    Most prosperous and free country. Which will come to the surpise of the slaves and indigenous population. Or whatever that cunk on earth quote is.

      “With its cowboys and guns and steam train rides, America became known as the land of the free, which must have come as a surprise to all the slaves.”

      Shortly followed by this banger: “The North asked the South what kind of America it wanted to live in: one where white people leeched off other races while treating them as inferior, or one where they pretended they didn’t.”

        Governnents and the powerfull, they want slavery. They need constant pressure to not give into their instincts.Sadly, making all those that genuinely wanted freedom fight and tricked into thinking the fight was over, suckers. Slavery still exists, in fact its as bad as ever was, just not with its usual symptoms.

      Well, :australiaburning: so there’s a good chance they don’t care much about indigenous people.

      I do like being able to say any dumbass shit without getting libeled though.

      prosperous and free for the white labor aristocrat and petit bourgeois and haute bourgeois suburbanites and McMansion enjoyers working desk jobs at MIC corporations, that’s all that matters. Everyone else is invisible to them.
