    I like how you just conveniently ignore the part about a dictator oppression.

    The key word here is oppression.

    A country that is closing its eyes and deserves what they’re going to get is the US. In 20 or 30 years when the US is an authoritarian oppressive State then at that point the people don’t have a choice, just like they don’t in Russia today.

    Authoritarian oppressive states don’t just let the people think what they want to think. You are groomed and indoctrinated the moment you receive education until the day you die. The easiest way to control a populace is for the populace to not even know they’re being controlled.

    A key factor to that is limiting and restricting access to outside information. Which is what Russia does which is why the Tor project is so important
