schmidtbag Keep on granting more power to the government, then your "1st world" country will be the next oppressive state when you wake up one day. Or granting power to corporations blindly, then your "1st world" country will become just a puppet one day and corporation cartels will be the true dictators ruling over the world.
I used Taliban as my initial example because even the stubbornest tankies won't support their policy in open (at the moment in 2023). So we can establish a common ground that at least some oppressive governments exist. For technical capacity, Russia and China are better examples. Especially for Chinese government which wholeheartedly endorses big-brother-is-watching-you policy and is actively implementing it. But I didn't want to muddle into endless political debate so I refrained from using them as examples at first. The chance of someone arguing they are "good big brother" is there and this would be tiring.
By the same principle, I don't write offtopic local political issue in Hong Kong in this forum. Hongkongers so far are suffering less than Uyghurs. And competition for who are being oppressed most by the government is NOT FUN. Your show off of your "privilege" is disgusting.
