One of my favorite freedoms is getting to choose which boss to work for and which landlord to pay rent to! It feels so nice to support each other and know we’re all in this together - my boss supports me through my paycheck and in turn I use a portion of that to help support my landlord! It’s important to recognize that we’re all in this together, regardless of silly distinctions like whether you’re rich or poor, boss or worker, landlord or tenant, a corporation or a human, etc, we’re all united as Americans, against all the foreigners who hate us for how free we are.
That of course brings me to my favorite freedom - the freedom to support the military, to spread managed democracy around the world. I have to give a special shout-out this Loyalty Day to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and to all the other defense contractors that help promote our government’s interests (identical to our own, of course) instead of wasting the money on useless government bloat (healthcare, education, etc)!
Obviously, the freedom to support the military is the most important freedom, but there are many other freedoms we enjoy! Let’s hear some!
my favorite freedom is the right to protes-
oh! oh i see. I mean um… cable! :)
Wait a second, this isn’t lemmy.world!
You’re thinking of that-a-way.
Points to the wall.
Cocks gun.
I love the freedom that I get to pick my healthcare plan from the short list of plans my employer decided made sense for their bottom line.
I love the freedom of being able to
for my favorite cardboard cutout politicians. The other guys are bigger poopy faces, but they can’t hurt me because this is America, hell yeah! And it’s ok if the good guys don’t listen to their constituencies, we can all vote again later and uh… I’m sure someone will listen. Eventually. Maybe.
I know which privilege I like: the one to not starve (can be revoked at any time).
I love it when i do free speech and assembly and get obliterated by an orbital tear gas strike
My favourite is the freedom to be treated like a tool and an expense, while being expected to be thankful for such treatment and for being given the opportunity to be used.
my favorite freedom is having to drink out of a brown paper bag in public while pretending like literally everyone doesn’t know what’s up but if I don’t I get the cops after me
You know, I’d sometimes seen the brown bag thing in movies or whatever, but I honestly didn’t realize until this very moment that it’s a drinking in public thing. I feel a bit silly for just thinking it was some sort of completely unexplainable American thing in the same way as, like, Ontarian bagged milk.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Mine is being able to pay $1800 a month for something called The Affordable Care Act because I’m unemployed and poor. I’m told in some country they don’t have the luxury of paying that much.
