Meanwhile the US has more people dead from covid than literally any other country, even most countries combined. Certainly more people dead than China (again, despite having a much smaller population, and much lower urban population densities, which you’d think would mean an easier time preventing the spread of a virus).
Literally “better dead than red.”
Also, it’s a real bold claim that covid quarantine is equivalent to an actual prison.
Well, the question was “Who’s more authoritarian?”, not who had the better response to COVID-19 and I just thought the timing to consider China less authoritarian with what’s going on there right now rather comical.

Compared to prisons in US that’s probably true, lol. But still, a friend of mine is in lockdown since 1st of April and they haven’t left their flat since. Also food delivery broke down for a few days and they had to life of their stocked milk for four days. Certainly not a situation I’d like to be in.
Maybe if the rest of the world could put human lives over profit for a little bit we could all be over with this shit and China wouldn’t have to take such drastic measures, but no real measure has been taken by capitalist countries since the beginning of the pandemic.
True two months ago but now China has achieved something entirely impossible for the US, namely the imprisonment of more people than even live in the US: Nearly 400 million people are under covid lockdown in China

if “authoritarianism” is proper quarantine measures, then make this world authoritarian
AH YES LOCKDOWN = JAIL = GASSING CAMPS = GENOCIDE
When will you progress to that Washington consensus?
