Yeah, no. None of us making that argument (except, you guessed it… conservatives) aren’t comparing ourselves to Europe. Obviously they win. We should be implementing the brilliant socialist policies of especially northern Europe.
Meanwhile I could be in Beijing teleporting around in my BYD hoping the transporter trace doesn’t pattern-recognize the pooh bear meme I just made. Unless, of course, I want to make my family disappear.
Oops I used the B-word and the PB-words and summoned the repress-o-bots and local stochastic parrots. We’re not there yet and we haven’t been for the past 10 years. So why has anyone who actually cares been cheering on our downfall like it’s a forgone conclusion? Accelerationist scum.

Sorry boss I don’t think Americans can really throw any shade on China for authoritarian overreach anymore.
Your guy just fired the people looking after postal vote rolls. I wonder how many of those families might get disappeared, memes or not.
He just launched his own personal brand of gas stations selling fuel he stole or extorted from whomever he’s picked on recently.
Do people in the US really get disappeared?
Where have you been for the last year? Trump is absolutely going to use ICE to discourage people on the postal voter list from voting.
I’m been in my country I guess? I’m just surprised if ICE is used against those officials
You might have misunderstood my comment.
Trump has fired the officials who were looking after the list of postal voters. They will appoint replacements who will hand over the list.
They will use ICE to intimidate people on the list into not voting.
Yes. All the time. That’s what ICE does.
Are ICE used against officials like that too?
Disappearing officials who use their positions to get rich would actually be pretty cool. Maybe we could disappear billionaires who get political too.
Yes.

I’m not cheering on your downfall, I’m challenging you to engage in some introspection rather than whataboutism.
What a bullshit lie. There is no debate or discussion happening online. You’re here to fight, inflame, and enrage.
Please don’t breed
Sorry mate did you reply to the wrong comment? Not making much sense there.
You Europeans aren’t very far behind with the amount of population surveillance you are adding to. What surveillance bill just got passed this week?
I don’t think any of us can be throwing rocks around about freedom anymore.
Actually im in Australia but I acknowledge we are also heavily surveilled.
However, we do have free elections, we embrace, we respect bodily autonomy, and we don’t have a tinpot dictator.
Until you don’t. And surveillance is often a first step.
My original comment was, American’s don’t have much credibility when calling others authoritarian shit holes.
That applies just as well to your comment as the original commenter I responded to.
Consider it a warning that is probably too late.
