Did you get past the headline? It's a question, and the article does look outside America. It goes through North Korea, China and Russia and says they're worse once you're inside, in every way that matters, and it covers all five Five Eyes countries, not just the US. Syria isn't in it. What it asks is what happens before you even get there, and none of those countries want five years of your social media or your family's details first. For an Onion article, iI went a bit overboard on the sources which i dont think is bad thing and if its an onion all the layers are peeled!
Fearmongering armchair activism. Go touch grass.
Brother chill. I didn't say anything about the article. I'm talking people who think the answer is yes. Did you write the article? Cause boy dyou got some energy for it.
Its a shitty click bait title but other then that its a decent piece.
Of course there is a bit click bait to it 😉 It's there to get attention like most articles do! But that being said, thanks for checking it out. Much appreciated.
