Liberal democracy is a dream

First of all, as far as a documentary is concerned, I don't like it very much. Many dialogues are too complicated, and the images are piled up one by one. It may be that everyone knows about these events themselves, and there is no surprise at all if they are reproduced in chronological order. It may be that I have watched too few documentaries, and I do not understand how good thing-based documentaries are.
Then there is the event itself. As someone at the end of the film (I don't know who) said, what we now call privacy is a representative of liberal democracy. If there is no privacy, where would freedom and democracy come from. In fact, I really want to say, where does the absolute power in this world come from? To put it more realistically, it is a sovereign state. When an individual faces such a body of power, how much privacy is there? The Snowton incident is that the United States slapped itself. It is not how much privacy and liberal democracy have been trampled on, but that the liberal and democratic theory that the United States has been advocating as a "representative of Western imperialism" is just a bunch of nonsense.
What is freedom and what is democracy, that is what the rulers give to the people under the eyes of the rulers. To be honest, the Celestial Dynasty is much more honest than the Americans on this point. I can tell you that what I give you is limited freedom and limited democracy. List those who have some or not. The American people, and even the Western people are living in a dream, wake up, what does personal privacy mean to the country, I think the key is not how much privacy the country has, and how perfect and reliable systems and mechanisms are to control it. For this information, the concept of privacy is relative to individuals, and there is no privacy for individuals in the country, and there is no democracy. Liberal democracy is just a dream. It is no different from communism. When it is realized, human beings may not be human anymore. It is purely a tool of American nonsense.

    Fortunately, I paid attention to the whole incident at the beginning and had the background as a foreshadowing, so although the subtitles were shit, I basically knew what was said. This is a premeditated and ambitious documentary. It is definitely more intuitive, more comprehensive, more three-dimensional, and more shocking than the original written report. For the first time in Hong Kong, people felt that the original documentary can also be thrilling.

    7.5 It's not just Big Brother watching you from behind, but an invisible chaos from the abyss. The countless tentacles stretched out are always ready to devour you; the history of mankind is a history of political degeneration. The so-called American emperors The hat of the beacon of freedom is only relative to your country on the other side of the ocean. In fact, everyone is half a pound.
