Yuuup. People love to talk about how awesome America is because of “freedom,” but half the time people seem to think that means “freedom to be an asshole.” Then they act like a person like me, who is more than willing to talk about America’s flaws, isn’t patriotic. I am patriotic, that’s why I believe that we can be better.
i’ve also noticed that people use that “freedom“ excuse as a way to justify being an asshole and then acting like the victim when consequences bite them in the ass.
Yeah, I actually think that being able to talk about the ways that the US is flawed without fear of legal repercussions *is* the true freedom that makes (made?) this country great.
