>supposedly freer
Which always begs the question "freer to do what?"
-Ride a train without being assaulted by negros? No.
-Have our kids go to public school and not worry some consoler will try to trans them? No.
-Work a job without concern that the government will replace you with the 'foreigner of the day'? No.
And so on.
There are a few carveouts that are nice, but that's what they are.
