It’s pretty hilarious how the west keeps pushing the narrative that the differentiating factor with liberal democracies is the freedom of expression. Liberals argue that their model of society is stronger precisely because wide range of debate is allowed, and thus different view points can be considered. Turns out that in practice that’s not the case at all. Liberals have shown themselves to be incapable of entertaining any ideas outside their narrow world view.
It’s the height of irony that societies such as Cuba and China that liberals denounce as being authoritarian and rigid have proven themselves to be highly flexible and adaptable while the “free thinking” west has become the bastion of intellectual rigidity.
