        This are the VPN allowed in China 😂 Seriously, I am not defending the West, which is far from being a real democracy, but neither can I defend China with the current president, it is a dictatorship with obvious violations of human rights and censorship and surveillance that I would not want here. Communism is based on the sovereignty of the people and China is currently far from this, with the only sovereignty being that of its leader.

          so both sides same, but the left is always worse? is that the motto of the Julian Assange fan club? You wouldn’t care about censorship in qatar, or el slavador because you’re not really worried about them taking over the world and putting all the white christian men in cages or whatever like you think china and russia will. Even if I could show you that the US and EU had censorship ten times worse than China it wouldn’t convince you the story is overblown exaggerated propaganda it would just convince you censorship is actually a good thing. So you’re not even worried about censorship coming to america or the EU you’re only using these stories to further a McCarthyistic cold war scare. It only exists to serve your propaganda, if I disprove it you’ll just run off in search of something else. So its kind of pointless to discuss these things, and unfortunately I can’t just demand that you explain your theories on why the reptilian space jews want to give us all windmill cancer and turn the frogs gay directly because you’ll just pretend you have no clue what I’m talking about pretend to be insulted even though you know exactly what I’m talking about and aren’t insulted at all.

            Read my first post, where I speak of a GLOBAL problem in a capitalist world, where a small economic elite rules what rules. Dictatorship of money with different labels with more or less repression and manipulation. Different forms of more or less obvious feudalism, corrupt to the core.

                    Good question, I know what I can do on a personal level and with respect to close people, but given the inherent stupidity of a large part of the population, who believes what this nice man says on TV or the priest, a short-term solution term is going to be difficult. On the other hand we are getting closer, given the danger of a world war and rampant climate change, that this system by itself is going to fall, but unfortunately not necessarily in the way we would like.
