yeah I'm gonna say that the United States is not currently as authoritarian as China.

And ours is that it IS already this bad. And it’s capitalist Liberalism that has gotten us here, now, where we are.
You are doing the “idealizing a place where it is that bad” yourself, right now, when you imagine an America not that bad.

Like, are very bad things happening?
Absolutely yes.
Do most Americans feel too afraid to speak out on a daily basis?
Absolutely not.
I dunno which is chillingly authoritarian, hard to say, could be either, better get Tim Snyder on the horn…
Because I’ve been to factories like that in China. And according to their very, very drunk employees, this was “one of the good ones”

But also, goddamn, you people are fucking illiterate. Where did I or anyone say we have to let it get worse? "So you hate Waffles??"-ass post.
It's not like Cuba, where guerillas basically had to queue up for a timeshare slot in the SIerra Maestra.

I AM doing work EVERY DAY to counteract this shit as much as I can, what have YOU done today other than pretend the problems aren’t here and aren’t necessary to respond to maximally as possible??
like I’m not gonna kill myself, is that your point is that I should kill myself for thinking the USA is a totalitarian freakstate??
And goddamn, you say “we have to let it get worse” when you pretend like we aren’t at me like this—when you specifically flag it has to be “quotidian” before it’s a problem worth the hype to you!
see what I mean about illiteracy? "one thing is worse than another" doesn't mean both aren't problems
Wake the fuck up liberal!
When the father that was wrongly—they admit wrongly—abducted to fucking El Salvador, and isn’t returned?
Oh it has to be “quotidian”. I see—we have to let it happen MORE before stopping it or being critical.
We’re at the bottom.
If every day is a new unique rock bottom, we aren’t “getting” worse—we are already at the bottom, in the worst case scenario.
We’re not fighting to avoid that gap closing—we’re fighting to claw it back open.
You just said “erm, lol” like that’s some dunk you fucking idiot!
Guess what—The USA IS 100% as authoritarian and totalitarian as the evil terrible communist CCP China, right now, in real life
