Thankfully I don't live in the US, as it was shown again and again that your government is doing whatever it wants to its population, including chemical tests and total surveillance. I just hope they don't get bored of you guys anytime soon and start bullying innocent European.

  • The overly cynical details in my comment are partly on purpose.

I’d probably be more worried if I lived in Russia, or China, or Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan, or a ton of other places in Eastern Asia, Central America, the Middle East, or Africa.

So given some three or four dozen or so comparatively worse options, you’re probably not that bad off in the US. But of course they are not perfect either.

Probably living in constant fear that the US government is going to take away their guns.

I've heard that line since the 80's. Not feasible even if it was possible.

Yes, they have flamethrowers.

People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. Or at least according to V. 👺
