It's ironic how few people actually understand what they are and are not garunteed by the laws they live under.
Uhhhhh, what?!
Here I thought I lived in the greatest country on earth. Turns out we’ve all just been getting away with being privileged the last 245 years. I can’t believe our government let us do all those things all these years.
I guess North Koreans don’t have it that bad. Turns out they’re still free. They just don’t have their privileges. I don’t know what they’ve been complaining about for so long. Bunch of whiners if you ask me.
2 years ago, 99.9% of both the left and right would have thought not being allowed in a store would never happen in a million years. Yet, some of you are treating the government like its airline management. “Well, there’s no language in the constitution that prohibits it, so yea, I’m ok with it”.
Uhhh, the government works for us. We don’t work for it. You are actually making the case that a dictatorship is completely fine as long as the constitution would allow it.
