When they say “suppressing dissent,” this means someone is dying in prison. A man or woman who is unsatisfied with only a little bit of freedom must then have no freedom at all. Remember Liu Xiaobo. Remember Liu Xia. It is still possible to dream a different future for humanity. Nightly, many do.
“I was in prison, and ye came unto me.”
