> I'd like some source material on your claim about freedoms

Let's start at the bottom then:

>> The other countries you speak about have already lost their rights, or never had them to begin with.

>and New Zealand is a tiny island, very easy to control

What you're saying here is basically: "even if you back it up with source material, I'm going to claim the US is more diverse/different so it doesn't really apply."

In other words, it's US exceptionalism both ways around, that is, circular reasoning. Why should anyone bother to try and have a good faith argument here?

I've assumed good intent with my reply and included size examples of Australia and Canada referring to my linked paper, so I suppose we will find out.
