lmfao a western-backed "freedom index" is not a substitution for media literacy, nor does it excuse you from providing literally any material evidence to support your argument.

Also, do you want to explain why Israel is ranked at 112; 50 places above Venezuela and Palestine; and why Saudi fuckin Arabia is right there between VZ and PA? Seems to me like this "freedom index" doesn't correlate very well with democracy or human rights, much less evidence-based journalism or state transparency.

America only entered WWII to take a piece of the pie.

It was pretty clear at that point that if the US didn't enter, the USSR would take the win and have the chance to bring more Nazi-occupied territories into their union. Many US corporations were even collaborating with the Nazis, the US made carve outs to prevent factories in Nazi territories being bombed, as we already know the US profits immensely from war, and then after the war they shipped all the Nazi scientists and generals into high places in government. They weren't exactly sworn enemies. Defeating the Nazis was not as high a priority as limiting the influence of the USSR. Their participation was always cynical, which might be why it seemed "counter-productive" at times.

Imagine being an FBI informant just for the same government to turn around and give you 14 years for a crime that it only selectively cares about

lmfao the notion that the feds would try to crush socialism by directly inviting us to study forces that have successfully fought off the US military is so funny to me.

I'd say that's a ridiculous choice and it's time to organize with the masses against the system that presented it to us; rather than undermine that effort by treating the system as legitimate and shaming others for not seeing the candidates and their futures the way I did.

Hand me two cups of shit, I still have free will to throw them back in your face. The system can force feed if it wants but you won't see me voluntarily picking a shit cup and eating shit.

Liberals arent a singular group

They are when your definition of a liberal is material rather than aesthetic.

War is peace, apparently.

I can't. She's a puppet for Washington. An heiress of the Venezuelan oligarchic elite whose only intention is to destabilize the government so she and her cronies can sell off Venezuela's natural resources, notably oil, while cutting public services and pocketing the cash for themselves.

This is literally just "Maduro bad, opposition good." This is like putting a healthcare CEO's granddaughter up in the US as we've only begun to recover, 25 years after removing Trump from power, and a powerful enemy state; let's say Russia; sabotaging any recovery, pointing at the results of their sabotage as proof recovery has failed, and awarding Ms. Thompson numerous prizes and recognition for being hated by the public and rightfully prevented from holding power. And that's to say nothing of whatever leader would actually be in power in that scenario.

You quite literally cannot. Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism.

Can't recommend a phone but I had a great experience with swappa if you're in the US and open to something used. There's a couple flip phones listed.

Sure, if you assume their "political enemies" are the Republicans. Rather than assume incompetence; because, you're right, this is a pretty glaring oversight that only bumbling incompetence could begin to explain away; you could make a much more fitting assessment with the "political enemy" being the working class.

That is who this law is being wielded against, the only ones who were ever threatened by it, along with being completely disempowered to abuse it against the ruling class who passed it. Those are the enemies that fit your description.

There was a kid that shit his pants at my middle school. Left a little nugget that slid out of his basketball shorts in the hallway. I guess there was also some on his seat which nobody noticed until a girl in the next class sat in it.
