Btw I see a lot of folks here always taking shots at the USA and it looks like there is a fairly large international audience in this “Hacker News” group.

But as someone who has somewhat extensively studied American history and government back in the day.

(I’ve read the Constitution, Federalist Papers, works by Thomas Paine, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin, many of the majority opinions in many landmark Supreme Court cases, etc etc)

And there is actually a significant amount of misinformation and paranoia about America and the American government.

Now some of it regarding foreign policy is rightly justified given the actions by the CIA or military.

But on domestic policy, there is some misinformation every once in a while by someone’s comments.

Now while I usually prefer to talk about math and engineering stuff,

I feel most folks here already know that stuff and usually someone usually replies with the correction on Math or engineering issues/topics.

So I’ll limit most of my comments to perhaps pointing out what in my opinion are half-truths or falsehoods on American domestic policy or legal issues based on the limited knowledge I have on whatever is being discussed.

Ok no more rants from me for a long while. Apologies!
