Way to shit all over the thread, tankies! As usual.
It's the "Christian" rednecks with guns that are threatening everyone else.
I really dislike this dumbass meme and it just gets worse the longer it's been around. Letting rednecks have guns creates a lot of our problems. Letting Christians be Christians creates a lot of our problems. America is about freedom? Tell that to Black people. Tell that to immigrants. Shit, tell that to people who aren't immigrants but who are having their citizenship challenged because they're the wrong shade. Tell that to women and trans people who need healthcare. America is about freedom for some and not for others, and this meme is for the some.
I think the meme's not so much about how it actually is in reality, but more like how we think it should be like/if it was the "ideal" situation. That's at least how I interpreted it.
Moi aussi
Rednecks hanging black people from trees is as American as apple pie! Every one ought to have a little bit of freedom (may vary according to location).
The only freedom that is truly sacred in America is the freedom to exploit the working class for profit.
Why the focus on Christians in particular? There are a lot more religions in the US than just Christianity.
Also, a lot fewer people would have something against Christians if Christians quit trying to infringe on everyone else's rights. Gay marriage, abortion, and unnumerable other things are only an issue because Christians make it one.
Before anyone says it, yes, I know that's not all Christians, but it is the "Christians" controlling the government right now. The kind of Christian who doesn't understand or care about the teachings of Jesus.
Here in the south, it is all christians.
i wish we could leave religion behind as a species. believing in made up bullshit has held us back for thousands of years, regardless of what flavor of made up bullshit people happen to believe in at the moment. anything positive about religion can be had without the made up bullshit.
I fear though that leaving behind religion just means people will find other things to religiously latch onto. Look at techbros with technology, cults who kiss the feet of the regular vanilla human who leads them, analysts with market systems.
The need to believe in something bigger and more powerful than us that can save and guide us seems to be built into a lot of humans on a fundamental level, sadly.
Imagine.
I wonder if you can
Why the focus on Christians in particular?
I’m guessing the ubiquity.
To me it reads as a right-wing attempt at being inclusive while still saying that Christians and gun owners are being persecuted just as much as the rest of these groups.
I can see that, but i didn’t read it that way.
This is some white people shit.
Any man who has to say "I am the king" is no true king.
Ask people who posted Charlie Kirk quotes after his death how "free" the US is.
The ones who won half a million dollars?
Guns equating to freedom is straight up NRA propaganda. Do we really think people in Australia, the UK, and Japan are oppressed by tyranny?
The 2nd is the only "right" that the lowest government official can execute you for exercising. That's what passes for freedom in America?
Guns alone wont provide freedom unless you organize
What, into some kind of, what, a militia?
I mean, I guess so, but what about regulations? Would they be well?
Militias don’t last long here in the IS, because the moment they get organized and large enough to actually do something the government raids them and incarcerates them.
This is one of those things where there is a workable middle ground.
There isn't anything inherently wrong with gun ownership, but it should be heavily regulated and require a license which to acquire, requires that you prove you have a fundamental level of safety.
Do we really think people in Australia, the UK, and Japan are oppressed by tyranny?
Yes obviously because they are states, and they impose capitalist economies on their subjects 
The 2nd is the only "right" that the lowest government official can execute you for exercising.
Nah, the lowest government official might execute you for exercising any right or none at all, especially if you're Black or Indigenous. 
Tyranny of the majority, and of the crown for those 3.
So brave. Needs updating for things that are more controversial today. Trans rights, open borders, kicking police out of your neighborhood, etc.
I agree
Nice message. However, the whole point of christianity is to prevent everyone from having any fun. Christians are free to enjoy their religion, in PRIVATE.
The funny thing about Christianity is not all Christians are equal so bringing religion into government leads to hating themselves and they don't realize that they will be the ones to marginalizing themselves.
Freedom to say what you want to somebody? Freedom to kill somebody? Freedom to hurt somebody? Freedom to go to war with anybody? Freedom to choose to exclude whoever you want from society?
Werd
~~AmeriKKKa~~ Turtle Island should be about freedom. Fuck colonizer trash
