Buddy UP Community - "Word of The Week" = FREEDOM.
Wow, what a word.
FREEDOM.
I've heard people talk about their freedoms and liberties, about their rights as free people and the list could go on and on.
However, what I notice is that no matter how many times and to what degree people talk about these topics which all eventually elude to and concretely lead to the idea of Freedom, I don't see the change in mindset that can bring it all about.
What is it that stops people from taking the steps forward towards a brave new world?
&
Worse yet, What is it that drives people to be exactly like the oppressors once they manage to get into a position of power?
It is almost like a viscous circle, one oppressor goes out the next comes in.
With each new regime, the individuality that makes us unique is literally crushed and everything is the same as it was if not worse.
What is it that drives humanity to keep repeating all this insanity?
On the 23rd of August European nations give homage to all the victims of totalitarian regimes.
For one example of this entire insanity that I was talking about earlier, I see it in Europe and especially on this date.
Many of us remember the "former eastern block", basically all the nations that were subdued to the terrors and evils of the socialist/communist regime.
Communism, killed over 100 million people on this planet that we know of.
We have all heard about the evils of the concentration camps, both the work camps and the death camps. Literal inhumanity that can not be justified in any way, manner or form.
Yet, even in todays world, the European Union in particular, there are so many ex totalitarians, ex commies in power. There are dozens of communist parties legally in existence, yet on the 23rd of August these same people hypocritically give homage to the victims of their terror and inhumanity.
I mean, WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
On one end of the spectrum, I dare say that it could be a transitional phase, yet in reality, I see the reality of things here and see that way too many people still think like totalitarians.
Hence, even if they claim to be "Free" and "respect peoples freedoms", all the EU nations have signed off on the UN AGENDA 21, which literally directs the stripping of all humans of all rights that could ensure their freedom as human beings.
So my point is that if peoples freedoms to individuality are oppressed using any of the idiotologies with whatever means they see to be acceptable to achieve their goals and final solutions, then there really is no difference between any of the terrorists out there.
We have yet to experience freedom and from what I can see, we are a long ways away from any form of freedom that will ensure our individuality and rights to be respected as such.
Again, a tough topic to hit on, but what I have touched on here is something that I feel needed to be said, no matter who all may not appreciate the angle that I took on the topics.
Cheers.
Yours truly,

Dear @jackmiller2
Great topic this friend you play, I don't live in Europe.
But I live in a country that is currently submerged in great subjugation of a population of more than 29 million people we have 20 years with a very well organized group of criminals occupying positions in the national government they proclaim themselves democrats.
But the reality is that they are not democrats, they are a compendium of big drug-trafficking criminals and communists is a cocktail of everything I describe.
We are prisoners in our country that has no liberties and when those liberties are claimed, in most cases people are killed in cold blood with gunshots to the face.
We Venezuelans have nothing easy, those who can flee do it and in many cases the countries that are considered brother countries that Venezuela once opened the doors for them, at this moment they close them for us and the worst after those countries made big dirty deals with the criminals who govern Venezuela, now they wash their hands, and they don't help the Venezuelans who cry out for help and help from the four winds.
Excellent, I would add something:
To be able to obtain a great freedom we must respect individually the individual rights of my fellow man in this way the sum of the individual repetitions will be the total value of the general rights or rights of a society. I believe that everything must be born of that respect from you to you for our fellow men.
I send you a big fraternal hug from Venezuela a country where even a few respect and seek the freedom of many.
Hang in there brother, for all it takes is one person to be an individual and show the future generations that it is possible.
God bless you my fellow man.
The power itself is what drives them. The people you mention crave power and money. That's ALL they care about, and each one would sell out their own MOTHER, in exchange for more power and more money. They are the absolute worst people on earth, and the worst we could have in our governments, and they and their ilk have held their positions in our governments for over 60 years. If we're to protect our precious freedom, it'll take more than talking about it. We MUST fight for our freedom or we will surely lose it.
