino-Russian bots. In real life people won't disagree with your point to the same extent as you would see online.

The fundamental issue for me is that I never plan to step foot on Chinese/Russia soil or get into any relationship with their government. That way their spying feels less relevant to me than US spying which just could put me for arbitrary reasons on a list and most western governments would comply.

If you are not Chinese, then yeah fair enough.

If you are, the CCP kidnaps them to take them home for putting a toe out of line.

And by you and I participating in the CCP’s surveillance apparatus, we make it easier for them to pounce on those who are trying to steer clear of the CCP, sadly, the ones who the CCP likes to kidnap and bring home to torture.

I noticed that you are getting downvoted for pointing out the bots. My post had an interesting vote pattern. It initially received lots of upvotes, but then got downvoted to about 1/2 its peak vote count over the next few hours, presumably by bots / shills.
