AITA: I didn’t partake in the 4th festivities because I woke the hell up this year. All the lies and propaganda I just accepted then this year I left my comfort zone. And shocker I learned a thing or two. I no longer think the US is the greatest.

I think you’re compelled to your own opinion and you do whatever you’re comfy with!! Don’t let others make you feel bad for something you don’t personally agree to, but do be sure to have the same respect (I do hope that didn’t come off as rude, I meant it with all the love in my heart and farts in my butt)

clean water, food, clean streets for the most part paid labor, some form of health care (even if it isn’t great that’s better than some places) very rarely in an active warzone, access to some sort of paid work for the majority of the population, although it’s a work in progress women’s rights in America are far better than in some countries

There is some serious shit going on here right now and I’m not denying it, it’s awful. It’s just important to remember that we definitely do still have something to “celebrate”

Clean food and water are basic human rights that you pay for in the US. Paid labor for some not for all and it’s not fair wages. Healthcare is a joke, overpriced & run by insurance (when it’s a human right to have it affordable or free). Anddd even though it’s not “an active war zone” that’s because the US takes their wars offshore and bombs people with our taxes.

And it’s not just some serious shit. It’s a lot of serious shit. It’s a country built on the backs of slaves where blood is the price paid. But the brainwashing tactics are 100% on top of convincing it’s stupid citizens that they live in the “best” country

we’re not getting paid 25c an hour some countries don’t even HAVE health care and i am fully aware that there’s serious shit going on, i said that. i’m saying i like to celebrate some of the positives instead of living life constantly hating everything around you it’s insanely shitty, but we still do have it better than some
