The last section: the ruling class and the media they control must sometimes give in to the public. The people will notice when the media tries too hard to keep pushing the viewpoint of the ruling class, so every now and then, they have to give in to maintain the pretense of "the free press" and "democracy." This is how they keep people complacent. This book was so good.

A lot to say but basically, I pretty much understand why people are wishing for America's less-than-positive fate... "Chairman Xi, liberate us in the West" or whatever it is that the Twitter post said, LOL.
