Was the Boston tea party autocratic and the George III saving freedom? Are the protesters in Venezuela autocratic? How about Gandhi's people vs the Raj? There is a fundamental difference between admittedly sloppy mass action and the autocrats with their armed forces that crush them. But the leader of the most powerful nation on earth just declared a national emergency for no reason. The same guy calls the press "the enemy of the people". Are we really supposed to believe that a handful of university disruptions and twitter storms and against his supporters are the real threats to freedom?
