- tene80i 4mo agoIf you think Britain and Russia or China are equivalent in terms of government overreach, you need to find new sources of information.

People from way more authoritarian countries don't necessarily feel like they are living in an authoritarian country. Therefore whether or not it "feels" like you are living in one isn't a reliable measure.
- tene80i 4mo agoTrivially true I suppose, but it doesn’t make my point irrelevant - do you think Britain is equivalent to China and Russia? If everyone does but us then yes my goodness they’ve done a good job controlling us, but that seems far fetched.
