Is just such a shock from being in China. Just got harassed and essentially threatened for being a socialist. They searched my bags and commented on my China flag and my little red books and my copy of Blackshirts and Reds. Fucking police state. The security in China is strict, but they don’t give a fuck about your thoughts, whereas this guy was very aggressive about “consequences” for being a socialist.

Man if you can get away without being harassed, I say stick to whatever you’re doing. I have been secondary searched every time I go through TSA since I was a 14 year old kid, and it gets really fucking old. Not to mention the constant profiling by police on the streets. I’ll never forget going clothing shopping with my father at Kohls, walking out and seeing a cop crawling through the parking lot, telling my dad, “stay close when I pull out, this cop is going to pull me over” and being right. If he hadn’t been there to say, “why the fuck are you harassing my son?” I would have gone to jail on suspicion of murder that day because I am brown and had long hair and apparently someone else did too.
