Rooftops are generally a good place to speek freely, even in an oppressive country.
Try speaking about US atrocities at work. If you lose your job, you're not free.
I used to work for the US government and we all talked shit about it at work. So your making shit up
Working at the dmv and talking about how incompetent bureaucracy are isn't the kind of talking we're talking about
Go work for a railroad and try to organize a general strike and tell me how safe you feel
I don’t feel like I’d be arrested or put to death if that’s what your asking?

people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as "actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn't have done it!" without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn't do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father's dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day
never try idealism kids, it turns you into this
No, people get arrested for breaking other laws while they strike, big difference
This comment was made after you were given a list of examples of such laws that included saying the word "scab" so there's really no excuse for your obstinance on this point specifically

No, they’ll just let some freikorps freak run you over with impunity.
Just kidding, you’re too much of a bootlicker to ever go out and actually protest for the rights and life of others. Just having the hypothetical “right” is freedom enough.
