Is this the American freedom I keep hearing twats in red hats talk about?
Their freedom always boils down to I’m allowed the freedom to make terrible choices, whereas your pussy government tries to care for and protect your community. Be it gun access, their healthcare system, food safety, gambling regulation, medical programs, pollution laws… (this list in almost infinite).
By their yardstick, the most freedom-loving countries in the world are just those where money buys you access and permission to everything - Somalia, Sudan, Cameroon, Cambodia, North Korea, Russia… you know… the same places they call shitholes.
One day they’ll maybe figure out collectively that they have been had by the wealthy, who advertise and campaign to trick them into voting against taxation and regulation and protections that benefit them and their whole community, but it won’t be anytime soon.

Plenty of USians already realize this, but those are the ones who are viewed as “radical commies” and “no good, lazy, do-nothing, drains on society” then blacklisted from employment at any company large enough to offer healthcare…
Yeah, I know the US populace isn’t a monolith, but we hear the ‘freedom’ lines a lot and it’s fatiguing. Globally we’re absolutely rooting for those guys to overcome the system that works against them, and to peel open the glued-shut eyes of the ‘freedum’ variety citizens to show them reality.
There are similar attitudes worldwide and we have to fight it ourselves regularly to keep it from damaging our own country’s progress.
We’re working on it, believe it or not. We’ve got several trillion dollars in military and industrial capital to chew through, and about a hundred years of propaganda to boot. But dammit, the sane ones among us at least, we’re still trying.
I wish you the best. We’re rooting for your success ✊
How does that not violate free speech? Corporations have been very clear that money is their version of free speech during elections.
This is misleading. Colorado doesn’t have a law restricting government contracts with companies boycotting Israel. It DOES have a law preventing the state pension from investing in companies that boycott Israel though.
This is probably more accurately a map of states with Anti-BDS laws supporting Israel.
I’m non-US so I can’t comment one way or another about the facts, but the map at that link is identical.
That would seem to support his claim then.
