    Rooftops are generally a good place to speek freely, even in an oppressive country.

    Try speaking about US atrocities at work. If you lose your job, you’re not free.

        Working at the dmv and talking about how incompetent bureaucracy are isn’t the kind of talking we’re talking about

        Go work for a railroad and try to organize a general strike and tell me how safe you feel

          I don’t feel like I’d be arrested or put to death if that’s what your asking?

            people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as “actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn’t have done it!” without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn’t do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father’s dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day

            never try idealism kids, it turns you into this
