I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

      Me, as a American: Huh, we just set up camps in Guantanamo Bay to pick up immigrants? That’s fucked up.

      Also Me, as a American: China does some shit with the uyghu? That’s fucked up.

      Society: (ignoring Guantanamo bay) Yeah fuck China!


      Also me, as a American: openAI stole art. Wow.

      Also me, as a American: Deepsink stole from OpenAI? Hilarious.

      Society: Hey fuck you for supporting China! You can’t even write Tiananmen square on there! Winnie the Pooh! Winnie the Poooooooh!

      Yes, China not bad, China good. You should like China cause they don’t do bad things to their citizens and anything you’ve heard to the contrary is just western propaganda.

        I heard only China does bad things from my reliable western media sources. The west never does horrible things but if they did it was an accident.

          Yeah it’s not like the West has a free press that can report on all the things that it does that is wrong or anything.

            Indeed the west would never systematically censor their crimes by controlling every major news corporation which consistently gets exposed.

            They also would never proscecute any journalist until the ends of the earth such as Snowden and Assagne when they make Western crimes public.

            Lastly the west does not control all social media and systematically censors opinions calling out their wat crimes.

              Assange and Snowden are not journalists. Snowden was a researcher who leaked government documents detailing how the government was surveiling its own citizens. Which was published in a western-based newspaper outlet. And Julian Assange is a complicated issue. The government’s after him are absolute assholes but you also weren’t censored from finding out what was done to him. And in the end he basically got a slap on the wrist. Not to mention that he himself is quite an asshole. Just listen to anybody who’s ever met the guy in person.

              And neither of these people have disappeared into the dark. They make regular appearances and are reported on by Western media outlets fairly often.

              And I love how you cite social media as some kind of free press. Like 90% of it’s not owned by oligarchs who have one agenda and that is to gather up every ounce of money and power they can get their hands on. That’s why they let misinformation run rampant on their own sites. Obfuscation is the best way to counter truth.

                Yes yes and all the Uyghurs are terrorists and Russia is conducting a special operation in Ukraine. Thank you for your linguistic nonsense to deny your governments censorship.

                And neither of these people have disappeared into the dark. They make regular appearances and are reported on by Western media outlets fairly often.

                Only proscecuted for their entire life for the crime of journalism. It is truly pointless to point out the hypocrisy of Western censorship to those who believe in the myth. No matter the amount of evidence they will deny everything.
