the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced
At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history
our local grocery store has a vending machine for pokemon cards and it goes opaque if you stand near it too long without touching it, and warns you that you have been idle too long
there are few things as cool as finding someone from another culture who makes food and asking them whats good, what do they like best, and what makes it stand out.
oh, see I was not sure where you were going with it! so you spent time with someone who became a voice for peace, so you learned to hate them. got it! :D
