It's high time we all realize the lengths that the CCP is willing to go to suppress basic human rights. It is not enough for them to do it in their own soil, they are now trying to silence dissent in other sovereign countries and the companies are helping them. Blizzard and NBA are just the start.

Some of you may say that Blitzchung shouldn't have done it at a public interview (which I can see the reasoning, and disagree with). But I think we can all agree that Blizzard's response is way overblown and they are making things worse by doubling down.

Blizzard and NBA are a sign of way worse things to come. In fact 'way worse' is happening here in HK right now. An airline company had fired a bunch of people for sharing pro-HK posts on Facebook - they didn't voice their opinions in public, and they aren't public figures like Daryl Morey, yet the CCP went for them anyway, otherwise it's likely the company will be barred from entering Chinese airspace.

There was another person who lost his job becausee talked shit about China on Whatsapp. Apparently one of his colleagues reported this private conversation to the higher-ups. Granted it was a Chinese-owned company but this is literally a White Terror, to make everyone too afraid to speak up by threatening our livelihoods.

For the record I don't think anything of this scale is going to happen in the US in the near future, but this kind of disgusting self-censorship is going to be more and more prevalent as China increases its control over American businesses, and we have to take a stand before it gets worse. I don't know exactly how, though it doesn't hurt to put pressure on Blizzard and keep up the outrage.
