“The American Dream and the American way of life are quite frankly crazy town in the eyes of most of the rest of the world.”
America's suburbs and many of its cities are badly built. But we aren't nearly as nuts as the Germans or the British, who have gone batcrap crazy with lockdowns and vaccines. Look at our northern neighbor, Canada. In every province, they are shuttering businesses, arresting the healthy, and interning people in Covid hotels as their economy collapses. Even in psycho Illinois, we have maintained some semblance of free commerce and you can get your hair cut without yourself and the stylist being arrested. Not so much in Ontario. If it weren't for free states like South Dakota and Florida setting an example for freedom, I suspect that all of Europe would be following in lockstep with Canada's lunatic COVID rules. I think the US deserves some credit for its "American" response to COVID. The buzzword in my nearly 3000 member-and-rapidly-growing Facebook group Speakeasy Illinois is "patriot". The group promotes businesses and establishments that respect people's freedom. I don't see Europeans or Canadians starting social media movements designed to go around the stupid and the fearful. The American dream is deeply flawed, but I think we deserve some credit for being willing to go against the globalist-controlled sheeple, at least this time around.
