There aren't nearly enough stars on the flag for that
I heard that the word “liberty” doesn’t have a universal meaning. The colonists saw Liberty as freedom from British, to do business as they wish with less regulation. The Chinese saw Liberty as a group effort to free themselves from the yoke of feudalism. Hot take, but I don’t like using the word “liberty” in political contexts because of how vastly the definition changes country by country. It’s an abstract ideal.
I don't like it because USAmericans think they're special because their constitution talks about liberty, as if every other country's constitution says ”yeah, tyranny for us please, liberty sucks”.
Just tell them the DPRK constitution says every citizen has equal rights 
I mean I’ll just leave the argument if a lib comes to a “liberty” for all point. I don’t doubt the DPRK says it in their constitution, but I also don’t doubt that Saudi Arabia and England and Ukraine probably also have empty platitudes about liberty. End of the day it doesn’t further any political agenda or talking points, it’s like saying “we aren’t treated fair, let’s change things!” Without expressing WHAT those things are that are unfair and HOW they would go about fixing society
DPRK constitution says every citizen has equal rights
For what it’s worth, the US constitution does not actually say this — even the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t go that far. That’s why US states can get away with depriving felons the right to vote — it never guaranteed that right.
nowdays when people spit liberty, most of the time is to be racist
And during Covid’s height, “Liberty” meant getting others sick and not being considerate by being vaccinated. I’m so sick of the word “liberty”. Just wait 15-30 years in your current country (or go to another country) to see the definition of the word change drastically and unrecognizably.
"Actually it's edgelord humor."
Yeah, you can be an 2016-style edgelord without being racist.
then go on complaining about george soros woke globalist agenda, that you can't tell innocent jokes anymore and how it was better in the good ol' days that u could say any racist slur and nobody would get offended by it
The worst part is that they don't even understand what edgelord comedy is.
The best example of edgelord comedy imo is a big chunk of "Stinkmaner Strikes Back" from the Boondocks, I laughed my ass off at the idea of someone being so racist that Satan himself sent them back to earth back just to be racist again... only to be defeated by being chill.
I say "a big chunk of" because in some sections I can't get the punchline to laugh at like the exorcism scene.
And when I say "2016-style edgelord without being racist" , I mean as long as the punchline can be understood as not being reactionary or bigoted even 2016-style shock humor up to and including ones that would uh... leave some of us speechless to say the least... would be fine in my books.
Though you should be careful or your meme becomes the next Moon Man.

Answer: Analyzing their comment.
The green represents freedom and the orange represents liberty
America neither has freedom nor liberty
Sure it does, OP just forgot a few words
Transcription
- Title: The US flag means:
- [picture of US flag]
- Red = Freedom of slavery
- Blue = Liberty to be homeless
- Yellow = Not interfering with other countries
True
It does, but only for those that are among the "core". With enough money you can pay your way out of almost any prison sentence. Meanwhile everyone else is subject to being man handled on the pavement for shoplifting potato chips.
So that means America neither has freedom nor liberty? Last I checked both are meant to be shared
Fascist symbol
I need to make a bot to post this any time fascism gets mentioned.
The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism (practiced by the US, UK, France, the Netherlands, etc): bourgeois parliamentarism.
British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially “becoming british colonialists.” They haven't changed, and their wealth is still propped up by surplus value theft from the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of low-paid global south proletarians.
This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.
yeah but bourgeois parliamentarism doesn't roll off the tongue and most people couldn't even spell it, much less understand what it means.
Freedom and liberty from what exactly lmao
free from empathy, liberty to hate
the white is just fat cells
