poorer countries the situation is even worse

My parents were born rural

My mom said she needed government permission to even move to Guangzhou (a city). Before the Opening up and Reforms, it was impossible to move outside of where you were born.

I was born in the city, but I inherited my parent's status as a rural person. 2nd class resident 🙃

Being born in China was a statistic. 12% chance I was born there that year, on par with India. By total population, its 1/7 chance. Not surprising.

But what is surprising is I somehow was born into a family that was about to emigrate.

Horray!

Plot twist, 2025 comes by and its authoritarianism again. 😭

If reincarnation exist, statistically, next life I'm gonna be born in "3rd world countries" again (sorry I know its not a Politically Correct term, but it's the most commonly understood one)

India is the top one, then like China is in the top 10 again. Imagine if I get born into China again next life 💀 god damn firewall... it's not even about the politics or outside news, it's the boring domestic media, most TV show is boring

Or I could be born into India, yay poverty (no offense to Indians).

Or, depending if reincarnation is limited to humans, I could be born a factory farm cow 💀
