I heard online that it's illegal to be against Christianity in America, as well as it being illegal to be against fascism, or 'anti fascist' in the USA as you'll be labelled a domestic terrorist. I heard in America that the cops won't kill you if you are a white person walking at night but not if you are a black teenager. I heard in America that the government will allow your father to shoot you until you die if you disagree with him politically but ask to see his gun. I heard in America you will be killed by the government for being ~~homeless~~ poor and there's nothing anyone will do about it.
But America is where freedom is. If you live in any conditions freer than that, you are actually in a less free country than America because actually America is actually freer than any other country actually.
I understand the parallel, but all you said can be confirmed or denied by several sources I have access to. I don't have alternative sources for most of the claims about China. Could you provide them? When I read about these things, it seemed trustworthy.
Also, I'm not even american, chill. I am not chinese either, I don't have a horse in this race. Both can burn in nuclear winter as far as I care
Does your government limit your access to any sources?
But also all of those things are true and verifiable. That's freedom in America baby—free to be rich and if you're not filthy rich and just middle class or above you're good as long as you're white and male. Not so free for many other people.
What I mean by "have access to" is that information about china is scarce unless you are reading in chinese and talking to chinese people. I will be visiting there later this year btw and have family that goes frequently for business, but that doesn't really show political reality
