Okay, cool, youre defending the violence of the current regime. Gotcha.

Nope. I’m saying that the original claim - that the US is the most authoritarian government in the world - is incredibly ridiculous.

Also the US is literally why singapore is like that, crack open a history book.

I don’t have an in depth history of every law of every country. That said, I did some searching and I found no real connections besides the underlying law being passed at the same time Nixon started the War on Drugs. But even if the US’s War on Drugs inspired Singapore’s laws, to blame that on the US denies agency to the government and people of Singapore.

Highest prison population by capita and total, segregated, with 1000s of police killings a year.

Props up most of the worlds dictatorships

I said crack open a history book, not aimlessly speculate
