I see variations of this argument pop up in this debate, which always confuses me.
I’d expect the takeaway to be “That’s bad, so we shouldn’t do it” instead of “Hold my beer and let me show you how we can follow their example.”
I always thought that the point was to not be like authoritarian countries.
