This kind of thing makes the news because it's rare. Drawing conclusions about the amount of freedom experienced by everyday Americans from your news reports is like doing the same for airplane safety: you'll come to the conclusion that the aberrations are the norm.

Where I'm at, the city doesn't even care if you put up a fence blocking sight triangles at an intersection, much less what you do with your property that they can't see.

It makes the news because of the state’s (or any public institution’s) obsession with undermining and reinterpreting our rights for their benefit

The obsession with reminding us how flawed and comedic our checks and balances are, how little accountability there is. how “but at least you can talk about it” will be used to invalidate the issue by people indoctrinated by our compromisestitution

Literally on an article documenting the state being checked. A corollary to those who choose security over freedom deserving neither is those who choose nihilism over truth and activism are choosing a weak form of mental security.
