Independence of any level is discouraged in the surveillance society we've built.
Yeah. The problem isn't that everybody is turning into wimps.
The problem is that a critical mass of people are turning into paranoid busybody boot licking narcs.
Yeah. I fucking hate it. I have serious issues with authority and it seems like there’s more and more restrictions every fucking day.

O' the land of the free
Cannot even smoke weed
Bro by that age I was driving 4 wheelers through uncharted woods. People need to chill
Swede here, the day before I started school my mom and I walked the route she wanted me to go to get to school.
This route lead across a railroad crossing and several road crossings.
I was 6.
At 10 we were allowed to bike to and from the school.
Land of the free
Highest prison rate outside of russia, still calls itself free.
My kid took the bus to the other side of town by herself when she was 9.

Things have gone too far. Fuck Cops and fuck Karen too.
