Working at the dmv and talking about how incompetent bureaucracy are isn't the kind of talking we're talking about

Go work for a railroad and try to organize a general strike and tell me how safe you feel

At least I can speak freely and scream from the rooftops about the shitty parts of the US

Someone's never heard of the Free Speech fights.

You can and will be jailed just for saying shit, if people start to listen to you and you're saying the wrong shit. Your "freedom of speech" is as worthless as used toilet paper the moment a judge decides to issue an injunction against you i.e. the strikes in Harlan County in the 70s had judges jailing people for using the word "scab."

Also fun fact I learned today, remember the Kent State Massacre? People were ordered to apologize for being shot just to get compensation, which only covered legal defenses. Land of the fucking free, lmao

Leaking confidential information, as damning as it may be, is illegal.

When your life is made illegal, what're you gonna do, liberal? Roll over for the bourgeois state like a good boy?

Fun fact, the origin of "whataboutism" was its use as the phrase "whataboutery" during the Troubles in Ireland as the Irish accused the British of atrocities only to be dismissed as "whataboutery"

Weird how it's always used as a thought terminating cliche to prevent criticism of the dominant empire, huh!

Good thing it only works on idiots like you
