That first paragraph was like a punch in the face. Makes me realize how inconsequential my first-world problems are.

- choros12 15y agoI know I will be down-voted for this, but I just have to say it: US is a nation of slaves. People are slaves to their banks. They have to work just to have roof over their heads and medical care. I used to live in Poland, Germany and the US. I'm citizen of all those 3 countries. In places like Poland people are just free. You can even sense it from the way they act in Poland. They don't really give a damn about their jobs, this or that. They know they are covered. Most people in Poland own their apartments/houses. I mean they own it. Not the banks. It's not like you have to work. It is an option. Americans and the other hand are just so intensely focused on their jobs even when it is picking up garbage. But hey, they have little choice, don't they? They need to bring their paycheck to the bank every month, just not to be thrown outside the boat without the life jacket. The most perverted thing about this phenomenon though is that, Americans think they are free. They don't even see how enslaved by the system they are. Don't understand me wrong. I love the USA. It is my country. But it is just simply staggering when you think about the cognitive distortions Americans have when they look at themselves. Born in debt, die in debt. That's feudal peasants AND NOT free people.
