Is the patriot act still in force?

...

Then I have some bad news.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It isn't, actually.

(It got replaced by a worse act with less recognition)

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

They did it. Slowclap

"I'm free, and I love cops." There's nothing more American than the juxtaposition of these two concepts.

There’s nothing more American than the juxtaposition of these two concepts.

I would say telling the world they are not free while invading them is even more American.

This meme is 10 years old. There are younger people on lemmy.

Honestly, if a 9 year old was using Lemmy instead of TikTok or something, they're probably more intelligent

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I would be impressed

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

My thoughts as well.

Oh no, how awful, an old thing on the internet!

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I don't think they are saying it's bad. I think they just wanted an excuse to make me feel old.

That O.G. iPhone message UI is better than carbon dating.

Do you talk to those people? How many DMs a day are you sending them?

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It saddens me how many people like this we have here.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People with a sense of humor?

[–] Donttaintmebro@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

People named Jace

[–] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dont understand. Is there something wrong with being free?

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not at all, but the people who do this outsized patriotism are often the same ones that storm capitols, threaten "immigrants" some of whom are 2nd or 3rd generation Americans, and are on-board with banning books.

Ah so you're just generalizing. Got it
