Dude, you are very foolishly comparing the life we have now with living under Russia/China.
Are you like a hundred years old?
I have an advantage that you never had, being in a truly free nation with a Constitution that states & protects those rights. I see those rights disappearing, just as I see the Constitution being ignored in many ways. I also see the tyranny creeping not only into this nation, but into the other formerly free nations across the globe. I see tyrannical taking over there as well since the Covid plandemic was unleashed along with the tyranny.
If you can't see that, that's on you brother. Especially since I am telling you that is what is happening. You don't have to take my word, just look at what is going on & has been going on since Covid. Do you see a return to normal? Isn't it rather interesting that invasions of all the western nations, all kind of happened in a rather synchronized fashion, and that all countries were made less desirable to live in?
