It would be naïve to believe the west is immune. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

I am curious what (if anything) OP wrote that leads you to believe OP thinks the west is immune?

OP says:

> This is not a conscious act. It's more like gravity. Gallivanting glaciers. Or weather.

I'm saying it's naïve to believe this, along with the other incidents mentioned within the article, aren't intentional. As if the west is immune to concerted censorship efforts and the only explanation is unconscious bias.
