American's idea of "freedom" is being told how and when to mow their lawn by the resident neighbourhood Karen(s), but me having socialized healthcare and being able to grow whatever the fucking fuck I want (that's not an illegal substance) in my garden is somehow not free? Like yeah I'm not allowed to claim that refugees steal everything that isn't nailed down because 1.) That's just a horrible af thing to say about any group of people, and 2.) Patently UNTRUE anyway. Or something even worse, like saying that the nazis were right. Of course you're not allowed to say that, why would you even THINK THAT in the first place?

HOAs sound awful, how do people deal with strangers telling them what color to paint their house and shit I would start throwing rocks

#i mean #the house that I live in is actually rented so there ARE some rules as to what we can and cannot grow #BUT. (and this is the major one) it's only about not growing trees because their strong roots could upset something #or not growing bushes too high because you could steal sunlight from your neighbour #and that's just shitty af behaviour #but other than that #our neighbours on one side have their entire garden practically plastered #and the ones on the other side have a mini english lawn with nice flowers #our garden is just a chaotic jungle of roses; dwarf bamboo; wisteria; wild garlic; forget-me-not and lilacs #and some other random stuff that just grows here #anyway #the only way to get homeless here (by way of HOA like rules; aka the HAUSORDNUNG) is when you don't pay your rent #OR do shit that's endangering your neighbours #or something like that #generally people don't do that
