“Lol” is always such a strong argument. Really shows that your point is to be taken seriously.

What are you talking about?

If you think that the rule of law in dictatorships is really no worse than that of a democratic country (even one that’s currently in bad shape) I think you’re delusional honestly.

Again, what are to talking about? China is a democratic country.

we don’t have gulags where we send political opponents to disappear.

Neither does China, though the USA does have several times more people incarcerated, including in concentration camps and torture black sites.

We don’t have government edicts telling our journalists what they are allowed to talk about.

You absolutely do. Not to mention edicts from the private entities that own both your government and your media.
