      Sure, mass surveillance, corporations have more rights than citizens, rigged anticompetitive economy, and a two tier justice system. Sounds super free.

      Texas, perversely, actually has a ton of nanny state bullshit laws to control the population.

          Can’t buy liquor on Sunday, weed is still strictly illegal, no public-driven initiatives, this bullshit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Senate_Bill_12 , the “bathroom bill”, there’s a real pattern of enforcing a very particular cultural identity through legislation and selective enforcement. It’s almost like the state that liked slavery so much it seceded from two different countries to keep doing it has long-standing issues with respecting anyone but wealthy white Christian men.

                He lives in paradise, and yet he’s such a loser that he yearns to live under the boot of 'Murica

                I think it’s because he’s stupid

                It could be something else, but Occam’s razor and all that

                I guarantee that he hasn’t spent enough time in’ Murica to know what life there is really like

                Unfortunately, I have
