Because you just now framed it as me framing it as one? I'm just pointing out that the right to criticize is A) sometying they have in China and B) Not actually a useful tool for making change on it's own. We can complain all we want here about how our kids are hungry, but start actually feeding them, start taking real action and improving the lives of the impoverished, and the feds will straight up kill you like they did Hampton. In America, our "right to free speech" is a consolation prize for living in a giant human blender, and we are raised to think that the right to complain ineffectually about the blender is just as good as not living in one.
