@QinGuan2004 I realise I've made this awkward, and I don't want to get you in trouble, but you have to realise that if that kind of thing happened over here people would be allowed to talk about it. They'd be allowed to scorn the fact that unarmed protestors were mowed down by the army. And it would be commemorated.

i guess its more of a cultural thing?

I don't personally think anyone should have that kind of culture forced onto them.

dont think its forced lol

They arrest people for talking about it.

just probably a sign of respect

tbh

i think its pretty fine there

imo

It's not really a sign of respect.

It's more a complete government veto on anyone talking about it.

I'm sorry if this is upsetting at all.

but i think the difference is the general population is pretty fine with it

With the government massacring their peaceful demonstration, then refusing to let anyone talk about it?

i mean living in china i havent really seen anyone complain or do anything over that

Do they know about it?

They aren't allowed to really talk about it, and it has never been in their newspapers

Websites get blocked if they mention it

ah im not sure about that then

but as far as i can see in china now

its definitely better than what the states look

Well, I hope so

I have been worried about that guy who may be the next leader

The one who wants his portrait in every home

I hope I haven't offended you by talking about this at all @QinGuan2004

nah

Alright then. that's good to hear

i think pension age differences should be one of our main "pitches" to spread the MRM with. its such a blatant example

countries like austria, so called "pioneers of gender equality". AND they have conscription

It should be a big one. We need it on the lists

It really helps that feminists protest if you try and equalize them.

they do

And this is why my mum is retired and my dad still works

Quite probably.

yep

So looking at that article, it seems that the problem is not that the ages of retirment were changed, but instead the horrible execution of it.

I would not bet on that being the true answer, judging by the big 60 they are carrying about.

But they’re making a very disingenuous and senseless argument-what even does the “execution “ of it mean? They say it’s unfair that they’ll have to wait longer than expected- too bad

“Those with privilege, losing it feels like oppression.” It was overdue. How else can the age by raised?
