Funny that when the wrong country does it it's tyranny. When a Western country does it it's the rule of law.
Especially when they are the exact same thing.
- the_duke 2y agoDo you have any concrete examples where this would apply? (person getting arrested in China over an offered service) If not, this is just whataboutism. I can't think of any, to be honest.
- entropyneur 2y agoThere's nothing funny or wrong about this argument. In a democracy, law is a community consensus. In a tyranny it's just a rule set up by the tyrant for everyone to follow (but never followed by the tyrant himself and his gunmen). That said, even in democracy a law can be bad, and likely is in this case.
