Freedom is relative.

I'm grateful for what freedoms we do still have in the United States, but lament what freedoms have been lost. The American colonials hated even a small Stamp Tax of like 3% that the British tried to impose on them, so am I wrong to complain when the U.S. and state governments now take like half of my income!? So they can send billions to Ukraine and elsewhere an enrich the military-industrial-complex and the well-connected elites?

You are in Iran, I believe, and I truly hate what the U.S. government did to your country in 1953. And to so many countries around the world. Even what's happening in Ukraine now is due to a coup the U.S. instigated there in 2014, and it's proxy war using Ukrainian lives to fight Russia. 😞

I'm glad you're on Nostr, by the way, and I hope and pray your country can one day be freer than America is.
