I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.
Not nearly on the same level as what China does.
Or as pervasive.
It should be noted we’re actually free to talk about that in a way that you’d never be in China.
Is the US authoritarian? Absolutely. But compared to China or North Korea, it’s almost nothing.
