Isn't ironic that a nation that was infamous for rounding up people for dissent IS STILL rounding up people for dissent?

So, can we effectively argue that things still haven't changed?

It's a reminder and a warning.... a country can remain a democracy in format but not protect basics freedoms.. we don't want to go in that direction.

Nope, nothing has changed at all, the pendulum has just swung all the way to the left.

Of course we can; nothing at all has changed. There are still millions of people in extermination camps; millions more in concentration camps; and millions more than that in labor camps. All political dissent is still crushed like a gnat beneath a jackboot. All civil liberties are still thoroughly and ruthlessly suppressed. And of course the entire nation is still mobilized for a genocidal war of annihilation against all its neighbors.

Yeah, but they might put you in jail for it.
