RE: xoxos?????
"I'm not normal, I don't think within the mainstream, I don't believe what most Americans believe."
Therefore your ideas about "freedom" are not important to anyone outside the mainstream or in America.
All the talk about how great this country is revolves around the idea that as long as no one's ability to subjugate oneself to the glowing box in the living room or harmlessly rant on
the other glowing box is impeded everything is "great" enough to be left as is. Nothing will change in this country, nothing, ever. It is a system that works for those in power and their power, the power of the vocal minority
and the silent placated majority (there is great power in silently communicating satisfaction thereby implying that dissatisfactory opiates could lead to dire consequences for the elite), will never be usurped. The preferred controlling mechanisms have been chosen by the placated and will remain in place forever in one form or another, outside of any particular nationalism, until the end of time. Empires served by the willing, the placated and the ineffectual, are the empires of the future. God help them when the lights go out.
