Freedom?
The same freedom, that the banks give you? or the medicine cartels, or the weapon manufacturers?
Nobody is free today, to be honest it's more of a "their misery is my higher standard of living".
Kids die in China, to make all these tiny things for the wealthy people to use, African kids can't even find a proper pair of shoes, American kids are obese on sugar harvested by the poor in Brazil.
That's not freedom. That is the spoils of war.
The siege of the winners in WW2.
