Being tame means won't have the desire to revolt against tyranny.
You might can't imagine that, coz you probably didn't live under one.
Currently in China, there are tons of people (personally I'd say most) prefer to live inside the "protection against malicious misinformation" of the great firewall. They have "everything they want" there, they listen to authoritative info and fend off doubts spontaneously.
- dang 8y agoPlease stop taking HN threads into nationalistic flamewar about China. That's not what this site is for. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- shadowxs76 8y agoOh please, piss off. Some of the best commentary I've personally seen about the very real dystopian nightmare slowly being built in China is right here at Hacker News, so if someone wants to take a discussion thread about technology helping tyranny into China territory, i'd call that an excellent fit. If the comments are informative and descriptive of ideas that are relevant to factual events (yes China really is authoritarian and using high technology to become ever more so in many ways) then it's hardly just nationalistic flamewar or insult.
