Well, if you don't think unapproved thoughts and just go with the flow, doing as you're told, I'm sure you can feel free. But even before COVID, I was the sort to ask, "why," and it creates friction a free society shouldn't produce. And believe me, issues like police abuse and courtroom corruption predate the George Floyd case.

I often feel that despite what many think, Europe is pretty free in terms of the ability to think and express opinion. Though, I reckon it is changing as the US mentality blankets everything.
I think it always depends on personal experience. I grew up in "multicultural" Australia - as the only coloured family in a small town. I know what police abuse is - and it was at a much lower level than for instance in the ghettos of LA.
