gollark: Doesn't that demonstrate that being more authoritarian and not having democracy does NOT automatically make a place good, if you don't like Singapore?

gollark: Well, I don't know much about it and don't care very much.
gollark: Amazingly enough, people sometimes don't like being subjected to authoritarian regimes?
gollark: No, it's just China being authoritarian and people don't like it
