    It’s really infuriating how absolutely pants on head fucking stupid these people are.

    Seriously… why do you dumb fucks give a shit what other people do amongst consenting adults? It’s supposed to be “a free country”, but these idiots keep curtailing freedoms while still claiming “freedom”.

    Fuck. Off.

      There was an article years ago that delved into the differences between the Northern version of freedom vs. the Southern kind. The problem as a country is that normal Americans keep talking about “freedom” and assuming everyone has the same definition of what freedom and liberty mean. I wish I could dig that article up; I used to share it all the time. Of course cons would try to act like these differences did not really exist, when they absolutely do.

      Essentially: the Southern kind of “freedom” is predominantly obsessed with the freedom to rule over property and not have anyone else tell you what you can do with your property. That property may include other humans.

      I suspect that’s why some people that keep lying about “whole cities burning down” under BLM are so worked up - they view property damage as something just as bad as, possibly worse than, the murder of a human being, especially if the human being is not considered a worthy victim.
