The surest way to control people is to make sure they cannot communicate with one another. Make them depend on you for everything. Right?

I believe some countries do not allow the people to access the internet.  So no Twitter either then. News is spoon-fed over the government network. No phones?  Confiscate all books from which the people could get dangerous ideas.  Close movie theaters. No plays/little theater. Radio is allowed with all programming emanating from government sources. Mostly propaganda that is government-friendly but some music is allowed as long as it doesn't fire people up, excite them, energize them. No knowledge of what is going on in the world. No need. Nationalism has its value and isolation is one of them. The national slogan will be "Ignorance is  bliss".

  • Makes me think about all the Chinese citizens over riding the Golden Shield firewall just so they can troll an Australian swimmer who beat their hero and called him out for doping after doing it.  The biggest breach by the citizens  of info suppression wasn't to find info or expose the  government, it was to defend Chinese hyper-nationalism.

    That's one way for sure, however they have a door that leads to all parts of the world.
    If they don't like it they should leave.
