Holy fucking thread shitting...
Just wanted to discuss how the "War on Terror" has allowed the government to take away freedoms and rights we've enjoyed since the United States was founded. The jingoistic beat was that "terrorists hate us for our freedoms", so what does the government do? they take away those very freedoms...
Assuming it was terrorists who attacked us on 9/11, they certainly achieved their goal of disrupting our country, changing who we fundamentally are, and generating a lot of support for the anti-American crusade.
