“Our government users statements of “justice for American citizens,” but justice is never shown. The two amendments below are the first and fourth amendment. They’re being torn due to how consistently the government violates them. Above the pupil of an eye is being split, a crumbling surveillance on the left, and growing domestic surveillance on the right. The left represents a proper location to show high surveillance while the right side shows a government agent silencing somebody for an opinion not similar to theirs, which is just “domestic government surveillance”. Regardless what side you’re on, you’re still being watched at all times.”
