Oh yeah, with AntiFa running around beating the shit out of people and destroying property in the name of being anti-fascist. (They're much more violent than the fascists are!) And BLM and BAMN rioters as well.

Oh, and let's not forget all the violent anti-Trump protesters that still gather and do the same things as AntiFa and BLM and BAMN do.

We have highways mysteriously burning down and collapsing and the story we're being told about how it happened is impossible and all sorts of other crazy shit.

Yep! Things are fanfuckingtastic over here in the States! If you pay no mind to the rioters. And the government passing laws that force us to declare how much cash we have, and forcing us to declare our cryptocurrencies and if we don't it's not a fine, oh no, they take every single thing you possess (that includes land) and a mandatory prison sentence.

Oh, and our government has now made it illegal to live off-grid. As in, you can't have a home with electricity that is entirely self-sufficient. It must be connected to the national power grid. Or else! (Which will also carry not a fee, but a mandatory prison sentence.. And probably seizing everything you own.)

This great great land, where the government somehow thinks that the cure to poor people not having access to medical care because they can't afford it is to mandate that poor people have to pay for health insurance. Because apparently health insurance equals the exact same thing as medical care? (When you have health insurance, you have to pay for the insurance AND medical care. And if you're pretty healthy and you don't want to pay for health insurance, that should be your decision!)

If the poor people that can't afford health insurance don't pay for that health insurance they can't afford? They get fined a large sum of money that they still can't afford that sets them back so much that they can't get health insurance during at least part of the following year which allows them to fine you again and even more money because not having health insurance for even a month or two in any given year allows them to fine you. And the fines go up every year.

Oh hell yeah! America is an awesome place! Land of the free! Better than it's ever been! Can you hear the screaming eagles flying overhead?

'Murica!

Damn, I guess the media doesn't tell you everything.

The media tells you what they're paid to tell you.

The truth they do tell you is often soft-disclosure. Or when some news tells you about some of the riots because without a doubt, you'll hear about it on the internet and then you're gonna raise a stink about why no one in the media was talking about it.

By the way, sorry if my last comment was over the top. It's just a small bit of the insanity going on here in the States. And it was actually quite fun to write.

Lol! Yeh, I wasn't exactly sure what to do with that xD Our politics is different, not better, just different...

I just think it's really really important for people in other countries know what's going on over here. The news other countries get is mostly the news the media wants them to get.

They're hiding so much of what's happening here even from us citizens. So I know the lack of information outside of the country has to be even worse.

I have never been more terrified in my life to be an American. I never felt untouchable, I never felt overly secure. But I wasn't terrified like this.

It's a really scary time over here. The government is locking down our freedoms and our money (including cash and cryptocurrency) as tightly as they can. They're making it illegal to live completely self-sustained lives.

It's illegal to live in an RV full time.

You know the tiny house craze sweeping the globe right now? The tiny houses that are usually built on trailers so you can haul them around the country/world? That is illegal here.

The government is forcing us to rely on them and they aren't even trying to make it look like they aren't anymore. They're just outright and blatantly doing these things now. And nothing seems capable of stopping it.

I'm sure that in another couple years, homesteading will outright be illegal. It's already illegal to collect rainwater for any purpose. (It has been for a long time, actually.)

People outside of the US desperately need to know these things. Why? Because the same thing is gonna start happening to them, and they need to know. The US is just the beginning.

Scary shit dawg. I guess it was only a matter of time before the ones with power decided to want more.

My guess is that it's not actually a recent thing. That this has been being planned for a very long time. It's just finally being executed.
