Imagine legally forcing everyone's house to look the same. Seriously lawn laws in are so bonkers yet nobody bat's an eye at them.

True Freedom™ is when the government forces every single person to have identical, ugly-ass front lawns for completely arbitrary aesthetic reasons, clearly /s

It honestly amazes me how Americans warship freedom while they don't use it at all and shame people for being free

I honestly think many people don't really know what freedom means. They think it's a one-way street that means they can get whatever they want, but they never consider that freedom means other people can do what they want, too.

I can't find it right now, but this reminds me of a tweet that said something like, "Americans think freedom means the ability to choose from between 8 different types of salad dressing instead of like, the ability to leave your job without losing your healthcare."
