Same

They are not, end of story.

@Misomania it's not feudalism though. Feudalism is the pledging of military power to create micro-states. This is more subtle, it's creating a propaganda department and letting it run amok. A democracy with a secret police to a degree.

More like Modern China than Feudal England.

China has freedom of speech and elections. You just aren't allowed to ask questions or make discussions that "threaten the safety and harmony of society and the state" and your election choices are rather narrow.

A constitutional right *is not enough*

thinking more of what will happen with this globalism and corporatism mixing

Why even call it free speech when it's clearly not

Propaganda value. The Social Justice left is all for Free Speech too, you will notice.

They just have a very peculiar definition and very peculiar set of ideas on what counts as "free"

Very narrow set of definitions.

That keeps shrinking.

Yes, so they *say* they have free speech

@Misomania again, still not feudalism. The left has this notion of corporations acting as feudal states, but it's just not accurate and most companies tend not to care.

It doesn't get us anywhere to use their redefinitions of free speech

That's my point. You have to be very particular and dedicated to the principle of freedom of speech.

Simply waving "free speech" is never enough.

non citizen?

Yes.

illegals?

Yes.

how is that even possible lol

Your asking me... no oversight.

What do you mean? Leftist states openly do this

People accepting people based on ideology most likely instead of what legal or illegal.

No one cares in Cali

sometimes i think... america is better off than europe...
but with articles like that... i think the opposite

Migrants are just getting citizenship in europe

They still have the same problems, or worse

Our social services will in sense, sooner or later run out thanks to them being drained by foreign nationalists who send money out of the nation.

America is doing better than Europe right now. That would be the way I'd describe it.

IF you are going to have a socialist program, you can't have people outside your nation draining it.

All that does it hurt the nation as a whole and ruin the social program.

That social program isn't from the government, it is from the taxpayers.

what a clown world we live in ...

That has a simple solution then, Dusty. America just has to annex the world.
