Sounds quite sheepish.

Freedom isnt received. It is always taken. Freedom is a function of your courage both individually and as a collective.

If you ask others to grant you freedom you have already given it up.

The main reason for the situation in the USA is not the radicalism and degeneracy of the left or the arrogance of a couple of social media billionaires. It is the cowardice and complacency of the right.

The run on the Capitol was more than justified. These people are heros because they took the risk and now pay the price. It was a last act of desperation, the Reichstags fire of 2021 that provoked the witch hunt on political opponents to start much sooner than anticipated. Now, all checks and balances of the US Democracy are gone and the fascism of the Democrat and the media church will go into overdrive.

Most people still hope that things wont get that bad. Just like the most German Jews did in 1933.

You are a fool. People like you promised us that Obama was going to bring us tyranny as well. If having my pre-existing medical conditions covered is tyranny, give me more tyranny. Fucking nut case.

Bro Bush started the tyranny party and Obama brought girls and drinks. He expanded the surveillance state, didn't close Guantanamo Bay, didn't repeal the PATRIOT Act or give back the many civil liberties that Bush took away (warrantless wiretapping and home arrest without a warrant to name a few), was at war every day of his presidency and with 7 different countries. The health care thing was just throwing crumbs to the hungry serfs to keep them squabbling amongst themselves.

By all means, do what you want to do. That said, the human you are replying to cannot be reasoned with, likely lacks critical thinking skills and suffers from low self esteem. The human has only offered insults, straw men and ad hominem tactics. The human you replied to is a "right fighter", a person who argues to feel superior, not a person who has conversation to uncover accuracy.

Again, it's up to you, but I recommend you spend your energy on thoughtful people instead.

Love the quote, great post, thank you sharing it.
