Preventing brain drain

So the state should have control over who goes out of the country and who doesn't? Freedom of movement is a human right. You know that, right?

see this page https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Holodomor and the one linked at the top there as well.

Bruh... Seriously? You talk about western propaganda when you link an article that references a website called "StalinSociety"? Come on now...

They don’t.

Uhhh I was referencing Soviet occupied countries like Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Czechia, etc.

Why are you refusing to talk about them? Go ahead. Talk about them

Uggh cuz it's fkin obvious, that's why. Cult leader, no democracy, public executions (source being North Korean asylum seekers. Oh, but they must be western propaganda too, amirite?), suppression of freedom of speech, suppression of freedom of movement, etc.

who cares serious

See? That's your problem. "They fucked athiests, so we fuck them back". You're just like them. I am safe near you right now because I agree with you. What if I don't? Religion plays a major role in people's identities. That's dumb, sure. But that doesn't harm you in any way. Sure, tax the churches. Do all that. However, if someone wants to practice their religion, let them be.

So that they could develop their own tech solutions. I don’t see what’s so difficult about it. Oh, the horror, China does not have access to shitty braindead tiktoks, we need to bring them freedom in the form of ICBMs! Seriously, who gives a shit. Have you asked the Chinese what they think of the firewall? They don’t care. They love their local tech solutions, their own social media, and the laws surrounding it. They get a VPN if they want to see whatever the fuck racist crackers are saying about them and COVID-19 conspiracy theories. And then they realize, damn we have it good in China.

So the internet is just for braindead tiktoks? Is it not for free media that criticizes the government? Is it not for ideas outside the official governmental/societal narrative? Do economically protectionist policies justify suppressing an individuals right to free information/education? I can access Chinese socialism and its workings from official chinese sources freely. Can a Chinese individual do the same via Google without a VPN? I can have e2ee conversations with my friends via Signal (which has no privacy issues too) about communist ideals. Can a Chinese individual say "Fuck the CCP and Jinping the Pooh" on Signal? No, cuz Signal (an open sourced application) is banned in China.
