Everywhere you look, you're told what to think, what to say, what to do, what to buy. We are enslaved as never before in this country, and half of us want more enslavement and for government to "take care of us," even at the cost of enslavement.
What does it mean, to be enslaved? First and foremost, it means that we have lost freedom of choice, and with it, acceptance of the fact that choices have consequences. That blank stare at the screen that I see in so many viewers reveals just how brainwashed they have become. Vote for Biden — yes, vote for Biden. Biden for democracy, Biden for prosperity, Biden for your Social Security, Biden for another COVID check or loan forgiveness. And half of Americans vote for Biden.
At the heart of freedom is independent thinking, and to think independently, one must ditch the media, even the media one normally agrees with. It's not enough to let Fox News do the thinking for us. We must be ferociously independent, and we must respect one another's independence. I enjoy talking with those who have different ideas about the border, the budget, or socialized medicine so long as they are not mental zombies. Nothing is more refreshing than meeting an actual free-thinking human being, one whose beliefs emerge from independent thinking and true concern for others.
That kind of thinking is independent of party or ideology, but it is inherently conservative since it is conservatives, not liberals, who think deeply and compassionately about choice, consequences, self-reliance, and human happiness. One cannot think in this way if one is a liberal or progressive.

No
And at that, they only see a need for a fraction of us as laborers...
Nobody that lives under a socialist government is truly free. You’re a friggin’ government slave worker.
2 years I had to drive all over the country because I had to wear a mask to fly. So technically, I am freer.
I think this is a parody. 2 years ago we were all in lockdown.
Not me. 2 years ago I could buy the car I wanted, now I cannot. They CLAIM it’s due to a ‘chip shortage’, but that’s funny - why is the ‘chip shortage’ only affecting chips used in cars, since I can buy anything else that I want that uses chips (or not)?
Seems to me that auto companies would simply bid-up the price of chips to the point that they got top priority, even if it costs them an extra $500 or so for a $50,000 car, and with that any chip shortage should be seen on the bottom end, cheap stuff, like $10 phone chargers.
Something not adding up here...perhaps the idea is to limit our purchasing of fossil fuel cars until we’re forced to buy EVs?
I suppose you are not associated with electronics manufacturing. There has indeed been a shortage of micro-controllers. I have redesigned four products in order to use devices that were anticipated to become available. Only now can I purchase the devices for the new designs. Those for the old designs are still slated for delivery around December of 2024. A great many of the smaller scale CPUs seem to have gone extinct.
“I suppose you are not associated with electronics manufacturing.”
Correct, I just don’t seem to having a problem buying virtually anything other than a car. If there are other upstream problems, it seems to me that they’re not very visible at the consumer level.
Obviously you know something about it...but still, I would think auto companies would have the money to get the attention of chip manufactures than someone who makes USB chargers, for example, regardless of the quantity difference.
Yeah, auto makers don’t make truly high numbers of cars when compared to phones and WIFI routers. In the case of cars, I think a government mandated slowdown is why their production is off. We are systematically being deprived of easy transportation and well as other unnecessary conveniences, like stoves.

Sounds like we’re on the same page!
The Green New Deal will take away virtually all our freedoms starting with the freedom to travel and the freedom to have basic comforts like heated and air conditioned homes. Already the Legislature in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota is banning gasoline power lawnmowers, chain saws and other yard equipment in the name of the climate change hoax. Will snow blowers, ATVs, snowmobiles and boat motors be next? The EV that government fiat will soon have in your driveway restricts where you can reasonably drive because of battery technology, but since these vehicles can be accessed remotely the government could easily decide when and where you will be going. The climate change cult would soon have us eating insects and laboratory grown Frankenmeat and freezing or shivering in our darkened homes when the winds are blowing or the sun is shining. The US is rapidly becoming East Germany and will soon spiral down to the level of Venezuela
"Vote for Biden — yes, vote for Biden. Biden for democracy, Biden for prosperity, Biden for your Social Security, Biden for another COVID check or loan forgiveness. And half of Americans vote for Biden."
While the first part does give a good account of what actual Biden voters are probably thinking, when in the voting booth, the last part- "half of Americans vote for Biden" simply is not true. And pushing that lie furthers the cause of the slavers IMO.
Another example:
We are enslaved as never before in this country, and half of us want more enslavement and for government to "take care of us," even at the cost of enslavement.
Again, the overall statement "We are enslaved as never before in this country" is truthful, but, half of us want more enslavement, is not.
Biden did not win in a landslide in 2020, which would make him the most popular president in US history-more popular than Obama the first time he ran, more popular than Reagan, more popular than JFK. NO WAY is this true.
As has been pointed out elsewhere- Biden and company may have figured out a way to get more ballots, but he did not get more actual votes from real voters.
To continue to spread that lie demoralizes Americans, and makes the task of taking the country back from the Marxists who seized it, more difficult than it already is.
And the above goes for anyone, politicians, media outlets, exc...as well. If we are EVER to get our country back, we have to start by dealing in truth, and not lies.
Biden did not win in 2020, and the country is not divided 50/50 over implementing Communism into our government. To imply that helps the Communists.
Other than these two statements mentioned here- the article is worth reading for the rest of its content.
Just my two cents.
I think that is a good critique. I agree.
