@Daojoan as an American, I agree. Like, the same people will usually say some perfectly normal thing is wrong because "the Bible says so".

@Daojoan Eh, they drive North over the border and try the same thing in Canada, including "pleading the fifth" when being arrested by the police.

@monsieuricon @Daojoan HAHAHAHA for real? One of my favorite related things they covered on Knowledge Fight was how American Shitbag Alex Jones was screaming about a Canadian pastor that was holding Covid-friendly services and AJ was up in arms because the Pastors 1st Amendment right was being violated. In Canada.

@damoncjones @Daojoan I may be relaying an apocryphal story, but I believe during the trucker protests in Ottawa there were some American truckers who ended up being arrested. I mean, they knew they were in a different country, but they where genuinely convinced that since they are US citizens, anyone dealing with them must follow US laws as well.

@Daojoan looool. Well since I already know how they are using it (wrong), remind them for me. 1st amendment means freedom from government intervention. It doesn’t mean freedom from consequences or these hands.

@monsieuricon @damoncjones @Daojoan Never mind that. There were Canadian "truckers" who were convinced they would get off because they "hadn't been read their Miranda rights".

@monsieuricon @Daojoan Though we do have the Right to Silence in Canada. It's just not named the same.
