> This is a thing in most countries on the planet. Also totalitarian governments have happened everywhere around the world, except in the USA. I've lived abroad in places where it seems the citizens are property of the government. It really feels the government can at anytime do whatever they please with anyone, and it won't even be questioned. Government dissent is a privilege that apparently only USA has at the moment (and we're in a cultural battle trying to preserve it).
