does it not bother you how hollow and easily debunked your talking points are? you claim that america's rejection of science is somehow indicative of your love of "freedom from government", yet on the other hand you have some of the most comprehensive laws to surveil and restrict individual freedoms and private affairs in western culture. you have a police force that brutalises and violates you without much accountability, you have the largest prison population in the history of mankind, you have corporations that own your politicians and pay them to prevent any legislation that would protect citizens against exploitation. your alleged "freedoms" are a myth. you get guns as a distraction, cultural wars to keep your attention away from the oppression you suffer, you're made to hate and fight your fellow citizen over bullshit superficial distinctions, and you're too ignorant to realise that. meanwhile your children keep dying because you were successfully brainwashed with jingoism, bigotry, and religious zealotry.

right wing covidiots rejecting science is not a sign of "freedom", but one of morons choosing partisan political narratives over common sense. if anything it's a demonstration of how easily americans are manipulated into hurting themselves and each other if just ONE person decides it's politically expedient. "freedom", lol...

That's where you come in. To simply discard an opinion given you ignore it. To respond to it is accepting the opinion.

So you are further making yourself look stupid.

If you can't handle opinions, stay off the internet snowflake.

I'm really not sure what you're talking about. Shutting down economies, schools, locking people inside for weeks on end was a catastrophic mistake. Surely you're not still pretending that zero-covid worked?

And now I really have no idea what you're talking about. Free speech is far stronger in the United States than in Europe. The state is farless intrusive. The picture you have in your head is just not reflective of reality. And of course the United States has a large police force, because the United States has a lot of crime! The answer to crime is never to not prosecute and hope it goes away.

i'm talking about human and individual freedoms, actual freedom from government (for example not have it stick its nose in your reproductive rights) - not just the "freedom" to make racist comments and death threats on social media:

defending your for profit prisons filled with non-violent low level offenders, your racially motivated war on drugs that lead to a record prison population, as merely "prosecuting crime" is another one of those brain-dead talking points that crumbles once you take a second look at it. again, you have one of the most tyrannical and oppressive governments in the west, and your guns didn't do jack shit to prevent that. you're deluding yourself.
