Jag åker med i min kompis nya Volvo. När hen backar ut så filmas bilen ovanfrån. Hen har jobbat på Volvo och förklarar att det är Google som med sattelit ser i realtid när hen backar bilen. Den kan "se" in på cm.
Jag tänker: vad faan?! Så Google vet vart du är i cm med din bil?
Igår talade en bekant om sina in-ear hörlurar. Om hur dom mäter hens puls.
Jag tänker: va? Så de reggar hur du reagerar på tex vad som sägs i ett poddavsnitt?Bekvämlighet är inte frihet.

"Freedom of thought is the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship."

"The Silent Majority" is a ruse that some politicians have created to create the perception that they have more public support than they actually do.
"You didn't get enough votes in the preliminary polls. How are you going to win the election?"
"Oh, I have the support of the majority. They're just... silent. They like to suffer in silence, and so they don't show up in polls. They are my base though. They are the strong, silent, hard-working people who registered to vote and will vote for me in the election."
This is a lie! In a Democracy, people are empowered to either vote, or abstain from voting, intentionally.
In reality, there is "The Silenced Majority", an underclass of poor people, some of them homeless, who are deliberately kept disenfranchised. There are so many systemic hurdles that prevent them from voting; paperwork to register to vote ( which marginalized people may not have ), or the sheer struggle of daily survival on the street. Being able to vote is a luxury one cannot afford, if one is fatigued from sleeping outside, not getting proper meals, and healthcare, let alone reliable information about the elections, candidates, public issues, and the solutions each platform promises. When a body is tired hungry, sleep deprived, stressed from not having regular showers or healthcare, the mind is not functioning well. Their executive functioning is so impaired, that voting to express one's preferences as a co-equal citizen of a Democracy, is a far cry. A homeless person is looking for their immediate needs, the next meal, a toilet, someplace to rest/sleep safely, medicine / medical care, and sometimes, an angry fix. They could not vote if they wanted to.
These people are kept down, because their suffering serves as a visible example to the middle class. The message to the middle class is - be a good worker, tolerate a toxic workplace, a job that slowly kills you, and don't ask for more. Obey the law, and cooperate with the police. If you fall out of line, you could become homeless like that person on the street you walk past every day. Enjoy your little material comforts, your bread and circuses ( pizza & football ), watch TV and media, and stay entertained. Be grateful to your capitalist masters, and don't unionize.
The upper class throws just enough crumbs from their table to make the middle class into happy slaves with Stockholm Syndrome, loyal to their bosses, anti-union and bourgeois in their political mindset, led around like sheep by mainstream media, supporting military spending and war, from being fed a steady diet of nationalistic propaganda. They often think that the system is fair, media tells the truth, cops protect them, courts deliver Justice, government means them well, and wars are fought for their benefit. They might look on the lower class, the homeless, with contempt, calling them lazy drunks and addicts, ungrateful and unpatriotic. Or they might throw them some pocket change to soothe their own malaise.
"Football, beer, and above all, gambling filled up the horizons of their minds. They were easy to control."
~ George Orwell.
This is how even well meaning voters are turned into bourgeoisie bootlickers, pawns of the elite, security guards, soldiers, lawyers, accountants, clerks, janitors, maids, delivery people, burger flippers, or workers filling any number of menial or meaningless roles, for little pay, with the illusion of freedom, sold on the ideals of nationalism, without feeling much solidarity with the homeless, and without a thought of standing up for their rights.
This is a Fake Democracy, a rigged system, political theater put on for the middle class, by the upper class.
This Divide & Rule strategy of the elite is what maintained the hierarchical pyramid of proto-democratic society.

She walked at her own pace, in her own way, thought her own thoughts, and refused to copy others, stumble in and out of trends, live in fear, or keep up on the "news."
And she found that she was quite content.

Freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
Despite the constant rhetoric from Republicans about religion being under attack, it’s right-wing Republicans who are working to make Christianity the only religion in America to the detriment of other faiths.
Republicans are slowly moving from the Constitution and the laws of the land to a form of religious law used in dictatorships and oppressed nations.

Democracy must be renewed time and again. If we fail to do so, we won’t even notice that we are losing it.
paraphrase
Timothy Snyder.Every public and social debate about democracy, every decision we make, and every one action we take in the pursuit of democracy is a renewal of democracy. When this disappears, those who do not want democracy will very quickly try to fill the vacuum with authoritarianism.

Freedom, like peace and security, cannot be maintained in isolation. It involves being alert and on guard against the infringement not only of our own freedom but the freedom of every American.
