      Ahh yeah, because people in China aren’t free, they’re all slaves. Same with Russia. And all of the Middle East.

      Westerners just have for the lowest wages their companies will pay them because if they don’t they’ll become destitute. Certainly not coercive.

      Hey yo, isn’t there a little exception in our “abolishing of slavery”? I wonder why we have such a large percentage of prisoners here in America, compared to the rest of the world.

      Ever heard of prisoner leasing?

      Free world my ass.

        Go ahead, visit China and talk to anyone you see about how much you don’t like Xi Jinping, maybe even compare him with Winnie the Pooh. Especially helpful if you do that to government officials.

        Then, if you still can, visit Russia and go around telling people you are gay and that the war has to stop.

        But, yeah, the US is also slowly working it’s way out of the list of free democratic countries, no question about that, I am lucky to live in Europe for that reason.

        There’s stops between free and enslaved. Seeing as we’re talking about not including the US, I think I’ll stand by it being freer.
