...to die elsewhere if you can't afford to live here.

The next part of that lie is the fallacy that we have some kind of intrinsic "freedom of speech."

People think our "freedom" gives us a view into the rest of the world and how it's still the best thing in the world to live in the USA.

All you have to do is open your web browser in the airport of another country. We have a sliver of perspective here, we don't get to see what challenges other countries have overcome, from healthcare to housing the homeless to giving people actual freedoms by giving them peace of mind about their future.

If nothing else, you get to see how much the rest of the world really hates the US government and would be happy if we stopped building bases and blacksites in their countries.

Tbf, i also hate the us government and would appreciate if they stopped having military bases or black sites... Anywhere?
