RE: Free speech is the enemy of power

in #informationwar4 years ago

I really liked the second part of your post. However the first part and specially this : "The actions of China and the U.N. discussed in the video appear to be directed more toward maintaining their power / authority than solving a public health crisis". I disagree regarding PRC. Numbers on the ground tell another story.

Thank you for pointing that out. You are correct that I should have recognized that many well-intentioned physicians / scientists / leaders in PRC made every effort within their abilities to prevent the virus spread and treat patients (and that such efforts met with success) without regard to misinformation and stifling of information exchange promoted by the leadership.

When I spoke of China, I referred to its government, which has a well-documented history of corrupt actions (which is something that can probably to said of all centralized authorities). I do not have an opinion (or knowledge) of whether the Israeli government is involved in any propaganda campaign against China and believe that it is likely that Israel has its hands full with regional and internal issues. I reject the notion that individual persons of the jewish faith have any coordinated intent to take any action against China. In fact, I do not attribute any malicious motive to particular groups of people based on identifies (whether jewish, chinese, caucasion or otherwise). People act as individuals or collectively through their respective nation-states. People are not bees in a hive (no pun intended) that act in unison base on identities. There are element of supremacy present in many cultures all around the world.
