In which country? The US is an aggressive total surveillance state that executes people in the street and gives out 30 year sentences for people who didn't even show up at a protest, the UK jails grannies for holding up Palestinian flags, and Canada something something something something truckers something something.

In the long term, the US is far more likely to turn into China than not.

Yeah, because protesting billionaire bought laws has such a wonderul track record in the West that there are scarcely any left.

To protest in most places in Australia you need a government permit.
