    I have pretty severe concerns about the way the American government operates.

      We have traded the literal genocide and opression for corporations performing economic genocide and opression on us.

      But hey, aren’t billionaires cool?

      Yeah, well, I like having rights so we’ll just have to accept that everything can’t be perfect.

        You know the majority of the world has the same if not more rights than you. Take Canada, I can go to any hospital without worrying if I will become bankrupt. I can own the majority of firearms this world has to offer and if I get pulled over, the police can not legally rob me because the money I have on hand isn’t drug money unless there is difinitive proof that it is.

            What the previous comment to yours was criticising the US govt. I didn’t move any goal posts was just pointing out that your freedoms is to do what your are told. Not much difference from China tbh

            That’s the hypocrisy that we’re pointing out

        Typical American Exceptionalism take. Hey buddy, there are hundred of free countries that provide their citizens with inalienable rights.

        How about you take your “America can do anything” attitude and apply it to GOOD instead of killing others?

        American CAN do anything it wants, like helping its citizens.

        It chooses not to.
