Of course. Commoners have more in common with each other than the elites. But which system is better for the health of society etc? The autocratic corrupt spying apparatus gov? Or the falted, less efficient, but generally much much more open and representative gov of the US?

I thought you were referring to the US here until I finished reading the comment.

Lol. You must exist in a world of hyperbole. If you think the US gov is bad, wait until you see and experience a world of the CCP and Putin's FSB.

In a CCP world, probably within a decade, if you posted a critical comment on a messageboard - you would "disappear" in a week, and all mentions of you would be gone from the earth within a month. They don't tolerate resistance my friend.

replace “autocratic” with “unelected”/unaccountable and you get the NSA.

If you think the NSA is bad (lol), imagine once you find out about the FSB and the huge apparatus of the CCP.
