gollark: ... did I say it was?
gollark: Even if it actually *is* true that living in an authoritarian regime is similar to living in... well, I guess the comparison is just a "relatively standard reasonably free Western country" or something... for the average non-politically-active person (which is probably the case for *some* authoritarian regimes), that doesn't really make authoritarian regimes okay.
gollark: I mean, authoritarian regimes... aren't very good, I think, even if they can *sometimes* produce good outcomes.
gollark: IIRC China *did* silence people warning about it back in 2019, though.
gollark: Just subtract one from all years. I don't think that could go wrong at all.
