    Well, we’re all afraid of your government, and we don’t even live there.

    I’m from the states and I’m always a little afraid they will find some strange reason and then put me in jail.

    Like, in 2005 you downloaded a movie… jail!

    Or

    You made a mistake on your taxes 4 years ago… jail!

    Don’t give the government any more information than you have to.

    Don’t stand out.

    Be smart about the laws you break.

    If you do all that and your fear of government is greater than the fear of a car accident, then you’re not being rational.

    It’s so cool that you say that! Most Americans just assume they are the default and don’t have to say where they are from.

    Well, are you a capitalist? Then no. If you aren’t, you definitely do. Here is the thing, we, workers, are stronger together.

      I don’t really care about the Capitalist-Socialist spectrum, I just want to live a normal happy life without tyrannical oppression. Capitalists are evil, and so far any Communist/Socialist societies have become totalitarian regimes and now ended up as Capitalist anyways, but even worse than your typical Capitalist country that still has democracy (China is a State-Capitalist country with no democracy, ironic, given how Communist they claim to be).
