Us has largest prison population in the world?
Capitalist regimes targets people differently but the function of the oppression is the same.
Yeah oppression is universal to some extent. But thereās a big difference between a government that says āeveryone is equal before the lawā but which sometimes breaks those rules and a country that says āthe law is what we say it isā
Which one functions better as a whole, given our current social problems, I donāt know. But from a personal point of view Iām very happy to live and have grown up somewhere relatively free.

Everyone says this until their targetedā¦
This is essentially the logic first they came for the communistsā¦ I was not a communistā¦
The modern regime know not to push it too far, generally thatās just bad business but they always need some marginalized group to oppress for the performative purposes to remind the plebs who got the monopoly on violence. And gen pop accepts it as āohh well, they do it to black people etc, at least it wonāt me, carry oneā
At the core us and Chinese pedons behave the same with the same excuses for why their daddy is good, other daddy is bad.
If you oversimplify to the degree that āall governments use oppressive tactics some timesā then yeah youāre right. Obviously. But how many communists is the US holding in reeducation camps at the moment? How many cartoon characters are banned because they look like the president?
And again I understand our current trajectory doesnāt look great, I understand our governments can also use oppressive tactics at times. But to say CCP and the US government are identical is just blatantly disingenuous.
