“What about in Hong Kong where they made it so that the leaders are no longer publicly elected? What about Tiannenmen Square were hundreds of people were killed for protesting the Dengist regime? What about how China’s internet is blocked by a firewall meaning you cannot search for various things the government doesn’t want you to search for? What about how journalists punish foreign journalists by removing their press credentials when they say something critical of the government’s policies? What about when in 2019 the All China Journalists Association updated its code of ethics saying that they have to take an exam proving that they are guided by Xi Jinping thought”
How would you counter these statements?

And remember, you don’t have freedom of speech in the USA.
Say something they don’t like, and you are gone from twitter, YT, FB, etc.
You have the ‘freedom’ to scream into the void.
But as soon as you start making headway, you will suddenly be deplatformed.
u/Hortaleza - originally from r/GenZhouYou’re so right, Cointelpro definitely ended in the 60s and is no longer going on
