    well the EU pretends it doesn’t do this - and usually also have to respond to complaints.

    like I agree the eu is shit, with lotsa shit – but it is miles ahead of dictatorships. if you talk against the government in both cases you get jail. usually pretty bad jail.

    the secret police can poison you, or disappear you. and sure, in eu the state can do a lot of shit, but they can’t stop people from talking openly about it
