    What I’m illustrating is that America, despite being “the land of the free,” is very much not free.

    It isn’t and never was.

    So it doesn’t help that you’re assuming I don’t pay attention outside my borders.

    No, I didn’t say that. I felt as if you were saying the problems of bribery, corruption, unfair elections, systemic violence by government on its citizens are unique problems of the US government. It isn’t, we have also seen them, and I do sympathise with American people facing these things.

    we are all just as helpless as each other.

    People have power. Even the most oppressed people have fought for themselves, and in many cases, have won.

      Alright. So one, that’s literally America’s mantra. 2, that’s literally how you ended your last comment. 3, you’re just moving the goalpost. Instead of pretending to be arguing in good faith when this wasn’t even supposed to be an argument, just leave the comment section. What’s the point starting shit on a post that’s already a day old? If this is fun for you, maybe you should try Reddit.
