    in democratic society, freedome can become the air we breath and people take it for granted only realise its value when it's taken away. That's why is so importsnt to support those freedom fighter out there. You articulsted this importsnt topic so well. Totally agree with the quote at the beginning of your video. May free speech and human rights prevail. Wihout it, and without exaggeration, will threathen the very existence of human race in the long run.

      Thank you for the kind words Yuyu!
      Really appreciate it!
      Yes, it definitely is kind of like the air that we breathe. It's super, super important and one of those things that we should not take for granted. I doubt that human society would come to an end just because we lack freedom of speech, but certainly it will be stunted in many meaningful ways to the point that it will never reach its highest form of progress; society is the result of many decisions taken together in the collective and no single person can possibly be the bearer of a standard that brings it forward!
      Thank you for dropping by again and for your wonderful perspective, and see you again in a bit!

    Democracy = Freedom.

      That's a very popular point of view, but I guess that extends mostly to sharing opinions and a little less towards making the choice of whom to support. Certainly the theatre in which freedom takes place is in the court of public opinion, where we can persuade, convince, and influence one another to believe things and it's our responsibility to decide what's right and what's wrong!
