Freedom means you choose the government you want. Colonialism is when that government is imposed upon you.

It's sad, sad, sad.

Sad, and inaccurate bullshit, but yeah, still sad.

No liberal or conservative takes a guilty pleasure in hearing about humanity's violent failure. Anybody who says otherwise is a fucking idiot.
