I'm not in the US, no, but am intimately familiar with most of the terms, themes and national level events as I've been following and debating thoroughly for half my so far 40 years lol, so you don't have to worry about me not getting it ๐
That's not what I mean, I know you will get it. But US politics has a lot of misinformation going on, mixing up terms the US uses for certain things can make the misinformation thrive. In US terms, you sound like a liberal. You don't want a nanny state, you want a government owned by the people.
Ah ok, sorry about that. I get a lot of people assuming that, so I was the one making an ass out of you and me this time ๐
As for the rest, I think I'm just going to leave it be since I've described the broad strokes pretty accurately already and it's semi-late here so I'm gonna go catch some Zs if I can. Sleep tight yourself when you get that far!
Thanks for explaining, I think I understand how I feel about things better now too.
You're very welcome and I'm very happy if you do!
Unless you understand better that you love Ayn Rand now, of course ๐๐
I will never understand that version of what you're talking about. They should just buy out some land and build their own town, but watch out for bears.
That town would be built and maintained by literal slaves.. Slaves that they would probably feed to said bears if they complained.
