Afroman: American patriot

The more important framing is this: A country cannot use the force of the state to silence you after it has attempted to humiliate you and damaged your property.... A country doesn’t become free just because a law says it should be. A country is free when the citizen mocks the state actors who harmed him and the system defends his right to do it.... Genuinely free people have the right to tell power where to go.

That’s what it means to live in a free nation. Or as Afroman told reporters after the victory: “I didn’t win, America won.”
