You just said that you know nothing about Russia or China. Is it not a shame to be so xenophobic without ever living there or knowing anything about their people? Is it not TOTALITARIAN to brainlessly repeat what your government is telling you about these countries whom the US State is craving to subjugate and plunder? Give me ONE example of Russia doing a similar thing the US government has been doing to people since 2020, with draconian censorship and using media to crush independent journalism. ONE example of an independent journalist crushed in Russia or a video that Russia has deleted from YouTube. Or a scientist that Russia managed to fire and ban from work for being unvaccinated or saying uncomfortable things about "public health". ONE example of Russia doing the same as the Anglosphere has done to Jay Bhattacharya or Mark Crispin Miller or Steven Salaita. ONE example that Russia nas done to someone what the US has done to Assange. ONE example that Russia cancelled Scott Fitzgerald or Kurt Vonnegut, the way the US and the EU cancelled Dostoevsky or Tchaikovsky. What are you actually talking about? What concrete facts made you come to this position? I am not talking to the "US in general". I am American. I am talking to a State loyalist, who is the ROOT of all problems we have here. OBEDIENCE is the problem. Whatever the State orders you to think, you say "yes, sir!" - and after that, you deny that the US is totalitarian. Surely, it is a "free country" for State loyalists!
