    I do love me some femboys (and twinks) but sure as fuck not enough to become a slave to the country I was born in because of arbitrary lines that deem “you belong to here” because “your parents fucked here” and thus “you should feel an equally-arbitrary sense of pride and drive to become one of many brainwashed individuals who we supply with weapons and ammunition to send to places and do our bidding”.

    Or more simply, “I’ll happily suck cock, just not the government’s”.

      I think in most places people have some positive feelings towards things like ancestors and traditions. In the US we’re told to be an individual above all and that the highest pursuit is personal gain. I think it’s that stuff that’s the issue.

      It’s really that philosophy that fucks people up. I look fondly to tons of American ancestors. But, I’m thinking of rock n roll stars, rappers, and counter-culture icons that made America the socially liberal haven it sort of became/is.

      I mean, I can smoke weed on my porch listening to NWA and that’s kinda sick, I gotta admit

        America is an experiment in extreme individualism. Others learn of the results and make something different. Or more likely now have some collective memory to avoid that particular pothole and end up stumbling into some other arrangement cobbled together by conflicting groups.
