Your idea of freedom is very distorted. In places like Africa often times people have alot more freedom than we do. I think that you equate greed with freedom.. yes, we are greedy, we have iphones and shop at walmart and then load all of our shit into big ass SUVs. We live in a country where veterans are sleeping on the sidewalk and health insurance companies are openly killing ppl left and right. We live in a country where our government will kill us and blame it on Al Qaeda just to make us want to go to war to secure oil. We live in a country where deadly viruses are purposely put into the population so we have no choice but to accept vaccinations. We live in a country where our every movement and action is monitored 24/7. We live in a country where we have to wait months and jump thru loops just to own firearms. Its sad. Back in the 1700s and 1800s, we had freedom. Id say probably up until WW2 we had freedom. Open your eyes dude.
