Aah, the birth of the modern American fascist regime.

Also the day I decided to renounce my citizenship and emigrate.

And since then there hasn't been a single large scale false flag attack against American citizens by their own government.

It would seem that the results speak for themselves.

Not only American, it spread all around the world.

You have no coherent worldview, do you?

Well, they are personally a troll. Not everyone on .ml is terrible, although some definitely are. But this one in particular is careful not to violate ToS so they can continue trolling.

I wasn't saying they were, but being on .ml comes with a specific ideology that pretty much exactly doesn't fit with their take here. That's all.

I should have assumed they were trolling, it's definitely funnier than them just being braindead for real.

Comically unconstitutional, proving once again that laws are meaningless.

You think I'm pro Patriot Act?

by their own government.

They were being sarcastic.

Ah dang. Tone doesn't carry too good over text, does it?

its actually memorable for me, before this i lived in the US for a short time and had visited often and had been thinking of trying to make it my home, after this i never came back.

Disappear teenagers? WTF are you on about?

In America babies are being shot dead because their moms tried to steal diapers.

We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, bigger than big mean ol' China with five times more citizens, all driven by legalized slavery under the 13th Amendment.
