11pm isn't really that bad. Especially when everything closed at midnight before this anyways. I don't have this need to visit the bar right now anyways.

But I guess I'm supposed to believe that a bed time makes me "less free" than the inability to live overseas without the IRS wanting to be involved in every part of my life while NOT living in America.

Perspective. It's a hell of a drug.

Thanks for paying your taxes and housing your anti-American tripe overseas. You're the real MVP.

Lots of cuckpedes angry at you because you dared to suggest America isn't perfect. Fact is a lot of expats have said the same thing. America is far less free than these idiots pretend and while Trump is doing what he can, over half the population is completely worthless.

Yup. Living in a benevolent dictatorship makes you feel free in comparison to America. Sure if you piss off the President you could end up in jail, but in America under Obama it'd get you drone striked, and day to day you don't have to worry about being murdered by the police in a lot of countries that Americans look down their nose at.

Our stated laws are free-er than other countries, absolutely. But how those laws are enforced? The FBI is worse than most police forces in foreign countries.

Right. So you see that when the winds change in Europe, suddenly people are getting locked up for wrong think while we're still relatively safe in that regard. But that's more so because it's more convenient to destroy people's life in the court of public opinion here and keep them thinking they're free. After all, they could always do a no-knock raid on your home, murder you in your bed, plant CP on your computer, and everyone would cheer their heroic police force.

I love a good trip to a dirt poor southeast Asian country, everything is cheap, there are basically no rules, you're more or less a rockstar. But a look behind the curtain and seeing just how poor everyone is and the conditions they live in are pretty horrific. After traveling the world a good bit over the last 15 years, America is a good balance of laws vs freedom, and while there will always be things that are important to certain people they want changed (either more freedom or more control) this country does a good balancing act.
