Freedom. Who needs it?
Freedom. Who needs it?
Obviously not most people in the western world. They keep demanding less freedom, and they support the punishment of freedom, and taking freedom away.
Why?
Because they feel safer if there’s less freedom. The media and the governments hype up fears about terrorism and other criminal activities, and encourage people to believe that freedom comes at the price of… well, freedom.
It blows my mind that people can so naively believe that they will be free when they have no freedom. But there’s one serious flaw in their desires to limit freedom.
The only people it affects are law-abiding citizens. Terrorists and criminals operate outside the law. They always have, and they always will. So how will imposing greater restrictions on the general populace help prevent criminals from doing what they do?
It won’t. It simply puts greater control of the masses into the hands of the corrupt few – namely the governments.
The criminals and terrorists will ignore the laws, just like they always have.
So when you think that imposing increased security and restrictions on yourself will make you safer, think again. It just makes you a prisoner to the society you’ve created for yourself.
