The censorship surrounding taiwan is super lame. You can’t even ask about stuff that happened 50+ years ago. Even if you ask about something else, if somehow the answer includes the world Taiwan, it deletes it.

Wait till you see how fascist US censorship works.
On the up side China has great prosperity because they dont let individuals hoard all the money and they dont allow unregulated free speech that turns countries like the US into INGSOC Oceania

Aren’t you contradicting yourself here? Your first line proclaims the existence of US censorship, but then your next line says that the US is bad because of unregulated free speech. How can there be both censorship and unregulated free speech?

No, I’m not. The unregulated Free speech crowd abused that privilege in order to usher in fascist censorship. The liberals fell for the trap. I’ve taken a lot of crap on this platform from liberals who said that we need to protect all free speech or else the fascists will censor them if they ever gain. power, which is absolutely the most idiotic and tone deaf statement I’ve ever heard.

China is one of the least free places on earth and it has all the same exploitation the West. What upside is there?

China lets people exploit workers and steal the value of their labor. That’s not an upside.

How are you Americans holding up? I heard the ministry of plenty has increased the chocolate ration from 50 grams a month to 40 grams a month. A 25% increase. Careful, I heard East Asia, who you’ve always been at war with is predicted to increase missile attacks. At least the end of the war is in sight. Then you can celebrate your victory over Eurasia, who you’ve always been at war with.

1984 is not about totalitarianism, but about oligarchy. Peter Thiel is literally creating the Surveillance State as we speak.

It’s about authoritarianism.
