Freedom today in the US is an illusion. We live in fear not liberty. We self-censor/hide/give up our rights & stopped fighting because we think we won’t win. When we lose faith in our govt/elections/law enforcement/media/institutions - that’s what they want. It’s easier for them.
Easier to burn it all to the ground & implement whatever is planned. No Church? No police? No freedom of speech? No choice on vaccines or anything else? No diversity of thought? No critical thinking? No right to question anything deemed a “violation of community standards”?
They are counting on us to do the job for them. That’s why it’s good to be disillusioned - recognizing where we are is the first step to not being deceived. The truth is the only thing that counts. It cannot be altered. If we start there smarter people than me will figure it out.
But there’s no white knight, no magic pill. No one coming to save us. No one screaming about Americans in solitary confinement who’ve not been convicted of a crime. No one stopping the banks closing accounts, no one closing the border or even talking about national security.
If you think you can just keep your head down & follow their rules & somehow you’ll be ok, that’s an illusion too. What you’re clinging too is already long gone. And the hardest choices we now face will seem like good options when they too have been taken away. @threadreaderapp
