Focus on activities forbidden in other countries
DeepSixed. Have you really focused on that?
Let's compare it to Italy.
Freedom of Speech - V
Freedom of Travel the number of states of the federation (Europe). V
Freedom of Religion - V
Freedom to bear arms - V with laws. You just need to take a course to get a license. My dad had it, and my boy dad have it too.
Freedom to be a lazy piece of **** - V
At a first sight, seems that your freedom aren't nothing special or unique. All depends on HOW this freedom is protected and used, but this changes a lot between single countries into the same Usa. You can expect a few differences here and there.
About the freedom to speech, here all the newspapers are totally free to say **** about elected dudes. They simply don't do it 'cuz those peoples gives them more money than others. No one is forced to write bad things or good things for money, but actually no one have a backup to avoid doing it. Also, people loves to buy certain things and hates others, so newspaper just sell them what they know will be bought.
No one will ever write that "korea is good", since no one would buy the newspaper then.
Ther's no freedom of speech, even when there is, 'cuz people needs to eat and needs money in order to do so.
Freedom.
But freedom alone is synonymous of "abandoned", and there the freedom die under reality and facts.
On the paper and on your description, America is the same as the other countries.
I just want to point out that the "freedom" pride of America is like be proud of have hot water. Yes. Cool. But that's not the main identity of Usa, or actually it isn't when we looks at fact.
To make it clear, i don't think Usa are a prison and i'm not saying this.
I just think that the Freedom worshipping is so bright that it blinds everybody that looks at it like if it's something "special and unique". And they don't look over it, focusing on other main things.
If i think Usa, i think a lot of people talking about Freedom, but then you can choose between only two mayor party. That's weird as hell. Then less than half of the population doesn't vote at all. That's actually a bit too much freedom if you can ignore the place where you live on. But vote the same two party for ages can become quite boring, so well...
Then i see big companies cheating the Usa legally, creating their headquarters slightly out the Usa, but getting all the Usa advantages with less taxes. And Usa have to keep the freedom market, so can't make laws to prevent this daily raiding of your moneys. All he can do is "ask for some agreement with the company", even if it's a whole State talking with a Company. Since when government is under a company will? Oh well. Freedom to be money puppets.
This won't effect your daily life, for now, because Usa have A LOT of land to exploit, and land means economy, and economy means that it can replace all the badly planned freedom things with money coming from elsewhere.
You know what?
That's not new, not old. That's just how the world works pretty much everywhere. What just surprise me is that i have to say this. YOU are supposed to say this to me, not me to you, since is the land where you all lives. So you are supposed to be interested in this, but all i see is the worship of a word that have anything special, compared to our regular freedom that we just call civil rights.
We are giving our opinion about a colorful lid with written "freedom" on it, completely ignoring what's inside the jar. Won't you share what you see in the jar, instead?
