Instead of a swaggering cowboy movie star grandstanding in front of some cameras, pointing his finger and saying, “Now there’s some folks out there who say we need government to boss us around. Well call me old fashioned, but I say we need more individual freedom!” we get the Chinese mirror of that scene: “Now a lot of folks have been talkin’ up a hoot about freedom. Well call me old fashioned, but I say we need to be controlled!”
Right down to the reaction: instead of a bunch of obese American landlords who imagine themselves rugged ranchers cheering their cowboy hero, we have a room full of dutifully obedient servants applauding state slavery! What?!? I thought you had to fool people into believing you’re in favor of freedom if you wanted to get them to willingly applaud. You mean you can just come out and say, “I support a feudal system that oppresses you and me,” and people will say, “Yes, yes! That is what I agree with!”? That sure cuts out the middleman: why go to all the trouble of pretending to have a free society like we do in the U.S.?
No matter in what country, it truly does take a rare spirit to defy the mainstream consensus imposed by the state and the times.
