because they don’t have political freedom. there’s no stuff like “you can speak your mind as long as you’re respectful”

And the West definitely, absolutely has that

i mean yeah, literally, look at how the Iranian regime is allowed to post its anti-US propaganda lego movies on Twitter.

edit: nvm that was a bad take.

Look at how many people have been arrested and jailed for saying "From the river to the sea"

yeah the UK is going downhill very quickly and it's evident in how nervously they respond to that saying.

Guess you haven't been following the news lately.

Yet just as these creative expressions of national resistance reached peak global influence, YouTube jumped in. The platform suspended the Explosive Media channel under baseless allegations of policy violations, effectively silencing a powerful voice of dissent

What followed was a transparent smear campaign by Western media outlets, led by the BBC, aimed at discrediting the creators and justifying the censorship. Their goal was clear: to silence any narrative that dared challenge the official US-Israeli framing of the aggression.

i indeed only found out about that rn

Yeah, how amazing that I can see anti-US propaganda Lego movies whenever I want. That's what will ignite the revolution that makes our lives better, really some serious dissent that can conceivably lead to real change here.

Shitposts and memes about dissent to satiate the mases while all the real political discourse by activists with any real chance of accomplishing anything are censored and criminalised. Look at what happens to journalists objectively covering Iran, Israel, ICE, you name it. Look at how the protestors against oil pipelines or police racial violence are treated. So much freedom of speech for those people.

To be fair i speak my mind in a disrespectful way daily of the shit stained leader of the usa. They just let me do it.

Lol try actually advocating against him. They let you speak until the instant they think you might change something and have gotten really good at gauging that.
