  • Can you please tell me how many politicians are imprisoned for their dissent in western democratic countries?

    Which politicians are imprisoned for their dissent in Russia? It’s funny you mention dissent cause the US has no trouble trying to quell dissent when it comes to Israel or its own war crimes and actions overseas.

    Your long tirade about Russia not being exactly how you think it should be is what’s pretty funny honestly, considering in the US, elections never decided by popular vote, laws are passed without our consent via Congress and the Supreme Court, and there are no ways for people to put forward successful changes via voting.

    There is no political freedom, no freedom of speech, no choice, no chance to protest. Say something wrong and go to jail. It’s not an exaggeration, there was at least 3.5k prosecutions for social media posts or sometimes even for likes. The situation with freedom got much worse in last couple of years since the war with Ukraine began.

    I’m sitting here trying to figure out where you’ve been in the last few months where the US had thousands of students arrested for protesting genocide, or how the government is trying to outright ban TikTok for more propaganda reasons that have all been disproven.

    Why do you believe Western propaganda? Is it because it’s comfortable? Is it because it makes you feel more comfortable about living in a “democracy”? Also better yet do you think the conflict in Ukraine just started in 2022? Cause that would explain everything.
