America is a police state, ruled by a corrupt elite Willing to break laws, rewrite them if possible, create secret ones when needed, they will torture, murder, commit war crimes, this the country Americans reside in, only they do not want to except this increasingly glaring truth.
What happens instead is people who speak out are ignored, derided, and silenced.

- jensen123 11y agoAmerica is a democracy, where a majority of the population supports the War on Drugs, War on Terrorism etc.
- ionised 11y agoAmerica was never a democracy. It was founded as an oligarchy in the guise of a constitutional republic.
- saiya-jin 11y agoactually, what stroke me hard when I went from Europe to US in 2003 for summer student work was how much more repressive the whole system felt. For example coworkers (in central Hollywood) openly afraid of cop cars going in opposite direction, because they had forgotten an unscrewed bottle of alcohol which was not in the trunk. It might very well be we'll be in similar place in 10 years here, but it was quite a shock to experience back then.
- hsod 11y agoMaybe it's just my American blinders, but I don't see how "you can get arrested for driving with an open container of alcohol" is particularly repressive.
