It’s very interesting watching people try to explain how bad it is for the Chinese government to have your information without referencing other places that have your information and the bad things those places are doing without being stopped or even gently chided.

Is a poem still a poem when you read it out loud?
So a book is still a book, then, when you read it aloud?
#Audiobooks and physical/e-books all tell the same stories, in the same way, with the same pacing and structure, with the same themes. It’s all still reading. #booksky

If you really want to encounter a lot of views different from your own, go read some books. You don’t need right wing assholes screaming at you on social media for that. This can just be a place where you chill.
