Get your message out to your peers. Write your representatives. And vote on representatives who plans to change whatever it is that you're indirectly complaining about.

Otherwise it sounds like you're talking vaguely about what I can only interpret as a conspiracy theory of some kind but I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

There's a great Mitchell and Webb sketch called "are we the baddies" -google (or better yet, qwant) it. If you can't put yourself in their shoes, well, you'll never get it.

Which just goes to show you more or less why the Chinese guy above doesn't see anything wrong with how his country's regime polices content either.

Anyway, have some more ruling class propaganda: https://twitter.com/WokeCapital/status/1081583730018476032

>>> If I were and could get my message out (people are trying on youtube; they're being censored), well, no doubt my life would be worth girl scout cookies. I'd be unpersonned at the very least.

It would be helpful if you precisely specified which ideas you think are getting censored on youtube and could cause you to get "unpersonned" before you start throwing around vague insinuations like that. Otherwise what you say has very little credibility.

I don't see what any of this has to do with the original point about censorship.

If you don't like the military contractors, protest them and vote for change instead of trying to use it to rationalize China's censorship campaign.

I'm not rationalizing China's censorship program; I'm pointing out that the US has a more effective one.
