Well we all certainly free to live in your head.

You literally just described living in Florida.

Sans Florida Man shenanigans, tho.

I think the better question that needs to be answered about political threads like these is this.

"Why care about something that doesnt affect you?"

We truly ignore this question. But it becomes more true every day with these threads. I check peoples profiles. Europe. European nations like the UK. France. Spain. Germany. Finland.

And I think I know the reason why.

"To find an excuse to complain."

That's part 2, after enough beers and maybe some weird European drug that gives super human strength but also the desire to bite someone's face off.

I pay 50 bucks for car insurance. I get free health Care. And i can drink a beer in front of any cop no problem while many restaurants are open after 11pm.

How's that freedom working out for ya ?

You didn't say where you're from so people can compare with the US.

But I'd say I'd rather have free speech and the other rights in the Bill of Rights than have cheaper health insurance.

Of course, theoretically, it's possible to have both of these things... but not in practice because the Democrats would rather spend tax money on military spending and wars than on making life better for Americans.

I find it eerie that so many of them have a parasocial relationship with a nation on the other side of the planet.

I find it strange too. Its almost like they hate their country and the US as an echo chamber or something, lol.

idk, i don't pay that much for car insurance, i can afford decent health care and be seen quickly, even for minor stuff and i don't drink, but i can go into a store and buy cannabis seltzers or concentrates, etc. plus we have okay access to guns/cans. it could be a lot worse, but it could be a lot better. everyone's got their own perspectives.

I always hear stuff from them like, "You only speak one language, and don't travel to other countries! We have to learn multiple languages and travel to other countries!"

And I start to wonder if they don't teach geography over there.

Exactly.

Theyre just finding an excuse to complain all day at that point

Not sure how they can do it all day. Eventually for some, it gets tiresome.

In the late 18th century when the rest of the world was still mostly absolute monarchies, the USA was founded as the most enlightened government since the serene Republic of Venice and the Dutch Republic golden age.

Today, the US isn't even in the top 20.
