This is also true of the far left in the US. Their attempts to increasingly censor, deplatform, ban, cancel, and so forth suggests that they are scared that people do not think like they do. And with that comes a bend towards authoritarianism and fascist control, the very things they claim to be against. But just like with the chicken and the egg, I cannot rightly tell if either the CCP or the American far left are acting out of fear, or if they are just exercising newly-gained power. It may simply be that they're putting new power to work, testing the waters to entrench their positions further.
