>The next global conflict will likely be one between the east and the west, with control of information being advantageous to both sides in the conflict

Your linked position is that this is basically an ideological war, and that China won't quit until it has destroyed "liberalism." So why are you advocating the destruction of a key aspect of liberalism, the right to the free spread of ideas?

This reeks of classic red scare techniques. Those damn Chinese are more concerned with destroying our way of life than internal affairs, and we must abandon our values to stop the risk.



I guess I shouldn't be scared US citizens are so eager to drop fundamental rights for "freedom".

But I am. HN is a forum of quite intelligent people and surprises me to see so many people see US as a bastion of freedom...


That reek made me quote the "ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water" and "precious bodily fluids" scenes from Dr. Strangelove on another TikTok thread, and now I can't even search for the comment, so that's definitely reminding me of red scare.
