  • Changing the material conditions within a society is probably the safest way to lead to the development of consciousness within the masses. It’s not fast, but there’s a saying, if an egg is cracked from within, it becomes new life, if it cracks from without, it becomes a meal. I hope this helps the people progress towards a better more equitable society, but it may be a drop in the ocean, and it’ll take a lot more drops to raise the level of the sea.







  • Repression of hate speech is objectively a good thing. “Free speech” in our society is a dog whistle for allowing far right to spread conspiracy and lies without any repercussions. Western media heavily suppresses speech that cuts against their interests. Say “free luigi” on Facebook or instagram and see what happens. Say “free Palestine” on instagram and see what happens. Yet, literal fascists are allowed to (and even further spread by people like musk) to spread antisemitic conspiracies and objectively false and misleading pseudoscience without issue. Hundreds of left leaning journalists were banned on X in one day, for nothing more than being ideologically opposite to Elon Musk.

    Put simply, the illusion of “freedom of speech” in the west is just that, an illusion. China does not suppress the majority of speech, they just don’t allow ideologues to sew conflict and falsehoods.
