No place is free by that standard. The people sets the policy and when you transgress the people will push back via their representatives in the government. The government that they chose.
The problem isn’t the system, the problem is that most people don’t agree with you. Start changing people’s mind and quit looking for shortcuts.

I think this is objectively untrue, as evidenced by the rampant “lesser of two evils” analogies that fly every single election season.
The problem is that, absent a homegrown terrorist event or a presidential assassination (neither of which I condone, mind you) the people are effectively powerless in the face of the stranglehold the oligarchy has on our government.
But, the people have gone all Blair Mountain before. It could happen again I suppose.
If you’re a wage earner, a minority, a woman, or just simply don’t fit conventional American culture, it’s openly fascist to you. Hell, Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will follow.
There aren’t any concentration camps that we know of, at least not yet, but I am sure that will change when Trump is reelected in November and every fascist thing he’s done is vindicated.
I think for these types of posts you have to be clear what type of dissent won’t be tolerated. The loony QOP people like to pretend that they suffer under an authoritarian state. But they don’t challenge capitalism or colonialism so they don’t really suffer oppression. Not like Gaza protesters or people who try to exit capitalism.
