Do you really think that the US has oppressed its population less than comparably well established European democracies? Given its history of slavery, Jim Crow and mass incarceration? Given the militarisation if its police, the war in drugs and it's all-watching surveillance state? Given McCarthyism and the Patriot Act? And you're citing COVID?

I am frankly astonished by your claim. It's so obviously wrong.
