Yeah oppression is universal to some extent. But there's a big difference between a government that says "everyone is equal before the law" but which sometimes breaks those rules and a country that says "the law is what we say it is"
Which one functions better as a whole, given our current social problems, I don't know. But from a personal point of view I'm very happy to live and have grown up somewhere relatively free.

Everyone says this until their targeted...
This is essentially the logic first they came for the communists... I was not a communist...
The modern regime know not to push it too far, generally that's just bad business but they always need some marginalized group to oppress for the performative purposes to remind the plebs who got the monopoly on violence. And gen pop accepts it as "ohh well, they do it to black people etc, at least it won't me, carry one"
At the core us and Chinese pedons behave the same with the same excuses for why their daddy is good, other daddy is bad.
If you oversimplify to the degree that "all governments use oppressive tactics some times" then yeah you're right. Obviously. But how many communists is the US holding in reeducation camps at the moment? How many cartoon characters are banned because they look like the president?
And again I understand our current trajectory doesn't look great, I understand our governments can also use oppressive tactics at times. But to say CCP and the US government are identical is just blatantly disingenuous.

Nobody said that.
But to pretend that chinaman government is some how "worse" because us government doesn't target you is naive
Jesus Christ "Chinaman"? I think you need to lay off the coffee a bit friend.
But yeah oppressive, proudly dictatorial governments are worse than ours, at least if you value free citizenship, democracy and rule of law, flawed as it may be.

well that's a cope...
I wonder how people who get subjected to bankruptcy due to medical bills feel lol
I'm fairly sure I wasn't defending corporate abuse of power. But hey if it makes you feel better to kick a strawman, be my guest.
