              You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.

              Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you won’t face consequences of what you say.

                    So free speech that is constitutionally protected is a sign of an underdeveloped nation? Weird viewpoint but ok you do you.

                    The US is the only country with a flag on the moon, from where I live I can watch weekly launches into space. Europe depends upon us for manned launches. Our military is also more advanced than any other nation and is globally dominant which reinforces our hegemony.

                    We are one of the largest energy exporters (which hopefully Biden will curb, I don’t want the US exporting so much Natural Gas and oil that it drives up our ultra low domestic prices and exposes us to higher over seas rates. Preventing further global warming is a good bonus).

                    Did I mention that our economy is larger and is growing faster than the EU? Nearly forgot that one… https://statisticstimes.com/economy/united-states-vs-eu-economy.php

                    Seems like we have a few things going for us.

              The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.

              It’s delicious.

              It’s all about you, isn’t it? Not as though I’ve been a presence in this thread or anything.

              Best way to avoid me would be to stop posting such aggressively stupid bullshit.

                  People should indeed be safe from slavery - lead paint too. Shame it seems it’s a little late for you on that front.

                    People should be safe from slavery. Convicted murderers, pedophiles, rapists and criminals who are serving a prison sentence should not.

                    Are you pro rapist and pediphile?

      If only you supported education, more specifically geography, as much as you pretend to support the Constitution.

        No I fully support the constitution and wish the amendments were universal human rights, not just American rights.

          No thanks. You can keep your constitution. Ours isn’t perfect either, but I prefer it to yours.

          So you want more deaths in the world?

          Well I don’t.

          Any country where you need a gun in order to feel safe is a shithole.

            Weird flex but ok. I suppose if you are privileged enough to stay in a country with no violence you should probably stay there.

            For everyone else, we like our rights to self defense.

          A populace with the ability to kill anyone with the press of a button isn’t free or safe - it’s fearful, which is a dangerous thing to be when you have a gun.

          Gestures lazily at gun deaths per capita compared to the rest of the developed world.

          There’s also the 13th - Slavery is fine so long as we criminalise you. Why the fuck would you want this, exactly?

          Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

          The deification of the founding fathers - a bunch of slave owners and the like is deeply weird. They had some good ideas… and some atrocious ones.

        I love the duality of Lemmy users:

        “Ohhh nooos we can’t depend upon the police!”

        “Ohh nooos how dare someone suggest taking agency for their own safety ! 2A is baddd mmmkay!”

          Bark on about how your rights are being taken, maybe when you find your oppressor we can throw a gun in the mix and see who comes out victorious. Waah waah, the powers are holding me down. Let’s go get the state to allow more unrestricted access to fire arms, as that’s everyone’s solution to everything.

                  Buddy, you’re the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. TF i care about your trolling, you’re in a thread about domestic abuse, and have no grasp on the statistics I presented to counter your high and mighty opinion.

                    Lol, dropping a link in a post does not constitute an argument or a counter to my “high and mighty opinion”. That is a citation.

                    If you can’t form a coherent argument on your own thats fine, but don’t delude yourself into thinking dropping a link is a substitute.
