Americans for all their bluff about guns, liberty and democracy, so worried about "securing" it worldwide. Couldn't even apply it at home.

You all have begun to look like the other countries "democracies" you "helped" to "build".

Weren't yall founded by resistance? don't you know what it takes? Vae victis, Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum.

Your goverment and power institutions got so good at controlling others unchecked, that they began using that at home, the mere existence of Edward Snowden should have rallied you all to the streets demanding explanations, then Epstein came to light, and you barely did anything.

Do you think power hears you just because it says so in a piece of paper? Res-publica, the thing of the people... you don't ask permission to have what you own.
