Its funny that this is targeted at US really although i agree that considering they the land of the free, they do have very limited freedom compared to socialist countries
honestly compared to even other imperial core countries amerikkka is lacking in concrete freedoms, and basically even on abstract/negative freedoms.
The freedom to choose if your neighbor has a livable wage or dies slowly from a lack of income if you're rich in imaginary numbers.
When you realize that “free” means “lack of oversight and regulation” it all kinda comes together.
Yeah the "land of the free" really depends on how you want to define freedom. Free to live a happy healthy life? Only if you're rich. The rich are free to fuck over the rest of us though.
