This concept is the enemy of the concept of Liberté that has blessed so many of us in the West.
Something beautiful and as sacred as the freedom from forced labor and the freedom to choose your trade, is the concept of the free and unbounded innocence of voices asking their leaders and each other these questions, to determine amongst ourselves what is fair and not, for our own betterment and the beauty of free enterprise.
It’s not so much that the Chinese state is an awful power to behold (it is and fuck Poohhead) but this same politics is on the rise in the West and it leads to war. It always leads to war. And now the most automated form of state propaganda the world has ever seen is in the hands of a ruthless ruling class that can, has, and will steal bread from children’s hands, and literally take the medicine from the sick to pad their pockets.
Such is the twisted fate of society and likely always will be.
