Nice whataboutism. Are you trying to say as long as there are worse authoritarian regimes exists critiquing the American regime is bad?

[kleiba]

No, I'm saying that the US is not an authoritarian regime.

[belorn]

The US breaks their own laws and international laws when going after individuals who embarrasses the US government, including deploying the military if it suits them.

It is a bit like when telecom companies sent bribes to terrorists in order to gain telecom contracts. It not that they intend to do bad things, but occasionally they have to break the law when law stands in the way.

Tell that to the millions imprisoned for victimless "crimes"

[Nurw]

He did not even say america was an authoritarian regime, you made that argument up yourself
