I was listening to CNBC and CNN on XM last night and good fucking grief Americans love the smell of their own shit. So many “we are the shining light of the world, the best democracy, what will the world do now?”

A lot of us will just keep living our free lives, you fucking assholes*.

(Them, not you, dear reader.)

@tewha as a non-american, if I had to decide on a "shining light of the world" or the "best democracy" I'd point at New Zealand or somewhere Scandinavian

it's been like this as long as I remember

@fluffy @tewha now that you mention it, I can't think of any countries with true freedom of speech at all.

@izaya @tewha hm, i guess the usa has had some reform about that in the last decade or so.

times sure have changed. you get more freedom from places with loose policing these days than with protected speech.
