That's a false dichotomy
You can have a country that's not confused about it's place in the world and without one half of the population wanting to kill the other half and still have freedom of expression and democracy.
- smhost 5y agoThat's just conjecture. In order to have a unified world (e.g. the Chinese world), you need a minimum of common ground (facts, historical narrative, etc) that you can base your genuine differences on. Without this minimum of common ground, populations are just splitting into relativist camps where even the most basic facts can't be agreed on.

There are plenty of examples where people have agreed on a common narrative without an oppressive regime.
