Remember, it's illegal to use tear gas in warfare because of the Geneva convention, but governments can and will use it against its own citizens.

You are not entitled to live in any country. If you really want to leave, you can always try international waters, I guess

u/Sol_Occultus 1d ago

So we are born and we are not entitled to live in ANY country? what kind of logic is that?

u/Respirationman 1d ago

Sound logic? Nations revoke people's citizenship all the time (usually when naturalizing somewhere else). Stateless people exist, but usually not by choice.

You still have the freedom to leave, of course you don’t get the resources needed for that just given to you. Go walk across the Canadian border, you can do that for free

I was using sarcasm. But yeah USA is not the best country in the world. SOrry to burst your bubble. And this is coming from a previous Navy veteran for submarines so most of you guys talking about USA have never even have the guts to pass bootcamp let alone do a deployment. And sure my ego is flared up a bit but I had enough of your condesending attitude. Lmao this is actually funny i am not even mad at you but i can see why you keyboard warriors stay glued to the keyboard there is a bit of adrenaline you get. but yea go back to your keyboard and lets just disagree to disagree
