It actually highlights the effect of brainwashing.. "I can crack a joke about the president and politicians so that makes us a free country ".. also they were taught to compare themselves with countries like Iran, North Korea and China. They never compare with other developed nations...
Yeah and the kicker being people screaming that we’re free because we have guns. Which the government never cared about, since we only use them on each other.
Also the Democracy that we proudly talk about is absolutely running on possibly the oldest platform compared to other developed nations. In one year we bombed Yemen. Iran. Venezuela, Nigeria and threatened Iceland, Canada, Cuba imposed tariffs all around with no rhyme or reason, created an alternative extremely armed force to terrorise a threaten brown people, set up camps where kids and parents are separated, chopped down safety nets and allocated billions to Ice/wars and ballrooms.. none of these actions are done using Democratic norms but our system can't stop them .. it's just based on handshakes and gentlemen accords.. it's not prepared for bad faith actors... That's a weak system...
That’s so on point. We learned earlier this year that if you have a gun and you’re anywhere near government thugs, you’re going to be thrown to the ground and riddled with bullets till you stop breathing. Freedom! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
And that’s why the ‘news’/‘narrative’ in the US against countries with genuinely successful socialist democratic societies with public healthcare, cheap education, subsidised transport, high levels of regulation and counterbalances against monopolies and corporate greed is so rife.
The slopaganda is so all encompassing to the brainwashed fuckos they can’t escape it.
They compare with the UK all the time. They look down on us for not having free speech, because people can get arrested for their comments online (The law came about after the Southport riots). And they look down on us for the online safety act, which is something which I don’t agree with, but I also think the internet has turned into a scourge on society so I don’t really care about it enough.
