    Yes, you’re encouraged to. As much as anywhere else, this is something they could work more on after the fall of the US and EU. To which internet? Yes, yes you are, non violently.

    Also nothing you stated is necessary for an authoritarian government, nor are any of the things you listed exclusive to them. The US doesn’t have a free press or open access to the Internet, for example.

      I once had a Chinese website censor the ‘tank’ part of the term ‘tanktop’. And by once, I mean last month. Now, what could that be about? Surely nothing the Chinese government has been trying to sweep under the rug since 1989, right? I mean, it’s ridiculous to think that a website could get in trouble with the Chinese government over something like that, right?

      LMAO, no no you cannot, I encourage you to fly to China and find out on any one of those things lolol

      The US doesn’t have free press or open access to the Internet, for example.

      Are you mixing up China and the US or something? If we didn’t have free and open access to the Internet, how would anyone over here be able to access those wonderful Tankie links y’all love to throw around? That shit would be blocked 100%

      The major media outlet might be owned by just a few conglomerates, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have freedom of the press. Freedom of the press is in reference to the government controlling what the press says or doesn’t say via laws and such
