Police states usually don't round up right wing protestors because the state is just as right wing as the protestors

eeeeeh comment requires some nuance tbh. I can think of enough examples. And there are rightish elements of a lot of movements that get slammed.
I think its more hubris than anything. Even right wing protesters who love the government have enemies that could hurt them. Opsec isnt conditional on the opposition being the government.
Um, there are left-wing police states also...
Really, which ones?
Is this the part where people list of left wing regimes and you sort them into "Actually did nothing wrong" and "They became right wing so it doesnt count"
That's a pretty weird and ultimately boring place to live.
