What can an unfree society teach you about freedom? In 6+ years living in China as a journalist, I was informed on, spied on, tailed when traveling. This is nothing compared to what Chinese go through if targeted. Here are 14 lessons—and warnings—that many need to hear: https://t.co/f4R0P1lhCS

People will adapt to oppression sooner than they will rebel. It's human nature to seek the path of least resistance. There's a reason that subversives tend to be social misfits. https://t.co/6uT93yPGU9
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
The most effective censorship is first legal, then social, then internal. Once people have learned to avoid certain topics ("that's too sensitive"), they cease to have anything to say on it. https://t.co/eJkGz7FFAF
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
A repressive system makes selfish behavior rational. When the law is seen as an instrument of coercion, and enforcement is selective, a reasonable response is to ignore the law. This is why much of daily life in China felt paradoxically free. https://t.co/5lMty47xuv

Ruining 1 person who threatens the regime sends a message that will be heard by 10,000. "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys" is the old Chinese expression. Bring down a powerful person, intimidate society. https://t.co/cWtLxO7yVu

If you can limit the words people use, you can limit the thoughts they think. Since despots can never limit speech completely, they seek ever-more intrusive methods of intervention. Chat software wouldn't let you send certain words. Even workarounds were banned. https://t.co/ItH94ap9VI
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
Even decent people will choose to be blind if seeing injustice would hurt their interests. We're all prey to this. Only those with nothing to lose—and the rare great soul—will stick out their necks when another has run afoul of the system. https://t.co/NURYyitysX
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
If the government lies, many will still accept it as true because of the authority of the office. It's very difficult to accept that someone you believe should be respected is willing to deceive you. https://t.co/dHJejzG455
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
Destroying a people's cultural & religious identity, severing them from their history, punishing their defenders, and making them ashamed of who they are, is a brutally effective way to annihilate a threat. Ever wonder why Hollywood stopped talking about Tibet? https://t.co/O65MpjMB6u
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
The goal of an unfree system is to protect itself by transferring your distrust of the state to fellow citizens. Making you mistrust, suspect, and undermine your neighbors is its great defense. "Divide and conquer" works at home. https://t.co/7NoEwdsjdm
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
In an unfree society, the wealth and privileges amassed by politicians become state secrets. Protected from the threat of exposure, politicians do not hesitate to sell the public's interests to those who make them rich. https://t.co/C2UvKNAPDq
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
If the government shows it has your interests at heart, many are happy to trade freedoms for it. The state can earn immense goodwill so long as people believe it is working to make life better for them. In a society long used to suffering, change is good. https://t.co/iimdz7RJBI
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
Corruption corrupts everything. Once people know the privileged have taken shortcuts, they are justified in seeking shortcuts themselves. The less freedom you have, the less responsibility you feel. https://t.co/4JFYgH5VHV
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
Even politicians who fight like dogs will protect one another against the people. This is because they live by different laws. Corruption is inevitable. If one is exposed, they all are. https://t.co/Wx8pecRrDg
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
History must continually be rewritten to serve the purposes of the present. Yesterday's villains become today's heroes. Yesterday's heroes are dragged through the mud. The people must play along as if nothing has happened. https://t.co/eYq8H5R5qz
@bfcarlson - Benjamin Carlson
None of this is unique to China, of course. In daily life, people I met were warm, dynamic, optimistic. I still miss many things since leaving in 2018. But the lessons have stayed with me. Freedom is a fragile thing.

Here's my retweet on request for Stephen L. Miller... I've lived in China for 25 years. Debunking the misunderstandings due to propaganda & lies is an endless task. 1. The photo is of a seminar for Uyghurs prisoners and has nothing to do with genocide or oppression of anyone. "Uyghurs genocide" is the oldest false repeatedly debunked propaganda lie about China. You can fly there any time you like to see for yourself. We've seen thousands of slaughtered Gaza babies by U.S. bombs & Zionist IDF snipers but not one single dead Uyghurs child ever anywhere. Any person can fly in and out of Xinjiang taking thousands of photos nobody checks their photos when they leave so they can easily post anything to social media. Here's my 2020 video explaining the facts about the Uyghurs in XinJiang anyone can go see with their own eyes https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-09-03/Xinjiang-Evil-genocide-blue-skies-and-Santa-Claus-Tu7DvPmX0Q/index.html Jerry Grey & Fernando Munoz have both travelled traveled thousands of miles around XinJiang by RV & bikes and have dozens of videos 2. Jimmy Lai was convicted in open public Hong Kong court of seditious conspiracy...the 800 pages of evidence are public record Here's what he did... How would the U.S. government react...if the owner of the New York Times personally met with senior Russian or Chinese officials...lobbying them actively to bring down the U.S. government...coordinating active campaigns to achieve "U.S. implosion" ...and used the NYT as an institutional tool for all this...all clearly documented in Jimmy Lai's own messages?" That's what Jimmy Lai did. The U.S. would convict & jail anyone even more severely. Justice has been served and served with full transparency in public court proceedings & records any person can review #China #CounterPointGlobal #JimmyLai #Olympics
