A lot of people don't understand just how authoritarian the UK (and to a lesser extent Germany) are. America actually is the land of the free compared to some first world places.

Yeah we have radical ideas about freedom and there isn't really a peer nation.

Even the most unpopular opinions are stringently protected here, plus we have things like the right to bear arms.

i had an epiphany the other day that what trump really means is that anything is possible

that also means actually having to face up to real politics where nationalism, socialism, communism, and fascism are all real possibilities but that's just waking up from the matrix which was actually neoliberalism all along

also i hear you can end up with some nasty jams from an outbreak of corbynism

mass protests technically aren't illegal in the US but they never happen because the police just gas and arrest a third of the people who show up to one

excepting the extremely boring ones like the women's march and march for science

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Making Sense of the Troubles by David McKittrick and David McVea is a pretty comprehensive and balanced read on the Troubles and why they occurred.
