i was raised with three different cultural/national identities and i can assure you that the US is nowhere near a police state or an authoritarian nightmare as china, so i promise you you don't need to get your undies in a bundle.

good night sweet prince

if you think the US is authoritarian you have a severe case of first world privilege. i think you should travel the world and see some real poverty and oppression.

Mostly at the airport when the dirty foreigners like me try to come in. ( I’m always afraid of it, just cos it’s an invasion of privacy. ) US customs agents are always assholes. Worst of any nation I’ve ever been to.
