In this 3 minute short, Snyder explains the reality of Americans and freedom, that many Americans are authoritarian and prefer an authoritarian leader who tells them what to do, and that a sizable group of wealthy and powerful people prefer having someone like Trump because it lets them do what they want to without interference.

Libraries hold a special place in my heart, for reasons both intellectual and sentimental.
Librarians are guardians of knowledge, champions of freedom, and friends of the people. They are community members, dedicated to helping connect poor people with relevant information, so they can improve their minds, educate themselves, and access job resources.
After I became a #whistleblower in 2023, and was made #homeless , this notion was challenged.
Librarians would block my access, call the police, and have me arrested. If you find this hard to believe, please see my whistleblower website. The PDF linked, has an appendix giving the “receipts” ( documents to corroborate my account ).

I had applied to be a board member of the libraries in Hawai’i after attending their meetings, and saw some corruption there.
Scroll to the bottom of this page, and see the photo of the board members. How many native Hawai’ian faces do you see? Any Japanese or brown folks?
https://folkhawaii.com/about-us/
Their former Director of Membership, Bobby Gebbia, lied in court, before the judge and cameras, saying I was a board member, though I was not granted a membership.
In Hawai’i, librarians appear to be part of the occupying forces, whitewashing colonialism, insidiously taking over and erasing the true history of Hawai’i, which I heard from talking to local old timers.
250 years ago, Hawai’i had not heard of Jesus, and had its own deities, ( Goddess Pele, the creator, Kaneloa, etc. )
Then Captain James Cook invaded, and 90% of the natives were wiped out.Then Samson Dole attacked with soldiers, threw out the natives, turned their land into plantations, and turned the natives into day laborers on the plantation, on their own land.
Contrary to popular belief, Hawai’i is not a part of the USA, but a belligerently occupied territory,
1887-1897: Hawaiʻi Rebelled against the USA.
Hawaiʻian people did not choose to be part of the USA.
King David Kalākaua was forced to sign what is called the "Bayonet Constitution". Queen Liliuokalani asserted that Kalākaua's life was threatened: "He signed that constitution under absolute compulsion."Now Hawai’i is full of churches, their own gods are vanishing from memory, thanks to the “librarians”. There’s poverty, a drug epidemic, and seething discontent on the streets. Hawai’ian people are heavily overpoliced, thrown into jail without cause, and denied #justice in the #courts of the occupiers ( #USA ).
All this is hidden from the casual tourist, content to visit a golf course on the sacred land, that has been bulldozed, and be served drinks by little brown people ( usually from the Marshall Islands, Hawai’i locals have mostly left for minimum wage jobs in mainland America ).
Billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, “own” huge chunks of the land.
Chinese billionaire, Eva Liu, has controlled the Punalu’u Black Sand beach, with a sweetheart deal ( $1 ), and is proposing erasing this natural landmark, spawning site of the endangered Saddleback Turtles, and building resorts there, in the name of “development”.
In 2022, the Hawai’ian people had a setback in court.
( Hawaiian Kingdom v. #Biden ; December 14, 2022 )Librarians have been instrumental, in manipulating minds, and pushing through these insidious #imperialist agendas, and disenfranchising and displacing the local people.

I was afraid of a united Church; it makes a mighty power, the mightiest conceivable, and then when it by and by gets into selfish hands, as it is always bound to do, it means death to human liberty and paralysis to human thought.
Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”More about this quote: wist.info/twain-mark/85458/

"If we only focus on privacy, but not recognizing how it's tied to our #liberty I think that we'll be selling ourselves short." — Derek Broze
#Privacy matters. But what is it ultimately protecting?

Lobga #Rangzen joins the bravest of the brave. This amazing human being, a Free Tibet activist, set himself on fire and died a terrible death to draw attention to the repression going on in Tibet. There is a war on dissent and diversity going on in Tibet and other areas under Chinese domination that over the long term will not serve the Chinese people well. We must remember Lobga Rangzen, his example will live forever. https://phayul.com/solidarity-actions-sweep-dharamshala-to-honour-late-martyr-lobga-rangzen/ #Freedom #Empathy #Liberty, Equality, Fraternity#

I would like to see a one-panel comic with #trans versions (have penis - does not have to be visible, just implied) of Ladies #Liberty and #Justice pissing on a grave with a tombstone that says "47" (Like those peeing Calvin stickers)
I lack the skill to create it. But if the idea tickles enough people, maybe I will get to see some variations.

It's about time the US sees anger among the masses... the entire political establishment is self-serving and enriching.

As you have it in your power, sir, to do some service to letters, I implore you not to clip the wings of our writers so closely, nor to turn into barn-door fowls those who, allowed a start, might become eagles; reasonable liberty permits the mind to soar — slavery makes it creep.
[Puisque vous êtes, monsieur, à portée de rendre service aux belles-lettres, ne rognez pas de si près les ailes à nos écrivains, et ne faites pas des volailles de basse-cour de ceux qui, en prenant l’essor, pourraient devenir des aigles: une liberté honnête élève l’esprit, et l’esclavage le fait ramper.]Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]
Letter (1733-06-20) to a First Commissioner [Lettre á un premier commis] [tr. Tallentyre (1919)]More about this quote: wist.info/voltaire/85298/

And his hands would plait the priest’s entrails,
For want of a rope, to strangle kings.
[Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre,
Au défaut d’un cordon pour étrangler les rois.]Denis Diderot (1713-1784) French editor, philosopher

While the Statue of Liberty was designed and constructed in France, it had to be placed upon a solid base at its final destination. These foundations were laid according to Masonic tradition, with the cornerstone being set by William Brodie, Grand Master of Masons in New York, on 5 August 1884.
The record shows that it rained on that day.

La France est le pays de la liberté. Libre d'être raciste, libre d'être sexiste, libre d'être facho, libre de ne pas payer d'impôts quand on est ultra riche, libre de rester pauvre, libre de ne pas se soigner et libre de se faire enculé par un état capitaliste jusqu'à les entrailles. 🥹🤧 #France #capitalism #capitalisme #liberty #racisme #discrimination #climate #Europe #sexiste #MelonchonPrésident
