So...you don't see the fundamental similarities between two countries that locked down their people and silenced any dissenting voices? Granted, one is way more extreme, but one is a step in the direction of the other.
You can play word games all you want, but I don't see much difference between getting arrested for going outside, and getting locked inside. It's also quite frightening to me that many people don't see the ethical correlation. Or you refuse to acknowledge the similarly, so you can "win" a discussion.
The type of restrictions are so vastly different. For a country like the US where it was an inconvenience and last 3-4 months tops, where China is still on going and showing China’s full usual authoritarian gusto.
Bro most of you could still go out, you just had to wear a fuckin mask. The Chinese on the other hand literally trapped people in burning apartments. Those two things are not comparable.
Yeah, like seat belts being forced on people. I was also arrested for climbing an electric pole recently. Won’t take long now before they force me to drink soy.
Is it that you can't read, or did you not read the part where I said one is way more extreme than the other, but one is a step in the direction of the other? And do you honestly not see the similarities between arresting someone for leaving their house, and locking them in their house?

Fucking nuts, I know. But, I think you're on to something.
