American Reacts to 3 🇺🇸 Myths We Don't Believe Anymore After Living in Europe

May 3, 2025
As a an american, you might think you are free because you can own guns. As a European I would say, that we are more free (and safe), because we don't need them.
When it comes to freedom, I follow Jean-Jacques Rousseau's view
“True freedom is not the ability to do what one wants, but the power to refuse what one does not want.”
