    Ok.

    A good thing : less advertising

    A bad thing : less free speech

    You?

      Good thing: complete and total efficiency in scientific projects that benefit the state. (Really had to reach for one.)

      Bad thing: death camps

        China has deathcamps but totalitarianism does not imply deathcamps.

        Good : no control over life’s necessities by profit seeking entities.

          totalitarianism does not imply deathcamps.

          Death camps are necessary for totalitarian states. It’s baked into the system. I suggest reading that article or browsing through the sources here.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism

          You’re either unaware of the history of totalitarian states, or you’re arguing in bad faith. Either way I don’t see any benefit for either of us to continue this thread.

          Edit: oh… You’re just a shitposting troll. https://sh.itjust.works/post/36481322/18145723

        That’s probably the western corruption at work.
