I've been hearing worse and worse things about Colorado's local governments, and it's really upsetting, as I plan on moving there after Uni.. I've visited there 4 times and it's like a different planet compared to where I'm from.. People were super nice, super chill. I went to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs a few times, but stayed in Denver each time. I loved the people, vibe and environment - it seemed like my perfect "rat park".

But I keep hearing shit like this :\ Or Anti-fa shit in Colorado..

It's like, where were these people for the month total time I've spent in the state, in their cities?

Colorado police aren't really any worse than police in other places. I think that cops can generally do a good job and stuff like this can get highlighted. I've lived in CO for the past 8 years and love it. I would never move anywhere else other than another city in CO. People are chill, mountains, weather, etc. are awesome, can't think of another state that compares. I live in CO Springs, attend a university here, and honestly see nothing at all dealing with anti-fa or anything like that. Again, most people are are pretty cool and just trying to do what they do. I think the internet can magnify things like that, the influence of anti-fa or whatever it may be, but on the ground level things aren't like that. Cops suck in general though but they also have an extremely difficult job so things like this are bound to happen. What I will say is in Colorado Springs at least the city is growing rapidly and it doesn't seem like the police force is keeping up. It's probably extra stressful for cops around here. But yes cops do suck sometimes for sure.

One of the reasons the US is collapsing now is that Americans think that decay will be stopped by becoming Fascists and Communists.

Americans think the US will be improved by expanding wars, increasing the debt, and adding more tyranny when the reason the USA is crashing is because the US has wars, is in debt, and has a police state.

Americans say that they love freedom, but then they turn around and say they need the government to give them free Obamacare, build a wall, protect the US from Yemen, wiretap their phones, arrest people for feeding the homeless, stop farmers from plowing fields, force people to get rid of dogs, ban vaping, and torture suspects.

Every country has the government it deserves.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.
