Ok, well that is something. I think that's good that you recognize the freedom for the average working class person in China to live as healthy of a life as possible without concern for how much money they have or without concern for becoming homeless (like people constantly do in the US). But that you think that is less free than the US, which is "unmistakably freer" because in China there's a possibility you could get reprimanded for criticizing the state... well I think that speaks to some really fucked up priorities. But ok.

Well, let's just say it wouldn't have surprised me. But I wasn't expecting you to just readily concede that the US's "level of freedom" is no better than that of China. Especially right after you just used that as a reason why China was "bad," specifically when compared to the US. But if you really are able to see that now, congrats, for real.

You said:

It’s about the levels of freedoms.

I explain via personal example why the level of freedom is better in China and your response is "yes, the US is also shit." Well done indeed.

Can you follow conversations irl, or are you just like this right now because it's hard for you to have your prejudices shown to be full of shit?

Oh, like the freedom the US provides for me to die homeless in a ditch because I can't afford my cancer treatments? Rah rah USA!
