I'd like to agree, but this only happens if you are able to dissolve the administration you disagree with.

- rolltiide 7y agoThey have freedom of speech codified in law and very many exceptions. Opining on issues of sovereignty being one big exception. Its an unexpected one to Western audiences, coupled with a non-existent appeals process and no distinction between private and public sector in state-planned system. So you’ll be deplatformed by private sector - just like if you have non establishment views in countries you respect - and also sanctioned by public sector. The point is that to them it wouldn’t be viewed as freedom of speech not being upheld. Just like if things you did were ruled “obscene” or “hateful” or imminently harmful in the US: there is an appeals process in US but the courts might not support you. Just add “secession” to the list and maybe itll all make sense?
