Hope you're not planning on visiting the UK or any American metropole anytime soon either then
No it isn't, that's laughable. The US has far and away the worst most heinous surveillance of its citizens, not to mention the citizens of other nations as well. Try reading a summary of what Snowden revealed about the US state surveillance programs for instance
you think it's better that the US tries to hide all of its nefarious (and frankly worse) spying? what the hell???
I'm not from China but I've been there and it isn't hard to speak with people from China to learn that it's not some dystopia. US is hands down far more of a police state.
I highly doubt that. It sounds like you're someone who's never had your material security threatened. There's no other way you could imagine that unrestricted pickup artist and grind set entrepreneur internet is more valuable than the Chinese peoples' ongoing victories against crushing poverty.
Of course you fucking do numbnuts. Who the fuck do you think owns all the media? The proles? I sure love all the proletarian mainstream media we have around here. Oh my fucking god I feel so fucking represented!
Lack of control over the media results in the bourgeoisie exercising their financial power to use it to control the superstructure of society, through entertainment, art and more everything becomes the cultural product of the bourgeoisie. The outcome of which is a bourgeoise-led society and ultimately this leads to bourgeoise politics.
yeah until you get popular and you suddenly have 3 bullet wounds to the back of the head, if you somehow even have the money to start a media outlet that challenges state power
please for the love of god actually look into how the world works. How do you suppose that people will learn about your new resource? the power of friendship? how do you hire the journalists needed to expand your sources? All this shit takes capital dumbass, me and you would never be able to get the capital to run something like that unless we were already rich by other means, media is a saturated field.
And good fucking god do you really think coups and assassinations don't happen anymore? the US was just exposed for couping pakistan, and Julian Assange is going to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable short life for exposing US war crimes and secrets, you literally know fucking nothing about the world this is embarrasing
Ok
Way to demonstrate his point.

In the US corporations do the censorship and it isn't better. Also, if that trumps everything for you, a reexamination of priorities is probably in order. There are actually more important things than reactionaries being able to say whatever they want online. Facebook was used to help commit genocide in some countries for example, is that OK for you or should the calls for genocide have been censored?
Dumb fuck!
