A so-called enemy of the State isn't necessarily an enemy of their country.
Oftentimes it's simply someone who disagrees with, and/or disapproves of,
their government's policies and its management practices.
For example: there are quite few citizens in China who love their country but
are very unhappy with the ways, means, and methods by which the
Communist Party is ruling it. Were those folks to publicly voice their
dissent, they'd likely be arrested, imprisoned and/or executed for instigating
trouble, spreading rumors, and/or treason.
There was a time in the USA when a second opinion was respectable. Here
of late, any opinion that fails to support and/or align itself with the State's
opinion, is labeled misinformation, a danger to the country, domestic
terrorism, extremist, and/or insurrection.
The below was once a widely-accepted motto in America; it is rapidly
becoming thought of by a certain element of our society as a bad attitude.
I disapprove of what you say, but
I will defend to the death your right to say it.
