    excluded from a lot of life if you didn’t.

    Take personal responsibility for your shitty choices and stop crying that there are consequences.

    You’re either a strong individual who makes controversial choices or a quivering coward who complains about the govt. Pick a fuckin lane lol

      No individual is more powerful than the state. That’s sort of the point of the state. Therefore, people who value freedom, like myself, are absolutely concerned with the decisions of the state and about the consequences of living a life out-of-line with the powers that be.

      To use a hyperbolic example (and I fully acknowledge that is is hyperbolic, but I want to demonstrate a point), you were free to denounce Stalin and go to the Gulag. Nobody sewed up your mouth and prevented you from doing so. As you would aptly say, there are consequences.
