I, on the other hand, think that predatory cults should absolutely be evicted by their said government. And it's adorable you think that jan 6 was some real threat to power in US. That stunt will simply be used to justify further slide into fascism and Americans will happily cheer it on too.

So are you arguing police state is good? What are we debating at in the first point then if we think police state is bad with cameras helping cops?

No, I'm arguing that the west is just as much of a police state as China is in every way that matters. However, the difference is that China has a government that represents the majority while the west has governments that represent the oligarchs.
