Oppression Is Here At Home, And Politicians Don’t Want To Talk About It
All of these people are right, and what we re seeing from entertainment, tech, and sports is disgusting; but let s stop and think honestly about this. Do you live your life in fear that you ll say something that offends the Chinese Communist Party? Do you worry that upsetting China will lose you your job, or your friends, or your good name, or your own family? Unless you work for a movie studio or a professional sports league, chances are the dangers of crossing China have never crossed your mind.
But does that mean you have real freedom of thought? Not at all. And we all know exactly what we re talking about here: In America, there is an aggressive, totalitarian ideology that wants to punish anyone who publicly dissents, and it s not pushed by the Communist Party in China it s pushed by our own ruling class.
“Do you live your life in fear that you ll say something that offends the Chinese Communist Party? Do you worry that upsetting China will lose you your job, or your friends, or your good name, or your own family?” Uhhh, yes?
Freedom of thought is something you have to exercise. Use it or lose it.
There’s a substantial part of our ruling class that would slot right in rather comfortably in various middle and upper levels of the CCP. One hopes there are not so many of them that we are doomed, but in any event, let’s make sure they are in for a fight.
