    Yeah, I don’t understand how all that stuff you brought up relates at all to the false claim that Chinese people can’t talk about tiannamen.

    For it to be related a person would have to be some kind of freedom of speech absolutist, which is why I asked if you thought governments should ever limit speech.

    Come on, I’m finally engaging with all the stuff you asked a million years ago, you should be happy!

      I think you should talk to my friend, maybe he could explain my position to you since I can’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        So are you a speech absolutist? You said authoritarian a bunch of times too, how are you defining that?

          I don’t really understand your questions and am going to pretend they aren’t relevant so…

            You don’t need to pretend.

            Weather the Chinese government exerts any control over speech about tiannamen is immaterial to the false, sinophobic claim that Chinese people can’t talk about it.

                    Responding to me like a significant other after a whole conversation filled with every kind of manipulation and misdirection imaginable probably isn’t the flex you think it is.
