> really no country on earth as the freedoms of speech and expression that America does

Of course, you wouldn't be _arrested_ in the US for saying certain things, but I'm afraid you could be lynched/fired/etc., so _technically_ the freedom of speech is still preserved – but from my point of view it doesn't matter much whether I'm assaulted by the police or an angry mob. (In fact, I would probably prefer the police.)

It is sort of ironic, in a morbid and very sad way. When I was a kid, we looked at America as the "land of freedom", unattainable for us in a communist country. Now I'm much older and I witness the US slowly (or maybe even not that slowly) gravitating towards communism.

I wouldn't be astonished if expressing "unpopular opinions" on certain subjects (in a way not even offending anyone) were more risky in the US than here.

> You, arrested? Probably not. Jordan Peterson, maybe.

That is obvious. Still, the whole situation makes me sad.
