"The climate of self censorship that the First Amendment was meant to prevent"
Well you know what to do;
Why are you telling us about your countries problems, we can already see it's a shiteshow and a basketcase, and we have our own problems, no thanks to your country starting a war that is bringing financial pain to everyones lives whilst the deranged occupant of the Whitehouse and family pocket hundreds of millions off insider trading the oil futures market.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
What's the 2nd amendment for?
"a well-regulated militia is necessary for the security of a free state."
Don't whinge about your shiddy authoritarian government.
Go and throw him out, start a civil war or something if your constitution allows it.
Democrats V's Republicans - they're all corrupt anyway, broadcast it on tv, maybe we can place bets and go for the 'reds' or the 'blues' as we watch you destroy what's left of your country more, and we can cheer it on, just as you Americans would've done if it was some other country. It would be better watch than the crap you overcharge us for on Netflix.
Or just be quiet and be happy and love your stupid democracy clownshow, while I enjoy watching your warmongering blackmailed nation do its roller coaster ride thru the S bend.
Just think of it as forward progress.
You are going directly to your destination, the sewer where you belong, so be happy.
The sooner you get there the sooner the rest of the planet might get to exist in peace.
Why are you even complaining to Australians about America, when it really should be Australians along with the whole world that should quite rightfully be complaining about America.
