> my western liberal prejudice against Singapore
What is there to be prejudiced against for Singapore? It is a singularly good place to live by basically every metric an actual human being could care about. Low crime, clean, high resident satisfaction, good schools, etc.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agohmm, well there we can see I was wrong, I just went to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index I was sure Singapore was registered as a Hybrid regime but I can see it is listed as a flawed democracy, if that's correct and I guess I'll assume it is as I'm not planning to move there anyway then there isn't a reason to hold anything against them, given that very few countries are better than flawed Democracy. on edit: still criminal system seems overly harsh.
