You are right. No humans worth the name would sit still for abject serfdom for VERY long... especially people with a hard-won and proud tradition of individual autonomy and personal freedom.
Now though, so much is new and different... socially and in terms of technology that I’d hesitate to make a direct comparison to the rejection of servitude as it was accomplished historically.
I always wonder about this.
At this point, what would it take for a whole class of disaffected and angry citizens to reclaim their rights?
We all have personal experience of enjoying and possessing these things AND in some cases, ourselves fought for or have relatives who fought to safeguard them. It’s not as though we would be breaking new ground and overthrowing an entrenched dynastic tradition.
Why are SO many Americans permitting themselves to be SO crudely and thoroughly subdued?
Where did this naïve and docile disregard for our personal freedoms originate?
Great tag line Smarty.
