Is freedom actually dying before our eyes?

I don’t want to sound dramatic, but this is some serious dystopian **** were seeing. I haven’t had the vax and don’t particularly want it, but I probably would have caved and got it long ago if not for the way they keep using it as a threat. RIP the free world as we knew it.

I dunno if I'd say it's dying but what I would say is they have tightened the definition of freedom to only include what the elite say is good for you.

Yeah

we got billionaires buffering riots from legal consequence and controlling the media, funding specific candidates, and pushing through non-popular policies while simultaneously some how buying off activist judges.

Its not good man. Everything has been corrupted.

100%.

I keep repeating the same post but I cannot fking believe this is happening. I’m reading the headlines and wondering if I’m even in America anymore. I can’t even come up with words to express how big of a deal this is.

I’m so fking scared for the future. I guess I always felt it would happen, but not this soon or with this much disregard for our rights as citizens. What’s next? Landlords mandates to require proof of vaccination to rent their property? Banks mandated to require proof of vaccination to let someone withdraw money? Full on Kristallnacht?

And the answer to that is VERY easily.

They have de-toothed the populace, all that's left to oppose is a few people moaning online.

It's over boyos.

We all knew this coming. Misc has been predicting it from April 2020. You really shouldn't be shocked. Mad, yes, but shocked no.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Extremely dystopian.
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Sweden just announce they are removing all forms of restrictions from the end of this month ( they barely even have any restrictions compared to other countries)

JFL. Glad Norway decided to follow Sweden instead before it was too late

Also, bringing up green squares hurts your case. You can't neg again so all you've got is the strength of your argument and we both know you're too dumb to come up with one, LOL.

Freedom is already dead and we are essentially living under a one world government. Governments, especially in the West are instructed by centralized institutions and think tanks that are funded by special interest groups and a handful of incredibly rich and powerful figures. These are the people that actually pull the strings. Lol @ muh democracy. It's only a matter of time until that power is openly centralized and a supreme leader (lol) is installed srs.

I remember hearing an interview early on where some expert or official said that the lockdowns worked "way better than we thought", meaning that people were more compliant than they had forecast.

Stages of grief. I think this is called shock/denial. You can move back and forth, even jump around.

It's been almost 20 years, so maybe. I was definitely not expecting this total war "your freedom or your livelihood" push vs. a slow creep of government power.

I may not be able to stop someone from assaulting me, but I'm damn sure not going to just "lie back and think of England".

I had a recurring nightmare as a child that there was a volcano rising up on our street. Instead of leaving and trying to get away the adults put coffins on the sides of the volcano so that when it erupted they could climb in and be buried by the lava. I tried to reason with them, but no one would listen.

I may have always been a little bit different.
