Anti-everything

In the USA no one was forced to take a vaccin against (the spread of) covid-19. Although refusing to take it could cost you your job. It's amazing how many people don't realize that freedom has limits. And consequences: You're free to decide not to drink. But will die from thirst. You're free to not take an anti-covid-vaccin. But may contract the virus or infect your dear old nana. Do you really want to claim your freedom, even though it means constricting the freedom of your nana?

No wonder anti-vaxxers are usually called selfish.

Millions of people mistake 'freedom of speech' for 'freedom to spread lies'. Which happened en masse with news relating to covid-19.

Some of the anti-vax arguments were so far fetched and downright stupid that it made me wonder:

If there was a vaccin to protect against chemtrails and 5G radiation, would anti-vaxxers take it?

Unfortunately, peoples from all over the world are looking to their counterparts in the USA for guidance on how to be 'anti'. For example: The Netherlands is by far not as liberal and tolerant as it was just a few decades ago. Clamping down on the use of marihuana is just one of the examples. If it was up to our current government, The Netherlands would fill in an application form to become the USA's 52nd state.

Not really strange, considering the USA is faling back to the days when the old puritans had their say. And they were Dutch. And kicked out of Holland because of their extreme beliefs. After the Britons kicked them out.

America is against prostitution. Women should not have the freedom to ask money for sex. Unless the act is filmed of course. Leading to America having the pargest p0rn industry in the world. If you're under 21 you are not free to have a beer. But it is okay to get paid for sex. But only when the act is filmed. 

In no other country in the world is such a large portion of the population incarcerated. Yes, the land of the free statistically has the least number of free people.

'Cancel culture' is happening in het USA: Large groups of people want to ban books, want a government that tells people how to behave, how to dress, what to watch, et cetera. Strangely enough, these so called 'conservatives' claim to be against cancel culture. Which begs the question:

If you are against cancel culture, why do you want to cancel culture?



The USA being 'The land of the free' is a myth.

Don't take it from this foreigner, just listen to this one:
