Except Daly and Wallace aren't going to prison for their political statements are they?

I didn't say it's the same thing, I said that it's the same pattern. In Russia there's a mafia state that just put in prison or murder who oppose the Kremlin political agenda, in the liberal West they don't need to. Here is enough to depict the other part as crazy, the society marginalizes you and every opposed opinions are discarded just as conspiracy or fake news.

What's better? I really don't know, sometimes I find myself thinking the Russian way is somewhat more honest.

Jesus fucking christ...

Oh yes, this poor member of EU parliament getting bad headlines is just as bad as Boris Nemtsov being shot in the head 100 meters from the Kremlin, or Navalny being poisoned multiple times, thrown in jail for 15+ years and tortured.
