The people passively or actively supporting this stuff because it suits their ideological aims are mentally more aligned with the guards over at China's Uyghur concentration camps than they are to the freedom orientated people who founded the country they're currently occupying. Shoulder shrugs and "ugh, fuck, well at least it's the people we disagree with" at best.

  Ah yes the slave owning freedom orientated people who founded the country would know best about freedom.

    If you give that a little thought you'll realize that their first hand experience in the above matter would probably better qualify them on the topic of freedom and slavery than anything you can personally speak to. And regardless, the point stands. The people who are cheering the silencing of the "other" are morally aligned with those championing the "re-education" of the other over in China. In fact, the former even broached the topic of how to "re-educate" their opponents on social media recently.

nope. if youtube was the only way to post/watch video online AND it would be owned by the government this argument would maybe make sense. but youtube is not owned by the govt. vote with your wallet and make them irrelevant if you disagree with what they are doing.
