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”?
You don’t realize how much you have to lose until you do. You could become homeless or deported if you get caught under this administration.
We’re reaching a point where the government is deporting green card users for protesting against Israel’s genocide. It won’t be long until US Citizens get the same treatment. And don’t think for a second that you’d be the only one punished. You could be dragging your entire family down with you.
So unless you’re willing to become jailed, homeless, or deported, id listen to your parents.
My generations parents? The lead chip eating boomers that helped fuck america? Pass.
