That's 2 words non US people usually don't think when they think US. Democracy is literally the last thing that would come to my mind right now.

Lol, you can shitpost anything about any politician in the USA. Hang any flag on your car, house etc. and you will be fine. Try the same in China.

You can shitpost but the algorithm will make sure it doesn't get read :)

Huh? Does that negate the missing democracy, the political distrust and the political censorship within your country?

I am happy for you and your flags.

However I didn't claim that china is more "free" just that the US definitely isn't seen as that from the outside anymore. It's not always a direct competition

As did Stalin, Mussolini, Hirohito and the National Socialist Party. It's the "how" that matters.

Exactly. What's the big idea to be strong and stable when you have no respect whatsoever for human lives? You can just kill the competition!

Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator is a piece of art that demonstrates this absurdity in the best possible way.

No, Mussolini openly despised democracy.

Please don't be teaching history without having spent even 5 minutes learning it :)

Perhaps you might spend 5 minutes reading the quoted comment again and note the absence of "democracy".
