"Internal propaganda is still better than foreign propaganda." — Kim Jong Un, explaining why North Koreans shouldn't have internet access

I understand and agree with the sentiment. No matter what kind of awful nonsense Fat Kim imposes upon his people, at least it's by a person who ostensibly cares about his own country. Other countries hate America and they want to destroy it. We shouldn't let them.

It's very telling nobody cares about free speech until the free speech of China is affected. We don't have free speech anyways, why allow Chinese propaganda designed to destroy America.

We need free speech, don't you get it anymore?

Citizens need free speech, which we already do not have. Foreign corps can go fuck themselves.

And censoring information and communications, and the government deciding what is right and wrong, is not free speech.

I know. And they're already doing it. Why would I ever just want to protect China's freedom to influence Americans when I am not allowed to.
