Jk, that shit happens, but when it does it becomes massive news stories instead of being suppressed, and it is allowed to have ripple effects across politics and society instead of the government imprisoning anyone who mentions abuses.
I’m watching the US government running interference for Israel and arresting students for being anti-genocide/ pro-Palestine. Legacy corporate media burying articles on Palestine and Israeli war crimes on US gov’t behalf. Legacy corporate media lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as a pretense to invade and later laundering and resurrecting war criminal George W. Bush’s reputation after the war. Corporate media’s suppression of Biden’s senility while in office and now Jake Tapper is on a propaganda tour saying what everyone knew all along even though Democratic party insiders would straight up lie about it.
Not saying China good. Obviously what they did is awful. I’m saying the US is also not great.

To be fair, someone else replied to mention the Tulsa Race Massacre… Something that I (and every American I’ve spoken to about it) did not know existed prior to seeing the Watchmen TV series.
There is being ignorant and there is being censored. Information on the Tulsa race riot is freely available, information on the Tiananmen Square massacre is actively suppressed in China.
One is your own failing, the other is manipulation
The information is freely available because you can do nothing about it. The student protests about israel were shut down. If it was deemed a greater threat, then even more violence would have been used.
