Why are people so blind to there freedom's slowly being taken away?

Remembers way back in the day... We had SO MUCH FREEDOM! Now days look at our Government slowly becoming a Nazi or communists rule. by the way I see no difference in Communism and Nazi rule. Both are equally the same and actually Stalin killed more people than Hitler yet no one seems to care... Ironic but I am sure the jews would have you remember otherwise.

What's been taken away from you? Ow no we can't make asbestos snow angles while fingerprinting lead based paint anymore? We're amaricans and know positive freedom fairly well but how to free ourselves with negative freedoms is probably where this goes.

It's a series of small concessions. They make lots of logical arguments for why you should allow them to do one small thing or another. You make those concessions to improve your life without ever really thinking about it, until you wake up one day and realize that you can't do things you used to be able to.

It's the frog in the pan of warm water. Wait until the government takes complete contro. over the Internet.

Bingo!

People lost their lives for our freedom, and we're just pissing it away. Our borders are open for the terrorists, and that's OK. If you go to a school board meeting and speak out about porn being taught to children, you will find yourself on the domestic terrorist lists.

Most people are too stupid to see what's happening. The first thing the commies do, is take over education. If you don't like it, you're an enemy of the state.

Freedom? Like what? Here are some freedoms people in other countries have that the US does not:

Reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy for women
Freedom from medical bankruptcies
Freedom from college tuition debt
Freedom from mass shootings

also my impression was that germany was kinda glad to elect hitler as he did improve the quality of life after the devastation of wwi. stalin’s election was a farce. dont worry, i’m jewish and i’ve done my research on dictators so it’s cool

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Don't come across people who have did their research.

[bededazzle]

lol but you really feel like your freedom is disappearing?

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Oh yes, it's ever a slow and slower process because more people don't really see it. You notice more and more how the government is being intrusive on your life and dictating what you can do?

[bededazzle]

with surveillance stuff yeah, i actually think it’s more visible now. the government used to do a lot of fucked up stuff in secret, but it’s harder for them to have secrets. I don't know though

[bededazzle]

like have wars in secret
