This is the least free country that has ever existed, MAYBE barring the UK, NZ and Canada.
You can't do anything in this country.
Want to have a beer on the river with your friends? Illegal.
Want to drive a car on the roads you paid for? Registration, titling, insurance, license. The you have to abide by bullshit like traffic lights. I don't need a fucking light to tell me when the intersection is clear.
Want a job? Online applications, interview, drug test, physical, arbitration agreements, contracts. For barely a living wage.
Want to make fucking trinkets to sell on the side of the road? 50% taxes on every transaction, sales tax, accountants, IRS up your ass, licenses. Oh wait, some paki fuckwit makes the same thing but sells it for 15 cents to (((importers))) so you have to sell it for a quarter of what it's worth.
Want to catch a fish? That'll be $45. Be sure to abide by all the laws and regulations or you'll go to jail!
Want to take people out fishing on your boat to make some money? You need a captain's license. 5 years minimum experience as a deck hand, classes, registrations, licenses, commercial fishing permits.
Imagine living in a fucking country where you can't even catch a fish without the government being up your ass.
The bill of rights is important, politically, and sets us uniquely apart in the realm of free speech. Look how many nations have basically made it illegal to even homeschool your children.
The USA is flawed because the population is stupid and lazy and complacent. And we are losing these rights because people don't want to fight for them.
But you'll find me hard pressed to think any other nation has it better when most of them allow the state to rape you for even mentioning race or not wanting a vaccine. Ie covid camps in Canada and Australia. Or speech laws in most of the western world criminalizing opinions with state enforcement.
The UK is actually a relative bastion of freedom compared to most places. And it showed when they refused most of the most draconian coof mandates like vaccine passports to buy groceries. The reality is most of the 3rd world and Asia etc basically don't allow any freedom of thought, movement, or bodily autonomy.
The biggest bitch fit I can point to is the lack of freedom of association due to the civil rights act in the 1960s.
> The USA is flawed because the population is stupid and lazy and complacent.
Is a direct result of homeschooling. Now hear me out, you've been deceived by the corrupt system. Do you know anything about how schooling actually works outside America? How public schools isn't comically similar to a prison, or how many countries with free education also have free private schools.
Finland for instance has some of the best schools in the world, they have public and private schools. Their key of success is that everyone needs to learn the basics, how you are taught doesn't matter, but they do follow up. Meanwhile in America, a "home schooled" kid can be anything from a success story to a kid hidden from the government, locked up in a basement and raped by their degenerate parents. There's no checks, too individualistic and nobody gives a fuck.
> when most of them allow the state to rape you for even mentioning race or not wanting a vaccine.
Once again (((who))) told you this? Why do you believe in it? what evidence do you have? You don't even speak any other language than English, how could you possibly know the laws written in other languages?
This is once again a clear example of ignorance, (((they))) keep you ignorant on purpose, because if you don't know anything better, you believe you're the best. Most of the world speak English and can learn about America.
Did you know that the US has the worlds largest prison population, both per capita and in total numbers. Your prisons are based on punishment instead of rehabilitation. So tell me again, who's really getting raped by their government beside US Americans.
> Or speech laws in most of the western world criminalizing opinions with state enforcement.
Every country has a constitution ensuring fundamental free speech. The reason you don't see more people writing messages on their cars or clothes is solely cultural or wisdom. You think you can say anything in the US without consequences? That's not true, (((they))) find a way to silence you. In fact, it's very easy for them to track you down when you have all the stickers on your car, which has your loicense plate.
> The UK is actually a relative bastion of freedom compared to most places.
Yes, the UK may be the only developed country that in a sense have less freedom than the US. Hooray for you, now you just need to become better than the other 43 countries in Europe with more freedom.
This is yet another example of Americas problem, when confronted with reality, instead of recognizing that the problem exist, that you need to fix something to actually regain a lost freedom. You immediately start to grasp for countries your government told you is doing worse in that metric. Often ending up comparing yourself to pure shithole countries. As if second worst in the world were something to be proud of.
Americans have lost the will to fight for freedom. And that will never come back if you keep telling yourself lies and make excuses.
Public schools are just state indoctrination centers. And what happens when some whacko in the state wants to teach whack shit? Pass.
Regardless you take standardized testing if you homeschool or not, ergo that's a check on learning.
I did not assert free speech bears no consequences, but moreso than other western nations, Americans are allowed to be vocally agitating to authority without state prosecution, usually and with more frequency due to our 1st amendment protections, which are strong. Even the UK, which has a foundational common law preference for free speech is dangerously repressive of simple commentary.
The reality of most places is there is little protection if you criticize authority. I've lived/worked/lived in many of those places.
> The reality of most places is there is little protection if you criticize authority.
Yes, including America. I'd say you have no protection in fact as corrupt official hate being noticed as much as the jews does. Stay anonymous unless you want to get silenced.
