Westerners hate their government so much that they cannot see beyond their own parochial worldview to even entertain the idea that some people would feel generally supportive of their government.
Those sneaky Orientals must be lying in order to trick is good, honest, non-perfidious enlightened westerners again.
Easterners who hate their government disappear or learn to hide it. Westerners get to piss and moan.
Ah yes, that's very true. You must be something a field anthropologist.
People in the East wouldn't ever protest and get away with it.
Meanwhile, westerners who hate their government would never be brought up on charges for the crime of "posessing books, black clothes, fabric, and paint" and then get disappeared into solitary confinement for exercising their constitutional rights.
That's a very valid contribution that you made to the discussion. Nice work.
