Americans joke about living in a cyperpunk dystopia but chinese protesters are going 1for1 with censor bots in order to spread info, engineering anti facial recognition solutions daily, and running pop up resistance bases out of ghost towns we will never be on that level here lmao
International outrage is important. We’ll never survive our totalitarian governments if we don’t help each other, regardless of culture.
News update! A student (20 years old) has recently been arrested for buying these laser pens, on the account of them being an offensive weapon, claiming that they set things on fire.
Now, there’s a nightly tourist attraction that uses these lasers, sized up multiple times. There is nothing inherently offensive or dangerous about these tiny laser pens, mainly used for stargazing.
So what do the people do?
They come out, to the planetarium (another popular use for these lasers) and they all shine a spectacular laser show to:
1). show their dissatisfaction for baseless arrests
2). display that there’s nothing dangerous about these lasers
3). they try to set the entire planetarium on fire with the very vicious glare of multiple lasers (it did not work)
4). also to satisfy the urge to shine a flashlight at a planetarium and make shadow dogs out of their hands
5). they’ve also turned it into an impromptu disco with song requests being taken, neon beachballs being tossed around, a public karaoke session
6). They also attempt to set a newspaper on fire via the sheer offensive firepower of multiple lasers singled upon one target. Newsflash, it didn’t work.
7). They also attempt to light a cigarette, to no avail.
