One of my favorite brands of silliness.

‘‘Free thinkers’’ love to think of themselves as ‘‘enlightened’’, as brilliant individuals whom have ‘‘cracked the code’’, broke the binary, went beyond the pale of ‘‘good and evil’’, rose above the filth of material reality, of left and right in political terms.

There are none more sheepishly led by the nose than those that think they’re free, paraphrasing from Goethe, and deliberately utilizing the word ‘‘sheep’’ in there. Because these are the clowns that always call people ‘‘sheep’’ while, as comrades have pointed out, bleating state department talking points. They think they’re freed from material reality, ‘‘free spirits’’ roaming aimlessly, ‘‘sovereign citizens’’ in defiance of state decrees. The amount of irony in their existence is what I find most entertaining, and why I love seeing their ass takes on YT comment sections.

I think they’re more sane. There’s no open-carry, they do background checks, if you are deemed mentally unwell, then can’t carry, and stuff like that. You know, just the basic stuff you see everywhere.

*Edit: Thought I should add that our Wal-Marts don’t sell ammo or guns out in the open, not sure if it’s like that in every Wal-Mart over there, but not here. You gotta go to a certified armory with your ID and permit. Of course, there’s an underground market, and some folks go that route. But in mainstream society over here, guns are looked at very much like some libs would, they find them scary, unnecessary and dangerous. We do have gun violence, though, but nothing like school shootings, thank fuck.

Not even in PR, a satellite of the empire which by all practical accounts consumes the same ideological brainrot the US produces, does this shit happen.

*Edit: To echo some other replies, we had fire and earthquake drills, and also for tsunamis.
