Every day we get closer to an Orwellian society. The United Kingdom may already be one.

        I don’t see anyone in US LARPing freedom bullshit since at least covid lol

        Well besides regime whores on tv… But that’s a different story

        But in us unlike china or russia, shit posters don’t get charges or at least not nearly as much for saying stupid shit online. People in russia peope get prison for being anti war.

            It can happen in the US too… My comment above touches on this fact.

            In china and russia people get disappeared in regular course of business.

              My comment likewise touches on the fact that people living under western regimes are disappeared in regular course of business. In fact, there’s far more evidence for people disappearing without any reasonable grounds in the west than there are in China.

          The distinction with China is in actual human rights like people being able to afford housing, food, and education. People not having to worry about losing their job and ending up on the street or being able to retire in dignity.
