- carabiner 1y agoYeah, that's been so effective!
- intalentive 1y agoThe West also crushes dissent: try to organize a pro-Palestinian protest on a university campus and tell us how it goes. Crushing dissent is simply what governments do.

This will require a ruling class that 1) is competent and 2) cares for the people it governs.
