It's called double-standards. It's OK to cut free speech for those you don't like, it's not OK to cut free speech for those you like.
First they came for the right-wing neo-nazis, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a right-wing neo-nazi.
Wonder where this goes this time.
I don't follow your argument. Is it that we should not worry about morals and ethics, and instead just look at actions in vacuum, and decide whether or not an action should be taken with no regard to context?
It's not hypocritical for someone to believe that Cloudflare should kick nazis off their service and at the same time believe Blizzard should stand up to China.
Human beings are capable of exercising nuance and understanding complex topics. I don't want to generally go around punching or kicking people, but if I'm cornered and someone is trying to do harm to me, I'm going to fight back. It's the context around such actiona that defines whether or not it was just.

The difference is pretty clear.
In a democratic society, the people voices are heard.
In a dictatorship, only the small elite that controls the government's voice is heard.
They seem pretty comparable to me.
