"A man who has nothing to lose, has nothing to fear."
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”. - Benjamin Franklin.
What does he mean by liberty exactly? I feel like we’re well past that
:Looks at Trump MAGA slow motion facist take over of the government:
Are we really over that liberty thing?
Is liberty referring to freedom? Liberation from what? What is freedom? The jan 6 people were mostly getting social media washed into their behaviour. Admittedly someone has to be open to it before they can be primed but each step is necessary to achieve this kind of mania. My point is how much are we truely freely thinking when we’re constantly having our attention pulled to events that have carefully curated narratives already prepared for our consumption.
Well you have the freedom to buy into whichever flavor of propaganda you prefer. I don’t think there are too many alternatives flavors of propaganda offered to Chinese or Russian citizens…
Join your local radical (in a cool way 😎) militia if you're actually worried.
Sort of. This is more like “A man who cares for nothing, has no reason to care.” These people have everything to lose they just don’t think it will happen to them personally
They want it to happen to the "other" groups to whom it's "supposed to happen"
