- layla5alive 6mo agoSeriously, and more than that, "by the people and for the people" are increasingly becoming hollow words contrasted with the reality of daily life. Corruption is increasingly rampant, and it's "rules for thee but not for me" everywhere you look (where thee are normal citizens, and me is corporations and government).

- kypro 6mo agoThey don't pride themselves on those values though. Claims of democracy, tolerance, freedom, and rule of law are selectively used as justifications for whatever crap Western governments want to do. If they actually believed in these things they would act differently.
- unsupp0rted 6mo agoThey're right to do that: they filled their country with criminals and gave them citizenship. The natural next step is to make them prisons.
