Of course not being able to access a website you want (and censorship in general) is not good, but comparing that to slavery is absolutely ridiculous.

- guard-of-terra 10y agoNot being able to make choices for yourself is slavery. Slavery is not about hard work or poor conditions. There were plenty free men who had it harder and some slaves that led cushy life. Slavery is about not being a master for yourself.
- zepto 10y agoCan you point to anywhere where that definition is in common use other than by you?
- stcredzero 10y agoThere were plenty free men who had it harder and some slaves that led cushy life. Slavery is about not being a master for yourself. Truth. There is a difference between privilege and power. When it comes down to it, we are all only slaves or free by degrees in this world. This world, as it is legally formulated, pretty much codifies Mao's observation that all power comes out of the end of a gun. This is not an exaggeration. It's literally how international law works.
- jza00425 10y agoBy your definition, i am pretty sure that you are a slave.
- guard-of-terra 10y agoI happen to be, since I live in a country on par with China.

- guard-of-terra 10y agoThey'd like to, but they mostly not there. You can roam the web regardless of what they think.
