Yes, that’s a perfectly good explanation for why they need to block wikipedia, deviantart, archiveofourown, github, bandcamp, lemmy.ml, and mastodon.social: they’re all just fronts in the Capitalist Information War
Well, they’re all methods by which culturally-bankrupt, ideologically-hued art and tech from the West could potentially slip past, ESPECIALLY where settler techbros are concerned regarding github and NSApedia-- I mean wikipedia; but you’re being a deliberately-obtuse settler sinophobe right now, so of course you’re not going to absorb that.
One of these days, y’all
gonna learn the “Great Firewall” y’all mald about is for your protection
Much as I enjoy arguments with strangers on the Internet, you’ve reminded me of my resolution to avoid the most silly ones. If you think I’m a sinophobe your judgement is very poor.
Suuure… nothing to do with the fact that they’re a decadent and corrupt failed socialist dictatorship, no sir. Not at all an attempt at stopping ACTUAL communists from toppling their government, oh no.
And there’s the predictable, seemingly unavoidable Western need to project their own conditions onto anyone they declare an enemy of state. If you really believe CIA-backed color revolters are the ‘actual communists’, you’ve done no investigation of your own, and as a result don’t deserve the voice you confidently, ignorantly speak with.
Largely unwittingly. Most of us are labor aristocrats of the imperial core who have been propagandized our entire lives in liberal imperialist ideology.
Then there’s the media.
Joseph Kahn, the managing editor of the NYT, is a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, as are the CEOs of NPR (here’s Katherine Maher again) and PBS. These are just ones I know off the top of my head. The Council of Foreign Relations is a place where the government and the capitalist class hash out the media’s agenda. On its founding, Walter Lippman was its head of research. The title of Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman’s Manufacturing Consent came from a quote in Lippmann’s book, Public Opinion.
A couple more I can think of: CNN’s Anderson Cooper was born into money and interned at the CIA. MSNBC’s Jen Psaki, who was also born into wealth, was Obama’s and Biden’s press secretary.

🥱
Lies, skullduggery, and willful ignorance in service of manifold atrocity have always been the settler’s stock-in-trade. Hold your ratio.

Blows my mind how people like you can ciriticise another government and ingore the centuries of atrocities committed by your own.

I don’t want protecting, please open it up and let all the fascists here get absolutely fucking decimated every time they post something online.
Katherine Maher used to be the CEO of Wikimedia. Her resume is riddled with US military-industrial complex:
Meet Wikipedia’s Ayn Rand-loving founder and Wikimedia Foundation’s regime-change operative CEO
Wikipedia formally censors The Grayzone as regime-change advocates monopolize editing
