Whenever I hear about how horrible Russia and China are due to their governments arresting political dissidents for their speech, I just realize how ignorant many Americans are. Sure, the US government will not directly arrest you for your speech, but they will engage in every form of lawfare possible and coerce "private companies" into acting on their behalf, and in the end arrest you for something else they think they can charge you with.
That totally makes us a free country, right?
@houseoftolstoy My question at this point is the potential trade off worth to have to deal with further corruption to move somewhere else to be more quiet. They'll still shake you down, but at least your ethnicity isn't preyed/replaced on directly in perhaps Russia. Plus it is far less gay, but none the less not anymore "Free"
