Man, that "freedom is slavery" bit is TOO real. I know a couple people who would almost fall for that shit...it's fkn sad and annoying that there are folks in our country who would genuinely stop, scratch their heads, and think "hmm...is freedom a form of white supremacy? would accepting loss of my freedoms mean I'm showing solidarity with marginalized people?"
The truth, in my opinion, is that those people don't actually buy that BS for a second, but they're weak and they're terrified of not fitting in. Fear of non-conformity is what got us into this fucking disaster in the first place, or at least what's caused it to dredge on for so long. Fear of freedom. I have a hard time having respect for people who willfully throw away their god-given freedom in the name of "conformity" and "fitting in." It's pathetic and infuriating.
