As someone that has lived in a police state before, I can't tell you that your feelings in the US aren't valid. They are yours alone. But perhaps travel somewhere were actual security forces search you randomly, harass you for no reason, etc. Experiences I have never had in the US, not once.
- kelipso 4y agoYou lived in a shithole, so what? 80% of a shithole is still a shithole.
- throwaway29812 4y agoIf you are going to shorthand entire countries as "shitholes" you should do so up front, so I don't waste my time responding to you.
- kelipso 4y agoI don't need to hear some bullshit about how hard you've had it in some random country, could not give a shit. At least we are not in Nazi Germany lol is not something I'll care about.
- throwaway29812 4y agoIt's called perspective. If you don't have it, fine. But I wouldn't loudly brag about how small your world is.
- kelipso 4y agoI don't care about the "perspective" of some shithole country, just like I don't care about the perspective of some caveman complaining about how Ugg was mean to him or whatever.
- throwaway29812 4y agoIf you are going to say something like this: > Main thing I notice is the fear I sense in people whenever cops are nearby, and definitely the sense of this security state hovering over everyone You should know what that feels like, when it actually occurs. Similarly when someone rushes to declare their country has become "Nazi Germany", they ought to read a history book or two.
