      we have free speech, don't be so gullible. you think Chinese citizens can go out in the streets and say anything they want. pathetically ignorant.

        We're not China no, but where's Snowden right now? Free speech doesn't make the government not authoritarian. It's not binary either.

          That's true, it's a spectrum. And the US has wayyy more free speech than even Great Britain. I'm a fan of Snowden, but suggesting that we're living in an authoritarian state because he's in exile is a stretch, IMO.

            It's a spectrum, we've got it better than others but still ruled by an oligarchy that thrashes our rights including speech
