Goodness knows the US doesn’t disappear people into secret prisons for secret reasons. That would be wrong. Or beat protesters. Or soak them in cold water during a bitterly cold winter. Or spray them with pepper spray as they writhe, helpless, on the ground. Or, you know, murders them, randomly, for special lucky secret reasons nobody is allowed to know about.
And the US certainly doesn’t randomly remove people’s assistance or make them take expensive drug tests or make them work for their meager government assistance paycheck. Those, too, would be wrong.
And if you think “But those things happen to Other People,” well congratulations, so do the folk of Belarus. And the people abiding cruel, unjust, criminal regimes throughout history.
