> Ah yes, censorship makes people unable to see whether their lives are good or not. A real genius argument you've mustered here.
Wow, you're just going to be all sorts of mean today... feels bad...
But I think maybe I was unclear. I wasn't claiming the majority of the population in China was unhappy with their lives, or that we shouldn't believe them when they claim to be happy. My point was, it's bad policy to believe an opinion poll, in this case the arguably uneducated populace opinion of how democratic a country is, over experts in the field.
> You should also let people like Manning and Assange know that they shouldn't be worried about being sent into an interment camp.
Interesting red herring here, but my views on the reasonability of these two prosecutions. At least they were for crimes, not related to "subversion of state power". And the fact that there's really only 2 you can name also speaks volumes compared to the volumes you need for the number arrested by CCP.
