I cannot believe how horrible that would be. Also you should notice that countries that do it the other way around are mostly not democratic countries. It also has historical reasons why we do that. Powerful people could just put anyone in prison they want to

    Hey Anthony and everyone else, the man that mentioned the book gave out a link to a scam. There is no free book involved, you have to pay money for it, which usually isn't a big deal, but I decided not to buy it. I closed the page and went on my day. That was last week. Today I got charged for the book that I didn't purchase and I'll be talking to my bank to get my money back. My boyfriend has been looking into it and he's found reviews over the site and everything saying that they're scamming money from people. Don't fall for it like I did. I thought I could trust it because he's an ex- CIA agent, but I guess not

    The tone that guy used when describing foreign agents in America was off-putting. Like yeah it's no secret that there are foreign agents all over the world, but the way he said "the Chinese," "the Russians," "Cuban women"...idk just felt like he was almost generalizing the people from those places versus the spies themselves, almost insinuating that folks from those places can't be trusted.

      As far as ppl who had abortions idk.

    I love how Anthony has handled the not great situation with the socialism stopper guy, from kinda calling him out on the comment about Cuban women to liking and responding to comments about how the shirt makes people uncomfortable and how this can be taken as very pro CIA, very glad that he's actually responded to stuff instead of just pretending like it didn't happen like a lot of creators I've seen seem to do in this kind of situation

    I have a really hard time trying not look suspicious when answering questions from basically any authority figure. It certainly doesn't help that I'm on the autism spectrum. I had a police officer come to my door a few years ago saying that there was a window smashed across the street, and if I'd heard anything, and I instantly started thinking "okay I need to not look suspicious here". Cue over exaggerated movements and expressions, and then because of that I felt so awkward that I began grinning, while still trying to hold the grin back. She gave me the biggest greezies I've ever seen in my whole life. I was panicking for the whole week that she'd come back and ask more questions.
