sure. i have my hands full you know. i currently live in a place where posting a video or tweeting is seen as a threat to the country and journalists are being arrested left and right. just yesterday. https://thekashmirwalla.com/kashmiri-journalist-charged-for-...

i remember a time when religious folks used to feverently talk against "communism" as if it was a plague and all those dried up once ussr collapsed. turns out usa was funding anti-ussr sentiments in my hometown because why not.

sure. i do not enjoy "freedom of expression", living in a similar place like china.

i get your point. china is pushing their agenda aggressively but the way i have seen it in the last 40 odd years, 20 with the whole "war on terror" and "wmd" and even "gaddafi" and "arab spring", i find america just as dirty. you may not like it but remember, gaddafi wanted to trade in gold and not in american dollars and he was killed for that. same for saddam.

i personally believe having seen some action, no country, india, china, usa, france is willing to uphold "freedom of expression" if it threatens its interests, business interests. thats a simple fact. unless you face that
