@sun Unfortunately I think the days of first world countries allowing a certain level of liberty among its populace are over.

@mrsaturday also just like two big benefits outside the sphere of communism is "the right to be wrong" and the possibility of nonviolent dissent and correction

@sun Our governments let us be wrong as a safety valve and tolerate it as long as we stick to fecklessly complaining, and if the nonviolent dissent lacks elite sponsorship and lasts for longer than a couple Saturdays, cell phone location logs start getting subpoenaed. We're domesticated to the point that those liberties cause more harm than good. They're illusions, just boiling the frog slow enough to keep it from jumping out.
