In other words, it may be worthwhile to prove poster wrong with facts.
Only sometimes. Implying that the American lockdown is the same as the Chinese one is obviously untrue.
If I call you ridiculous for thinking that Sweden is just as oppressive as North Korea you wouldn't say "well that's a matter of opinion" would you?(assuming you're not an idiot)
The issue gets muddled, however because the word lockdown is discussed without any nuance attached to it. In US, it was challenged in courts and people ( clearly ) mostly did what they wanted to do ( that said, some businesses got fined heavily ) despite heavy media shaming, whereas in China lockdowns included stories ( among others ) of sealing off entire buildings without allowing their denizens for any way out. Despite the same word, those two approaches are very different in application ( edit: and results ).
Wasn't what was said in my comment. It was about protests of the lockdowns and the govt/media response to said protests
