Not that I give a shit, but I can see you potentially catching some flack for listing the USA as an "authoritarian regime" lmfao
Lets be honest, its not much different from China. They both make social media companies censor, and they both track citizens to predict their likliness of committing a crime in the future.
Where's the lie?
They hate him, because he told the truth.
I wouldn't say worse than China, but I'd say they're both equal, in their own way.
It's the nature of state politics and security. I'd bet even money every government on the planet is equally bad, up to the resources they have at their disposal.
Remember, all governments are collections of individuals, and individuals range in their morality.
Certain types are attracted to certain opportunities...like the power of government.
Maybe Undemocratic ia better?
