In China, why are there literary persecutions? Because what the rulers truly fear is never the words themselves, but the ideas behind them. Once ideas cannot be unified, guided, or controlled, the legitimacy of power begins to weaken. So why are they so afraid of various voices on the internet? Because the internet has, for the first time, broken the monopoly of information held by a few. It allows ordinary people to access a large amount of information, different narratives, and conflicting viewpoints at minimal cost. When "the only correct voice" is no longer unique, authority becomes unstable. More importantly, the internet hasn't made everyone smarter, but it has greatly expanded everyone's horizons. It raises the lower limit of cognition, blurs the information gap between classes, and places lifestyles that were never meant to be compared on the same screen. Once seen, it’s impossible to pretend not to see. Once comparisons begin, desires are ignited. When desires are ignited, people start asking, "Why should it be like this?" Literary persecutions, censorship of public opinion, and fear of voices are essentially attempts to prevent this chain reaction from occurring. They are not afraid of expression, but of awakening; not of noise, but of the disintegration of consensus.
