"...will cite but one intractable example: how does repeating the word "freedom" dozens of times to an audience where the word culturally does not exist, has not existed for generations accomplish anything?"
You are way off the mark on this one.
People who have never ever lived in freedom know exactly what it is..they die trying to get it and others to get here.
I must say that in fact, you are sorely in need of understanding the word.
I was simply stating my opinion and I respect yours.
Who is off the mark is itself an opinion, and I am content to let events and history decide.
Best regards.
