The longer I live, the more I feel like the US government is no different than China. The only difference is if you're really rich you can get out of state scrutiny in the US. The simple fact that we have government agencies that actively and openly wish to spy on us is a joke and a slap in the face to the constitution entirely. There isn't a single right I have and everyone knows it that I can only enforce in court. What's the point in having rights at all if at any moment in time I can be tried for whatever the hell the state wants to charge me with. Like CP for example. The fact that we can't freely express ourselves leads to stronger conservativism among people here because you have to in order to ensure the state doesn't pursue these actions.
