Genghis Kahn largely allowed free speech and famously allowed freedom of religion. That was hardly a democracy.

At that demonstrating an example of one that has existed doesn't prove or disprove my argument. Just because no non democracy has (in the theoretical world where that were true) doesn't preclude one.

I agree. Also, just because democratic nations aren’t perfect doesn’t mean that they are overrated.

Oh democratic nations aren't overrated, democracy itself is. It is t really an indicator of freedom per se. Australia during the pandemic was a democracy with covid camps. Most democratic nations are freer than other forms of government, but using democracy as an indicator as in ops post does t actually mean as much as is being portrayed.
