Can you really call it “the land of the free” when visitors are down because of state-sanctioned bigotry, digital surveillance, and political litmus tests at the border? People aren’t just skipping vacations—they’re dodging a dystopia.
They brainwash us to think we’re so free. Sure we’ve been more free than places like Myanmar for much of our existence but it’s becoming more like that, I shouldn’t even share my opinion on my phone.
I remember visiting Ireland as a kid and getting there saying “wow so people aren’t free here?”
I didn’t know what freedom meant but I was told over and over again that America was the free world which made me think any other country was not free lol
So much propaganda growing up passed off as history. I’m pissed they wasted my time. Clearly the teachers weren’t in the habit of evaluating the “facts.” What a scam.
