    but you see, they only allowed them to live longer so they could trample on their liberties longer! :very-intelligent:

      Honestly people today seem to be taking the "better to die free than live a slave" logic to some weird extreme lately. Like I get it, I'd rather live an awesome shorter life than a lame long life, but you got people openly wishing for nuclear holocaust rather than having to live in a world where Russia has slightly more geopolitical influence that may disrupt their treat flow.

      Personally, if I was offered one day of getting insanely drunk and nude in public and jacking off on everything I want to, followed by death, and a long healthy life with dignity, but where I was expected to NOT get drunk in public and jack off in front of strangers, I'd pick the latter, but apparently that makes me an insane brainwashed authoritarian or something.

        Look, I know I don't want to get drunk in public and jack off in public right now, but I might in the future. What's the point of living, if I don't have that choice?

        Now if you'll excuse me, I have to hose a bunch of semen off of my car.

      They only had literacy programs so people could read propaganda, and they only had lighting so they could read propaganda at night

        All my science textbooks in school, until I finally went to public school in 9th grade, stated the earth was < 10,000 years old and that evolution was a lie. History textbooks were usually a combination of Old Testament stories + extreme American Exceptionalism.
