    We were freed from England. Slaves were freed from slavery. But, no, we were never freed from plutocracy. We’ve made attempts, though. There will always be someone trying to opress. There will always be a culture of servitude because in service of others power is concentrated.

    Although, America has continued to fight for its freedom. Sometimes winning. Sometimes losing. As a result Americans have experienced more freedom than those who came before.

      Americans have experienced more freedom than those who came before.

      How are Americans more free than the native people that were on the continent before Europeans arrived?

      Answer: They aren’t

          I said America was never free and you said

          Americans have experienced more freedom than those who came before.

          Why are your acting like you weren’t clearly disagreeing with me?

      Slavery in the British Empire ended a generation before slavery ended in the US.

      Sorry, but USA was founded on hypocrisy, pretty words about freedom and equality set down on paper by slave masters.

      Everyone else in the world knows you get freedom by voting for it in election after election. Only Americans believe that freedom is granted by deified slave masters.

        Sorry, was your argument the British empire is more free than America?

        Edit: also did you just call the gibberish that comes out my mouth flowery?

        Seek help.
