Freedom is an illusion which never really existed in the first place. It's always been "freedom" with an asterisk. The best we've ever been able to say is that we're relatively more "free" than a dictatorship, which isn't saying much, but at least we can say it.
quote:
You cant be Muslim, because if you are, you are a terrorist.
You cant be poor, because you are a parasite on society.
You cant disagree with the GOP or you are a socialist and communist.
You cant be Republican because you dont give a shit bout anyone but the rich.
You cant be born in this country if one or both of your parents werent because you are an illegal.
You cant be a graduate from an Ivy league university, because you are an elitist.
You cant be a minority, because you want special privileges because of past oppression and or injustices.
You cant be atheists, because you dont believe in god.
You cant be wealthy, because you made your money exploiting the poor.
You cant be part of the LGBT community because it is unnatural.
Well shit, nobody can be free here. Last one to leave turn out the fucking lights.
All of these examples indicate that we'll never be free of politics. For example, people are free to be wealthy in America, but likewise, people are equally free to criticize them and say that they're exploiting the poor. Similarly, the wealthy are free to criticize the poor as being "parasites." In fact, if people couldn't say these things about the groups listed above, we'd be less free than we are already. If your point is that people shouldn't be allowed to say these things, then what does that say about "freedom"?
