Only other nations use propaganda...didn't you know?
That is a profoundly racist outlook. It's exactly the expression of a racist point of view.
No, it isn't. It is an objective observation.
A long serving totalitarian regime, known for suppression of dissent, would invariably condition generations of its populace to avoid confronting the status quo.
That is why Tiananmen Square was so impressive. And a massacre.
From the far reaches of Mao's introverted China to the warring nations of the West, and yonder into the African continent, the propensity towards a warring culture is synonymous with humankind.
It seems like we are at our industrious best when working in concert during a time of great conflict.
Sadly, times of contentment and peace are seemingly less productive. Do we require strife to excel?
Chinese tend to be very compliant people. When asked about censorship issues, most Chinese will say they appreciate their government insulating them from sensitive information as it makes them feel more comfortable.

One would imagine a good bit of the genetic predisposition towards questioning authority has been bred right out of the populace.
Exceptions are made for the exceptional. It is not a right or wrong moral conundrum so much as it is the way the World works.
you are morally bankrupt.

Sure, there's an occasional supply & demand imbalance, but that's precisely the point.
If every slight, real and imagined, continues to create great umbrage... well, this power held by the electronic mob will prove fleeting as folks tire of the wolf-cry of injustice.

The World is not black and white. If a Nazi child molester with leprosy showed up at your door with a cure for the cancer your spouse was dying from... you sir, would likely make a deal with that devil.
I don't see the positive "peace" value in replacing unpleasant authoritarian regimes with totalitarian Islamist theocracies, which is where most of the so-called "Arab Spring" uprisings have ended up.

Dell is reportedly in talks to buy all or part of enterprise storage powerhouse EMC, which would mark a bold and unexpected new chapter in the PC maker's history.

An inflation rate of nearly Venezuelan proportions.
