Americans and many others are propagandized into thinking they live in a free society. After all it is in the constitution. You know free speech, freedom of movement etc. They point to China that does not have a constitution promoting free speech and does not have free speech either. They don't point to their own attacks on free speech. Like arresting journalists. Like people losing their jobs for being "antisemitic". They don't point to all the controls they are putting on gay and trans people. They never point to their destruction of the environment or their greed for more more more money.
recently saw a tiktok of an american chinese comparing chinese and american constitutions. chinese had quite some 'democracy' and 'democratic' in it, american had none. us is constitutional republic, not a democracy as the right wing often stipulates.

When people talk of freedom what they are usually concerned about is their access to guns, booze, and porn.
Well said Susan!
