This is the type of legal subjugation of the American people that goes unpunished, Idk if this makes me sound like a PatSoc or not, but on God, anyone that sees themselves as patriots or proud of where they come from (I’m not personally) should have their piss brought to a boil by hearing this. Conservatives talk about competition in the market as if WE are being given a benefit of choice. Well, here in the US, companies “compete” all they want, they don’t lower insurance premiums, healthcare costs, or fucking anything. We just get drained and drained until someone does something horrific and fucked up and we talk about “mental health” for 2 weeks (not offering up any material condition changes or allowing more people to get in touch w social workers for free/very cheap) and when enough people forget, we act like nothing happened. The American populace is highly numbed to seeing or hearing about domestic terrorism unless it fits a narrative of a Muslim or illegal immigrant. If it’s a school shooting like Uvalde or a public massacre like in Vegas, we send our prayers, put up a link to Mindset .com or some shit to talk about “wellness”
