As a former PRC Citizen, this fucking hurts.

Why is every country I step foot in, either a dictatorship, or is becoming, a dictatorship?

    This is what happens when you allow a voice to everyone. Stupid people shouldn’t have such a reach.

      Hmm, I’d say it is about smart people reaching stupid (I prefer the term uneducated) people with content that corrupts them.

      US neglected the fact that a proper democracy needs well educated people with own opinions to not collapse. Own opinions, like being able to say way that is the own opinion and upon what facts it is built upon.
      Additionally learning to have/feel empathy is just as important.
