At this point their base is so drone like why even bother trying to justify it.

It would be refreshing to see them just go "because I am in charge, and I said so."

At least then it wouldn't also be sticky with disgusting lies.

They have to keep the charade up at least until they have eliminated all opposition and taken complete control. Then they will dispense with the useful idiots and charade, in that order.

Nailed it. Everyone better start learning Chinese.

Mandarin is a difficult language to learn and I doubt I'll be around long enough to learn it.

I like Mandarin oranges. Does that count?

Don't worry, you don't need to speak while working in a concentration camp.

Mandarin isn't that hard to learn to speak. The tonal part sucks but tenses and genders just don't exist. Reading and writing is the epically hellacious part of it.

True, same with the censorship on social media. Always for some specious policy "reason" - never telling you directly.

Leastways, the Chinese are like: "Yes, we censor you", and don't beat around the bush (not that that is any better; it isn't).

No MAGA supporter should be feeding the social media platforms that have betrayed our fundamental right to freedom of speech. There are other ways to be informed; and if not, we will invent them now. Elon? where are you, bro? Got billions?

Egads...if Elon would only make a cell phone equivalent of a Tesla, it'd sell like hotcakes. Then he could create his own platform and give us all a place to return to normal communication and maybe privacy.

He could do it with some of those spare billions he has lying around the factory

Elon told everyone to download and use 'Signal' which is more like a Peer-to-Peer thing that can't be stopped.
