In other countries, there is a lot of unexpected “suicides”, and people simply cease to exist, but in CN they usually disappear for some time and when they “reappear” again, are not interfering, commenting or criticizing anymore in any way… What actually happens in that “transition” period?
I’m genuinely curious, please provide some sources if there are some, or if this was answered somewhere else already.
I imagine it’s like if you were convicted and thrown in jail, and they offer parole under the condition you keep your head down and mouth shut.
Most people would rather lead a quiet life than become a political martyr.
