We definitely found out where the totalitarian figures were and weren’t. Trump and Putin were both singing from the same songbook, both with variations of “so yeah we’re awesome because we got ahead of this with vaccines and we recommend everyone take them and freedom of choice is non-negotiable.” There were unfortunately some mandates — one dear person I know got the shot because he was required to for work and his health went way downhill and hasn’t fully come back. But there wasn’t the unanimity of pressure we saw happen in the west, and as I said, Russians found creative ways to opt out.
So what you are saying is there's no mandates and no tyranny?
