I'm fucking thankful everyday that I wasn't born in the dystopian countries

I feel bad for the people who live in them (excluding the ones who knowingly & willingly make those countries a dystopia)

    Our countries are also dystopian. It's just not in the "I'm deprived of legal rights" sense, yet

    Where do you live? I live in the US where people are deprived of rights to bodily autonomy, gender affirming health care, and regularly brutalized or murdered by the state. In most western states, not deprived of legal rights might say more about you than the state
