I believe that sports are there only to control the masses. I believe that we are all slaves... I believe the U.S. Federal Government is illegal. I believe all sorts of things that no one agrees with. People seem to hate me for it and think there is something wrong with me... Am I delusional? Am I just seeing the world as a darker and scarier place then what it is? What if I'm wrong about everything? Am I wasting my life on this? Am I actually free? And if I am right, then is everything hopeless? Should I have just stayed ignorant. If I had listened to the authorities, they wouldn't have persecuted me this way. They never had a right. Just because they were illegitimate I despised them, and so I am eternally punished them. They deliberately tried to break me because I could see through them... Some people are just knowing the truth. We are called anti-authoritarians... We are persecuted, drugged, and locked away. Even when we are still children. But sometimes I wonder if I am right, or am I raging against a machine that isn't there... I need some clarity before this destroys my mind. I mean worse than what it is. I have begun to fear that there will soon be purges...
one thing about america is we are all free to have our own idea, thoughts and believe in our own beliefs American is a free country where you and everyone else can believe what ever they want to believe. that includes political views religious views and yes military views too..

so to answer your questions.

if you are here in america and believe this no you would not be wrong...

and neither would those who believe differently / the complete opposite than you do.

there is no right or wrong with personal beliefs no matter what the belief is
here in america.

now if you for example held a belief and used that belief to harm other americans its what you have done not the belief that is wrong..

for example you can have your belief but you cant go out and kill off the president because murdering/assassinating the president is wrong here in america. the belief isnt but the action of murder is.
