    If you oversimplify to the degree that “all governments use oppressive tactics some times” then yeah you’re right. Obviously. But how many communists is the US holding in reeducation camps at the moment? How many cartoon characters are banned because they look like the president?

    And again I understand our current trajectory doesn’t look great, I understand our governments can also use oppressive tactics at times. But to say CCP and the US government are identical is just blatantly disingenuous.

      Nobody said that.

      But to pretend that chinaman government is some how “worse” because us government doesn’t target you is naive

        Jesus Christ “Chinaman”? I think you need to lay off the coffee a bit friend.

        But yeah oppressive, proudly dictatorial governments are worse than ours, at least if you value free citizenship, democracy and rule of law, flawed as it may be.

            I’m fairly sure I wasn’t defending corporate abuse of power. But hey if it makes you feel better to kick a strawman, be my guest.
