Re: A failing experiment

@mevets. You ask, "At what point did "the west" become non oppressive?"

There has been no single point, it is a slow process over time and it is not yet over. Did the UK drive tanks over the protesters who pulled down slave-trader Colston's statue in Bristol? No, our police didn't even fire teargas. Have we been changing the law to tie Scottish or Northern Irish law closer to London? No, we have been loosening their ties. Did the EU send in the riot police to prevent Brexit? Do we have any equivalents to the Uighur concentration camps so graphically leaked to TV? Do Trump's attempts at dictatorship feel like Situation Normal or a wild anomaly compared to recent American presidents?

Sure, we still have a way to go, some of us further than others. But your pro-China bullshit is wholly belied by modern history. You are talking crap and you know it. The only question is, why?
