>Unlike the current American administration who condones raids on homes without warrants and justifies violence with lies, this France raid follows something called rule of law.

Iffy on that front, actually. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrest_and_indictment_of_Pavel...

There was a warrant. He was arrested and prosecuted, is being investigated, and will be judged in a court of law. This is rule of law.

There was legal warrant and the wikipedia does not mention any lies or rules being being broken. There is nothing "Iffy" on that front.

And, to spell it out, it is also funny to see who was complaining about it back then. On the free speech grounds, not less, literally people trying to dismantle democracy and create autocracy. Russian soldiers and operators, Maria Butina, Medvedev and Elon Musk. Bad faith actors having bad faith arguments.
