    Shouldn’t happen. The moment you want to “protect” your people, you’ve become authoritarian. If you can’t trust your people to reject russia propaganda, how can you trust them to elect their own leaders?

      And if everyone had common sense an anarchist society would be possible. We have laws, that are inherently authoritarian, to make society work because society is too stupid to function without. To quote men in black “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it”.

      In that sense I don’t see an issue with protecting your impressionable morons from deliberate foreign state propaganda.

        Ah yes, the unenlightened peasants cannot be trusted to form their own opinions. In fact, why let them vote at all?
