> but [the USA] is bound by the rule of law

Of course it is! and storks deliver babies and the moon is yellow because it's made of cheese.

> [The USA] isn't actively imprisoning millions in concentration camps

It's actively imprisoning millions in prisons. What's the difference between a prison and a concentration camp? Perhaps the guards twirling their evil mustache more?

You are able to write your comment criticizing the US government (Congress) because we follow the rule of law and that rule of law includes the 1st Amendment guarantee to freedom of speech and expression.

China has no such protections and guarantees.

yeah ask how people who backed trump fared once he lost? ban from social circles, political oponents “tracking” the people who worked with him or under him so that “they never have jobs anymore”. its just one example. just like china, if you are on the bad side you don’t exist anymore. see assange.

None of this has anything to do with the government of the US but nice try.

it was literaly elected people that did the witch hunt. we just saw one again with trying to jail trump based on lies.

There is a stark difference between a sovereign power gagging or stifling perceived dissidents and other citizens (whether they are elected officials or not) deciding you're an unethical asshole others should be warned about.

What happened to Nixon? What happened to OJ Simpson from the victim's family?
