How can people in the US complain about human rights violations in other
countries when the US violates the biggest ones? The U.S. uses the death
penalty, prison or often assasination for political dissidents,
sanctuary for anti left wing terrorists and in some cases Nazis, atomic
bomb proliferation, atomic bomb use and killing of massive amounts of
civilians, free speech "zones", the necessity of permits for a protest
or getting arrested for "disturbing the peace" or getting called and
arrested as a terrorist for being a political dissident. Every revolt
is punished and retaliated with a brutal amount of police(military)
force. So yes you have a freedom as long you do not exercise it against
the wrong people. Now we have the dictatorship of the corporations,
waging their biases on the Internet just like they do with mass media
and TV and basically anything that you can buy.
But private corporations are like small dictator ships at a level of
modern feudalism, were each CEO/CTO are the kings of their empire and in
their land they do what they please, all living under the protection of
the biggest and most hypocritical war maker in modern history. The U.S.
preaches freedom and liberty but smokes ashes and economic imperialism
over all peoples in the world pushing their liberalism/company feudalism
destruction around the planet and soon universe as they search and
destroy for their basic energy needs to supply this imperialist cancer
that is killing the earth. No matter if you are a Red, a Green or a Blue
all should fear the breath of "CNN, McDonald's and Disney" in there
pursuit to suck the earth dry. If you were not yet converted into this
dream spell of capitalism they have also move their fronts into the
Internet, were they are also injecting "freedom and liberty" mask into
information while they suck the only privacy you had into their
proprietary feudalism websites so the machine can do its marketing. And
do not even think about trespassing in cyberspace. You will go to the
empire's jails for more time than if you had actually done a violent
crime. There are no civil disobedience for this heads, have fear of the
all mighty power of corporate feudalism in the highway of the
information that one day it was truly free but now in general is just a
mask of propaganda. Live your "freedom"...
