Censorship? Its rich talking censorship in China when America is one of the most propagandized nations in existence. If I was China I would also censor the fuck out of America.
Censorship and propaganda are different
What a weird comment to make
Both are tools to control the narrative.
But you can just talk about censorship in America
There different forms of censorship. Flooding the dominant platforms with the official message to obscure opposition opinions, shadowbanning posts, etc are softer forms of censorship but are still censorship. The rulership class is fine with people voicing their opinions if they feel it doesn't threaten their power. They will crack down harder when that feeling changes.
America has both, so wtf you on about?
How does the US being full of propaganda change the fact that China has a lot of censorship?
Both can be true at the same time, you know...
Its almost like hegemonies and individual freedoms can be at odds with each other no matter what country it is.
How does the US having propaganda mean they dont have censorship? America literally has a fuckton of both.
