Over at Techdirt, Glyn Moody writes about Vietnam's Internet monitoring unit called "Force 47". The unit is a large team, around 10,000 in number, tasked with combating prohibited viewpoints, inconvenient facts, and anything against policy through monitoring, complaints, and astroturfing.
Facebook this year removed 159 accounts at Vietnam's behest, while YouTube took down 4,500 videos, or 90 percent of what the government requested, according to VietnamNet news, which cited Minister of Information and Communications Truong Minh Tuan last week. The National Assembly is debating a cybersecurity bill that would require technology companies to store certain data on servers in the country.

The problem is, douchebag, you're pointing at everyone who isn't liberal, and classifying them all as shite supremacits. Take a family of black people living in a slum somewhere - if they don't agree with your bullshit progressivism, they're racist-assed shite supremacists. A gay who isn't progressive enough for you is also a shite supremacist. Know what? You are the shite - you look just like those goose-stepping Nazi assholes, trying to tell everyone how to think, what to do, how to talk.

Nah that's just your insanity peaking through. You paint a broad picture with "liberals" stomping down on wrong think, however I remember the ever-present trend of conservatives LITERALLY stomping down on a wide range of human behavior.
Your whining may have a little truth to it, but mostly you reek of dethroned privilege. The reverse Godwinning is cute if a little desperate.
