Love too live in a society with a free press

Yeah, people complain about this (rightfully so) but it's still worlds apart from the muzzled or murdered press in places like China and Russia.

I don't disagree with you factually, but why bring this up? This is essentially the same as pointing out that women have it worse elsewhere in the world anytime we talk about patriarchy in the US.

Because there's a ton of CCP and Kremlin propaganda on Lemmy and some people need to be reminded of the truth.

The truth is that Russia and China are not related to this post at all. If anything, you're trying to downplay the issue, but it is slow degradation what allows these things to establish as something normal and acceptable.
