Which ones are truly authoritarian?
- metabagel 2y agoRussia and China both have authoritarian governments. https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the-map?type=fiw&year=2024 https://freedomhouse.org/explore-the-map?type=fiw&year=2024
- kelipso 2y agoThat’s just a bunch of statements made by people in the US.. Maybe you should ask the Chinese and Russians for a list and compare lol.
- garciasn 2y agoI appreciate what you’re saying here, but it’s impossible to view the opinions of residents of an authoritarian state as unbiased and unaffected observers. They know they cannot possibly openly share their opinions without the potential for severe penalty. This is exactly why Putin did what he did to Alexei Navalny; it reminds the populace to keep the opinions to themselves or die in the most horrible way possible.
- rubytubido 2y ago> Putin did what he did to Alexei Navalny Using this logic we can say that Trump did what he did to Epstein?
- garciasn 2y agoYes. Absolutely.
- kelipso 2y agoThe Chinese and the Russians could say the exact same thing about you and be just as convincing.
- garciasn 2y agoTrump and Biden are fucking useless and shouldn’t be in office. I think they both should be banned from the office of the president. While we’re at it: George W. Bush is a war criminal and should be tried at The Hague. Obama was the best Republican president we’ve ever had. See? No.
- kelipso 2y agoWhat are you, waiting for a Chinese person to come here and post things about Xi? All you are practically doing is clowning around with those statements. Try doing what Assange did and see where that gets you lol.
- Beldin 2y agoAnd you don't think that what happened to some folks that said/did stuff that displeased the US and UK rulers might have a similar effect on their population? Like, for example, what happened to Julian Assange?
- orhmeh09 2y agoI think the country that imprisons the highest proportion of its own population in the world ought to qualify, but this list doesn't think so. Interesting.
- randomopining 2y agoSo if a country has laws written by democratically elected bodies - and people break those laws, they shouldn't be imprisoned if the law calls for it?

- root_axis 2y agoIs it possible that they just commit more crimes?
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoClearly it's not enough of a deterrent and we need harsher punishments, like prison camps in Alaska with a threatening name like "gulag".
