Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

  Free speech is vanishing in the US, and it is being done in the form of “advertising”. You can’t say death, murder, or suicide in videos and a lot of forums … it makes advertisers sad, so you need to use baby-style code words. Remember when you were a kid and had to say “fudge” instead of saying “fuck”? Same thing.

  Theoretically, but in practice no.

  Free speech is when AIPAC channels unlimited dark money to influencers to disparage anti-zionist candidates like they did in Kat Abu’s race. Free is quickly becoming worthless.

  This does not sound plausible.
