  • Same thing is happening to India before our eyes.

    Thing is, the Western view that media is free inherently makes people more susceptible to propaganda. To be more precise, Western media has achieved a few things: (1) The illusion of media freedom makes people less likely to question the media they consume. (2) The profit-driven motive of media companies makes it more likely for facts to be “reinterpreted” to better fit the target reader’s worldview. (3) The extent that government agencies are involved in media has been completely hidden from the public.

The fact that it isn’t talked about doesn’t mean that everyone’s bought into government propaganda, it just means that people are on average happy enough to not bother with it.

    Flipping the firewall is easy. Going to Taiwan or Hong Kong is easy. Emigrating is easy.

    Just because someone isn’t white doesn’t mean that they’re stupid ffs
