Okay this debate has been way too tiring for me. I am not going to explain to another rich western kid why you are more fortunate than my friend who have been separated from her activist dad for decades.
If you don’t believe western privilege is real and you are as oppressed as the numerous dictatorships across the world…
Good for you I guess, and I will not entertain this topic further.
As for ways to learn, I prefer to learn through peer-reviewed literature; high-effort investigative journalism; and people who have worked decades in the field, and specifically hired to research and teach.
At no point did I discuss political prisoners (who exist in my Western European country too, believe it or not). I discussed the reliability of mass media, the level of state propaganda, manufactured consent and fabricated news. Some person you know being in prison has nothing to do with that, don’t immediately go and play the victim card, we’ were discussing western media here. You’re just shutting your ears and saying “the existence of authority abuse elsewhere means you have no right to mention the western bias in western media”.
