In communist country, as an author, you have to praise some ideals and ideas because otherwise you are being ostracized and dying from hunger. In a modern "democratic" society you have to praise some ideals and ideas because otherwise you are being ostracized and dying from hunger.
It's so nice to have choices and to be able to freely write whatever you think or you fancy...
- morbicer 3y agoNah, that's a load of horsecrap. In a modern "democratic" society you can praise staunch leftist ideas (Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Tariq Ali) or very right ones (Ayn Rand, Roger Scruton, Milton Friedman) and be respected. Liu Cixin supports Uighur concentration camps and is widely popular. You can literally self-publish and sell almost anything on Amazon or similar sites. Very fringe opinions still find they readers and buyers. Of course if you start spilling vile racist, misogynistic and hateful slop you might get shamed. Rightfully. I grew up in a communist country and you have no idea about the censorship back then. And North Korea is way worse.
