Globalization is a misnomer. There are no universal values. The west is trying to push its value system on others, through means fair or foul. It's the new colonialism. And other cultures "feel threatened" by these "perceived existential threats". How dare they resist our benevolence?

Is there anyone, anywhere, who doesn't want to be able to say what they want, without fear?

What there are, though, are lots of people who don't want other people to be able to speak freely.

Again, you're speaking for yourself. Many people care nothing for self-expression. But it's interesting to note how easily you universalize your personal preferences.
